"Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938" D-DAY, Lee Dong Wook and Ha Do Gwon Face Off!

On the 11th, the production team of tvN's weekend drama Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 unveiled a glimpse of Lee Yeon (Lee Dong Wook) embarking on his final hunt as the series approaches its conclusion. With little time left to return to the present, attention is focused on what strategies Lee Yeon will employ in his ultimate showdown against the final boss, Kato Ryuhei (Ha Do Gwon).

Previously, Lee Yeon appeared to have completed the hunt for the Japanese mercenary corps alongside Ryu Hong Joo (Kim So Yeon) and Cheon Moo Young (Ryu Kyung Soo). However, he discovers a new fact: Cheon Moo Young has awakened as the original mountain spirit. The original mountain spirit, disguised as Lee Yeon's brother, enticed Cheon Moo Young and ultimately killed him after achieving his goal of obtaining Lee Yeon's treasure.

The news of the kidnapping of Jang Yeo Hee (Woo Hyun Jin) and Yoo Jae Yoo (Han Gyu Won) following the unexpected death of their friend was shocking. Unable to stand by while his despairing younger brother, Lee Rang (Kim Bum), suffers, Lee Yeon arouses curiosity about the missions he will undertake during the remaining time.

In the released photos, Lee Yeon's charisma shines as he appears unbeatable. Upon hearing the news of Gyeongmu Nation's Chief of Military Affairs, Kato Ryuhei, being forced into an unwanted marriage with Seon Woo Eun Ho (Kim Yong Ji), Lee Yeon resolves to turn their wedding venue into a funeral of the century.

Especially striking is the fierce gaze of Lee Yeon, who cannot forgive the actions of the Japanese yokai who kidnapped his loved ones. Finally, Lee Yeon finds himself in a final confrontation with Kato Ryuhei. Tension fills the air as they probe each other. Expectations rise regarding how Lee Yeon will demonstrate the terrifying power of the Korean mountain deity to Kato Ryuhei.

A tense moment is captured as Lee Yeon and Gu Shin Joo (Hwang Hee) leave the chaotic banquet hall and head somewhere. To return to the present, Lee Yeon must arrive at the Immigration Office during a lunar eclipse while carrying the guardian stone. Curiosity mounts as to whether Lee Yeon will complete all the missions and arrive on time.

The Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938 production team stated, "A fierce mental battle will unfold until the end. Lee Yeon will pour everything he can into protecting those living in 1938. Lee Yeon's actions will provide thrilling catharsis until the last moment.
