Even before its premiere, No tail to tell is grabbing attention as the highly anticipated sequel to Taxi driver 3. The SBS fantasy romantic comedy, led by Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon, will air its first episode on January 16, 2026. The release of a new teaser has only added to the excitement, especially since it follows the special teaser unveiled more than a year ago.
This quirky series tells the story of a mischievous gumiho (nine-tailed fox) from the MZ era who has no interest in becoming human and is a self-obsessed high-level human man. It combines fantasy and reality in a way that challenges traditional gumiho narratives. The new couple between Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon promises unique chemistry in this bizarre enemies-to-lovers situation.
Kim Hye Yoon plays Eun Ho, a gumiho who actively avoids doing good deeds or harvesting human livers, not out of morality, but to avoid accidentally becoming human. His eccentric lifestyle, driven by a desire to enjoy the perks of life without the hassles 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 full of pride but never laziness. Known around the world and adored for his talent, his character begins to unravel emotionally when he meets Eun Ho. Lomon’s transition to romantic comedy after projects like We are all dead is already arousing curiosity.
The recently released teaser shows Eun Ho’s “tricks” to remain non-human. From avoiding acts of kindness to refusing to harvest human livers, he challenges the age-old stereotypes of gumiho with sarcasm and sass. His cheeky remark…“Who eats liver anymore?”—adds a modern twist to the folklore of the show.
Adding further intrigue is Eun Ho’s strict “no flirting” rule, despite his uncanny resemblance to humans. But things change when he 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 love story.
Anticipation is sky high, with netizens flooding social media with comments like “It’s finally coming!”, “Kim Hye Yoon in a romantic comedy is a must watch,” AND “The teaser is fun too!” Fans are already marking their calendars, especially since the show will take place next Taxi driver 3.
No tail to tell will premiere on January 16, 2026 at 9:50pm KST on SBS, bringing whimsy, laughter and unexpected heart to the start of the new year.
