Even before its premiere, No Tail to Tell is capturing attention as the highly anticipated follow-up to Taxi Driver 3. The SBS fantasy rom-com, led by Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon, is set to air its first episode on January 16, 2026. The release of a new teaser has only heightened excitement, especially since it follows the special teaser unveiled over a year ago.
This whimsical series tells the story of a mischievous MZ-era gumiho (nine-tailed fox) who has no interest in becoming human and a self-obsessed top-tier human man. It blends fantasy and reality in a way that challenges traditional gumiho narratives. Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon’s fresh pairing promises unique chemistry in this quirky enemies-to-lovers setup.
Kim Hye Yoon plays Eun Ho, a gumiho who actively avoids doing good deeds or collecting human livers—not out of morality, but to avoid accidentally becoming human. Her eccentric lifestyle, driven by the desire to enjoy the perks of life without the hassle of mortality, sets the tone for the show’s offbeat humor.
Lomon, meanwhile, takes on the role of Kang Si Yeol, a world-class soccer star brimming with pride but never laziness. Known globally and adored for his talent, his character begins to unravel emotionally as he crosses paths with Eun Ho. Lomon’s transition into romantic comedy after projects like All of Us Are Dead is already sparking curiosity.
The recently released teaser showcases Eun Ho’s “life hacks” for staying non-human. From avoiding acts of kindness to refusing to collect human livers, she challenges age-old gumiho stereotypes with snark and sass. Her cheeky remark—“Who even eats livers anymore?”—adds to the show’s modern twist on folklore.
Adding more intrigue is Eun Ho’s strict “no flirting” rule, despite her uncanny resemblance to humans. But things shift when she meets Kang Si Yeol. A brief but emotionally charged exchange in the teaser—“Are you worried about me?” / “Can’t I be?”—hints at the slow unraveling of their unexpected romance.
Anticipation is sky-high, with netizens flooding social media with comments like “It’s finally coming!”, “Kim Hye Yoon in a rom-com is a must-watch,” and “Even the teaser is hilarious!” Fans are already marking their calendars, especially as the show slots in after Taxi Driver 3.
No Tail to Tell premieres on January 16, 2026, at 9:50 PM KST on SBS, bringing fantasy, laughter, and unexpected heart to the start of the new year.
