The following four key points explain why the show can be enjoyed by teenage audiences all the way up to adults in their forties and fifties!
1. For teenagers. Arouse the curiosity of the audience with a novel plot and fast rhythm.
The plot of The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately changes, introducing a male Komiho and combining their fantasy world with our reality. Li Yan is also the guardian spirit of the past of the Baekdu Mountain Range, which has lived for more than a thousand years. Traveling back and forth between Li Yan's past and present, renaming the Mitsu River the Underworld Immigration Bureau, and creating punishment in hell, this kind of storyline opens the audience's imagination. The plot of each episode is rapidly advanced, always leaving the audience with a dramatic ending that is amazing.
2. For people in their 20s. Perfectly shaped
When Li Dongxu, Zhao Bao'er, and Jin Fan were identified as the protagonists of the TV series, there was a lot of praise for the perfect casting. People in their twenties who are good at expressing themselves on social media are actively promoting their favorite characters.
Li Dongxu was praised for his existence and was very suitable for playing the role of Li Yan. Nan Zhiya, played by Zhao Bao'er in the play, is known as "Cool Unnie", and she plays Nan Zhiya who strives to find her parents after her parents disappeared 21 years ago. As a half-ancient Miho half-human character, Li Lang, played by Jin Fan, is commonly known as a "charming villain".
3. Suitable for people around 30 years old. Fantasy romance
Before the broadcast, Li Dongxu explained in an interview that 60% of the plot of "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox" is love, which further stimulates the audience. For people in their thirties, whether in their families or in their daily lives, what they value most is affection and endurance, and it is said that "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox" has become a small happiness in their busy lives.
More than 600 years ago, the love story between Li Yan and his first love, Arn, began, and they had no chance. For the past 600 years, Li Yan has been waiting for the reincarnation of Arn, and it is reported that she has finally been reborn as Nan Zhiya. Now that the couple can finally complete their love story, the audience will surely be thrilled by their long-awaited love.
4. Suitable for people in their 40s and 50s. Nostalgia for vernacular stories
The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox reinvents a legendary myth into a modern story, allowing audiences in their forties and fifties to reminisce endlessly from their childhood stories. In the fourth episode, this is especially important when the national viewership of women in their forties is recorded at 10.9%. As they recall stories they've heard before, they may be able to predict what will happen next, but they also find that what they observe has changed to match the pleasures of our generation. This includes a role like Tan Kim Jong-ran, who drank coffee and encountered many technical difficulties while managing the underground world immigration bureau. There is also the traditional Korean fable of "snail bride" Fuk Hye-ko (Kim so-jin), who also runs a Korean restaurant and delivers messages of monsters and ghosts. The action shown by these forces and the charm of the former guardian spirits of the Baekdusan Mountains also sent a wonderful baptism to the audience through the plot of each episode!
The crew said: We would like to deeply thank the audience for their recognition of the value and many charms of "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox", including its novelty and appeal to the public. We hope that this drama, as a fantasy action love drama that embraces love from teenagers to forties and fifties, in the case of combining generations, can continue and become a drama that the whole family can enjoy.
