'No Tail to Tell' Kim Hyeyoon saved Lomon and became human.
On the 24th, episode 4 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'No Tail to Tell' (written by Park Chan-young · Jo Ah-young, directed by Kim Jung-kwon) depicted Jang Do-cheol (Kim Tae Woo) beginning a full-scale 'fox hunt,' and showed Kang Si-yeol (Lomon), who had become bait in that trap, and Eun-ho (Kim Hyeyoon), who became 'human' as the price for saving his life. The briefly closer, unfamiliar and thrilling changes between Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol were short-lived, and a scene that flashed through Eun-ho's head like fragments surprised viewers with an unexpected twist ending. Episode 3 ratings reached a high of 3.5% (Nielsen Korea), and the series ranked 6th on Netflix global non-English content (FlixPatrol, Jan. 12–18), continuing its popularity.
Kang Si-yeol wanted to quickly reverse the swapped fate with Hyun Woo Seok (Jang Dong-ju). But learning that he had to make another wish to reverse fate, Hyun Woo Seok regretfully told Kang Si-yeol, "Just one more month, let's change it after just one more month," expressing his reluctance. Kang Si-yeol grew more impatient. Just then Eun-ho came to see Kang Si-yeol, and faced with her desperate, almost harrowing request, he pretended he couldn't refuse and replied, "When you wake up tomorrow morning everything will be back to the way it was."
But an unexpected variable arose. Jang Do-cheol, who targeted the life of the gumiho Eun-ho, seized Kang Si-yeol. Kang Si-yeol knew Jang Do-cheol was aiming at Eun-ho's life and was ambushed and knocked unconscious while trying to stop him. Sensing an unusual energy, Eun-ho appeared at Jang Do-cheol's lair. As if he had been waiting, Jang Do-cheol pulled out a cattle knife from his bosom. Fortunately Eun-ho was unharmed, and the knife Jang Do-cheol had stabbed with had turned into a straw effigy. After driving out Jang Do-cheol and Lee Yun (Choi Seung-yoon), Eun-ho helped Kang Si-yeol to his feet and apologized for dragging him into needless trouble because of her.
The crisis did not end and continued. While Eun-ho suddenly writhed in unknown pain, the blue fox bead that had been floating in the air shattered into fragments. When Eun-ho, who had collapsed in Kang Si-yeol's arms, opened her eyes again, she instinctively realized she had become human. Saving the dying Kang Si-yeol had returned as the price for that good deed. Eun-ho becoming human was not only her tragedy. With Eun-ho losing all her spiritual power, the ways to reverse the fates of Kang Si-yeol and Hyun Woo Seok also disappeared. Pah-gun (Joo Jin-mo), whom they needed to question about all of this, was unreachable, leaving them in a frustrating situation.
Meanwhile, at Eun-ho's request, Kang Si-yeol noticed something strange at Jang Do-cheol's lair where he had gone to look for the cattle knife. The colorful altar and decorations had vanished, leaving an empty abandoned construction site. Through a newspaper article found there instead of the cattle knife, Kang Si-yeol learned of the existence of another gumiho. Of course Eun-ho dismissed the claim, saying, "There is no other gumiho on this land besides me," but she suspected that events were unfolding as if planned by a god. Eventually the two headed to Seoraksan Mountain, where a gumiho had been discovered in the past, each for their own reasons.
At the end of the broadcast, the changed atmosphere between Eun-ho and Kang Si-yeol, who descended after stopping their hike without finding the gumiho or divine intent, drew attention. Eun-ho, now "human, day 2," who had lost a millennium of gumiho power and gained human-level (?) stamina, and Kang Si-yeol, who naturally tended to him and found his own heart unexpectedly pounding, brought smiles to viewers' faces.
But scenes that could not be distinguished as past or future, dream or reality, arose in sleeping Eun-ho's mind, bringing tension rather than excitement. After the cattle knife pierced Eun-ho's heart as she looked on with sad eyes, Kang Si-yeol's expressionless face holding the hilt of that sword sent chills. Whether human Eun-ho and fate-swapped Kang Si-yeol can save each other's "mangsaeng," and what the shocking ending scene of Kang Si-yeol stabbing Eun-ho hints at, heightened viewers' curiosity to the highest degree.
