If you enjoyed the lore of the gumiho you might enjoy Gu Family Book. Both shows take aspects of gumiho lore. They are both based in historical era's. They both also have the aspect of secret keeping.
Similiar supporting cast (counted 4 supporting actors) , historical fantasy, special powers, sword fighting scenes
they are both amazing dramas. Gu Family Book and Arang and the Magistrate are both historical and romantic dramas with fantasy
The fight for good and evil are similar in both. Both main characters seek to correct the blood within them that gives them special power. Both have a cross-dressing lead, who present both a weakness and strength to the male lead.
Both combine joseon with supernatural elements, so sometimes they have the same feel. Both are romantic comedies with tragedy involved.
In both dramas, the main characters go through many difficulties and hardships but stay strong. Both dramas draw out similar feelings from the audience
Both involve the tale of the Gumiho's child however Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child focuses more on the childhood in comparison to Gu Family Book
Both feature male nine-tailed foxes who ended up falling in love with humans and wanting to become humans. Both also featured nine-tailed foxes that became evil spirits due to an unfortunate circumstances in the past.
Both stories are different, but the gisaeng house part in Gu Family Book is really similar to Ayaka's fight so for those who like it, you could give it a try!
