Subscribers of Prime Video in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, and Japan can stream the Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 weekly, every Saturday and Sunday. As for the subscribers in the rest of the countries, the K-drama will be released later in the summer.
Meanwhile, tvN has released a preview of the upcoming fantasy thriller.
The trailer begins with Lee Dong Wook saying, "I’m Lee Yeon. A hero of this era". The mission given to him is to find the guardian stone and return it before time runs out. However, the year that he landed in is 1938, which isn't what he expected.
The first person who welcomes Lee Yeon is Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon), a Mountain Goddess of the West. She greets him with a smile saying, "It's been a while, fox".
Lee Yeon knows better than anyone that behind her pretty face, Hong Joo is a fighter to be reckoned with.
But, the one who makes Lee Yeon more worried is his former self in the year 1938, who had nearly gone nuts from searching and longing for Ah Eum (Jo Bo Ah) and, in the preview, cries out, "Why can't you be reincarnated?"
The gumiho also reunites with his troublesome brother Lee Rang (Kim Bum), Cheon Moo Young (Ryu Kyung Soo) - the Mountain God of the North who was also the gumiho's best friend but is now an enemy, and a monster from another country who is making terrifying plans to root out Joseon's supernatural creatures. The preview comes to an end with Lee Yeon saying, "Bygone relationships - good and evil - will begin all over again".
