In the new teaser for Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938, Lee Dong-wook seems to be encountering people in 1938 with deepest grudges and broken relationships. The teaser started with the actor’s exhausted face, where he seemed to be too wary after fighting with people.

“It’s been a long time, Lee Yeon”
Lee Yeon is also seen engaging in a fight with Cheon Moo-young, a character played by Ryu Kyung-soo. Cheon Moo-young used to be the deity of the mountain. The trio of Lee Yeon, Ryu Hong-soo, and Cheon Moo-young are described as long-time friends by the site Asianwiki but are presently in a fierce struggle where they are keen to kill each other.
