Netflix is starting 2026 on a bright, breezy note with No Tail To Tell, a light fantasy romantic comedy led by Kim Hye-yoon (Lovely Runner) and Lomon (All of Us Are Dead). Packed with playful magic, quick banter, and heart-fluttering chemistry, the series turns one tiny wish into a very big problem.

Premiering January 16, the series follows Eun-ho (Kim Hye-yoon), a cynical nine-tailed fox who grants wishes for a living - and is determined never to become human. Love was never part of the plan. But when a sudden accident involving Kang Si-yeol (Lomon), a narcissistic yet warm-hearted star soccer player, turns her into an ordinary human, one wish gone wrong sparks a magical, chaotic romance neither of them ever asked for.

Thrown together by fate (and a wish gone sideways), Eun-ho and Si-yeol tumble into a push-and-pull, love-hate relationship filled with snappy one-liners, chaotic misunderstandings, and the kind of sparks they swear they don't feel. As the supernatural collides with real-life emotions, the two discover that the hardest rules to follow are the ones their hearts keep breaking.

Meet the cast:

Eun-ho (Kim Hye-yoon): A "gumiho" (nine-tailed fox) from Myohyangsan Mountain who has spent centuries cultivating herself to become human - until she decides she doesn't want to be. Choosing a carefully balanced life over humanity, her orderly existence begins to unravel when she crosses paths with Si-yeol.

Si-yeol (Lomon): A central striker for Thames FC, Si-yeol is a divisive talent - ill-suited to team play, yet so dominant he can carry even a relegation-bound club to a title. His life is stripped of glamour and defined by routine. That balance is disrupted when a mysterious business card, once given to him by Eun-ho, resurfaces - nine years later.

What Is Gumiho' in Korean Folklore?

A mythical creature that has lived for hundreds of years, cultivating itself to become closer to being human. Often portrayed as a being with mystical powers who grants wishes. With each good deed, it grows a tail - and once all nine tails are formed, it can become human.

To mark the launch, a New Year Live Talk featuring the cast will stream on January 12 at 8:00 p.m. KST via Netflix Korea's TikTok and the Netflix K-Content YouTube channel. A playful twist on Korean folklore with a modern rom-com sensibility, No Tail To Tell premieres January 16, only on Netflix.
