Actor Lee Si Woo supports the drama's narrative firmly with dense acting and a mysterious atmosphere.
In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama No Tail to Tell (written by Park Chan-young·Jo Ah-young, directed by Kim Jung-kwon), Lee Si Woo plays Geum-ho, a key figure who spans Eun-ho (Kim Hyeyoon)'s past and present, delivering a wide emotional range and leaving a strong impression on viewers. Accordingly, we looked back at Lee Si Woo's performance in No Tail to Tell.
▲ Geum-ho the gumiho who faced a tragic fate... Lee Si Woo's portrayal of steadfast conviction
In the early part of the drama, Lee Si Woo vividly portrayed the cruel fate of Geum-ho, a gumiho who chose human life. Even when pursued as a traitor in extreme circumstances, she showed a strong inner resolve not to regret the finite life she chose. In particular, the scene in which she lashes out at Eun-ho's suggestion to become a gumiho again, saying "You, never appear before me again," completed the character's agency to protect human life to the end with Lee Si Woo's distinctive weighty acting and left a deep aftertaste.
▲ Reappearing as the palm gumiho with contrasting charms... a bright transformation that wears innocence instead of tragedy
In episodes 5 and 6, Lee Si Woo reappeared as the palm gumiho with contrasting charms, delivering a dramatic twist. She put down the heavy past narrative and innocently expressed the fox's fascination and curiosity toward the human world. Geum-ho displayed a mysterious fox ability to heal Si-yeol (Lomon)'s wounds, and also showed a bright side, calling Eun-ho sister and following her. Lee Si Woo conveyed this with lively expressions and energy, injecting vitality into the drama.
▲ "I want to become human" a longing for life... Lee Si Woo's three-dimensional acting that deepened the narrative
Above all, what captured viewers was Geum-ho's consistent attitude toward human life. The confession, "I want to be an unhappy, sad human who ultimately dies," intertwined with Geum-ho's past refusal to give up human life and added credibility to the character's narrative. Lee Si Woo delicately distinguished between Geum-ho's past melancholy and the palm gumiho's pure yearning, completing a three-dimensional character who traverses fate.
