Ever since the drama's premiere, we have witnessed Lee Yeon and Lee Rang's character showcasing different charms. Lee Yeon possesses a charming and powerful charisma, and Lee Rang, on the other hand, showcased his ability to transform into a human form. Lee Rang is continuously provoking Lee Yeon, which resulted in a deep tension between the two half brothers.
Knowing that Lee Yeon is patiently and desperately waiting for the reincarnation of a woman named Ah Eum when Lee Rang used this fact to plan a scheme against him, Lee Yeon told Lee Rang that he's just suffering from a "brother complex."
Lee Rang proclaimed his anger and hatred to Lee Yeon for leaving the mountain and his position as its guardian spirit because of a woman. As a response to this, Lee Yeon stated, "That's right. I turned my back on you."
In the drama's newly released snippets, it seems that there is a sudden fight between the half brothers. Lee Yeon's expression is emotionless while Lee Rang angrily charges into Lee Yeon like a crazy animal. His expression shows like there is something up his sleeves. They released their mythical powers in this duel and turned the place upside down.
It was revealed that this particular scene was shot way back in June, and before the filming of this scene started, both actors practiced coordinating their movements. They were able to show perfect teamwork and were able to amaze the staff on set.
The drama's production teams expressed that since both main characters, Lee Dong Wook and Kim Bum, have been familiar with each other for a long time and can portray the complex emotions between the two brothers in a very natural way.
The production added that the viewers should not miss the next episode to witness the powerful action scene between the gumiho brothers, Lee Yeon, and Lee Rang, which will give you a satisfying feeling as well as a shocking twist. Please watch the broadcast to find out what that twist is.
The 3rd Episode of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" will air today October 14th at 10:30 p.m. KST.
