tvN’s latest offering is an out-of-this-world K-drama. Quite literally. “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” tells a tale of a century old gumiho (nine-tailed fox) who’s searching (and pining) for his lost love. We also have a feisty human and a mischievous half-brother in the mix, along with plenty of other mythical creatures peppered throughout. It’s a rich story Continue Reading

Everyone’s got their own tastes when it comes to what they’re looking for in a partner, and different things appeal to different people.
