"Tale Of The Nine-Tailed" Stars Express Thanks And Love As Drama Comes To An End
The cast of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” shared their final thoughts over the drama wrapping up on December 3.
The tvN program is a fantasy action romance drama that starred Lee Dong Wook as the male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) Lee Yeon, Jo Bo Ah as producer Nam Ji Ah, Kim Bum as Lee Yeon’s brother Lee Rang, and Lee Tae Ri as the beast Imoogi.
On December 4, Lee Dong Wook posted photos on Instagram of himself holding a cake in front of a van that’s been decorated to celebrate his hard work on the drama.
He wrote:
I sincerely thank the director and writer who believed in me and trusted me. I always felt reassured on set because you would always listen to me, no matter what I suggested.
I also sincerely thank the actors who I worked with on this project. I always tried to take the lead on set, and I once again thank Jo Bo Ah who would always console me, endure, and wait. It was an honor to be able to act with you.
Thank you so, so much to our staff who kept working hard without getting exhausted during the very long time of seven months, and I love you.
Our staff are the people who made “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” perfect from beginning to end. Thank you.
Finally, thank you to our viewers who understood and loved “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” and each of our characters even more than us. To be honest, I can’t express all my feelings with just the words ‘Thank you’… I feel sorry and sad that this is all I can say. I am just so sincerely grateful.
I tried to show you a living and breathing “Lee Yeon.” Even if there were parts that were lacking, I hope you will be understanding and will remember him for a long time.
I hope that you will remember “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” and Lee Yeon for a long, long time. Thank you.
Take care of your health and don’t get sick. I’ll be back as an improved version of myself in the future.
