Zhao Lu Si's The Story of Pearl Girl draws on ancient Chinese jewelry business for realism
tvN dropped a new poster of the upcoming fantasy K-drama "Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938", and the actors are seen rocking mid 20th-century fashion.
Kim So Yeon wears a red cocktail dress with exquisite pearl jewelry and a stylish hat on her head. With a sword in hand, she exudes boss lady vibes befitting the character she plays in the K-drama. The Penthouse actress will be seen as Ryu Hong Joo - a guardian spirit of a mountain in the west, who also owns a high-end restaurant in Gyeongseong (the old name for Seoul).
Whereas, Kim Bum - with long hair wearing an all-black outfit - gets a new look for the drama's second season. We remember him as Lee Yeon's (Lee Dong Wook) mischievous younger brother Lee Rang. In the poster, Lee Rang is seen carrying an axe, which stimulates curiosity as to what mischief he will cause in the upcoming series.
Kim Yong Ji is seen in a classic pleated skirt with suspenders, a puff-sleeved shirt, and a baker boy cap. She keeps a sleek and chic blunt bob and carries a vintage briefcase. In season 1, we saw her in the role of Ki Yoo Ri, a Russian gumiho and trusted accomplice of Lee Rang. Lee Rang had saved her from a zoo where she suffered maltreatment.
Hwang Hee also returns as Lee Yeon's right-hand man Gu Shin Joo. And we have an addition of Ryu Kyung Soo, who will be seen in the character of Cheon Moo Young - a guardian spirit of a mountain in the east who has bad blood with Lee Yeon. The poster shows him emitting fire from his hands, hinting he is one supernatural being who shouldn't be messed with.
And finally, Lee Dong Wook is seen in a vintage suit and his usual flaming red hair. At the end of season 1, he got his happily ever after with Nam Ji Ah (Jo Bo Ah), but unexpected circumstances bring him back to the year 1938.
The setting of the poster, the lying soldier in the front, and the phrase "It's time to hunt" pique curiosity as to why the supernatural beings are 'hunting'.
