I haven’t covered Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child much since it began airing, which is mostly a factor of not having enough time. But the drama has attracted a steady, if smallish, fanbase who are drawn to the drama’s fresh take on a familiar genre of summer horror fare.
Here are some candid photos capturing comic moments between the cast, taken between shoots, and the lighthearted feel here contrasts with the darker mood of the series. Above is Han Eun-jung as a gumiho, while young Kim Yoo-jung plays her daughter.
I did watch the first episode and thought the premise was intriguing, although I haven’t been able to squeeze in the time to continue watching. The drama takes the gumiho concept in an interesting direction by setting up Han Eun-jung’s character as a reluctant, almost tortured, gumiho. She wants to turn human and the loss of that opportunity is a crushing blow for her. While the gumiho traditionally feeds on human organs, she has enough compassion to resist that urge, which is sort of like the morality conflict you’d get with the “vampire with a soul” construct in the Western horror canon.
Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child has been pulling in constant but lowish ratings on Mondays and Tuesdays, and is approximately halfway done with its run.
(Humorous though it may be, I find the photo below of the two girls — Kim and her co-star Seo Shin-ae — creepy even though they’re clearly joking. Something about ghostly little girls just unnerves me.)

RECENTLY RECAPPED
Those people can either really jump or the angle of the cameras make it look like they can jump really high. LoL. I like the broomstick shot. So funny!
@1 – you took the words out of my mouth!! their jumping (skills) is amazing!
the two girls look like they’re trying out for The Ring… O_O
I’m watching this and enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. The puppy love part of the story is ADORABLE.
i love the contrast between the pictures and the genre of the drama!
D
it makes me laugh
This is a very good drama, but had to drop because Viikii is not releasing it in the US. If you can watch it, so so because the girls are wonderful in it.
I love this drama. Both girls portray their roles well.
OMG..the first three pics are scary. Hehe…:-)
I’m currently watching this drama without subs but am enjoying it..
I wish i could understand what they were saying…
the actors/actresses are really good and it does scare me from time to time..
Gumiho: Fox Child FIGHTING!!!
OMG…They’re so scary…
i’m watching this drama and really enjoying it…especially the puppy love lol!
@mcmpsly7
Why are you watching it without subs? WITHS2 is subbing the drama iirc.
the last three pics are hilarious!
I’m hooked on this drama. The 2 young girls can realllllly act. The story scares me at some parts…mainly how cruel/selfish some people can be. The scenery is super.
The young puppy love here is sweet. I keep on waiting for them to grow up though.
@13 yeah, I’m continuing watching the drama because of the two young girls… though the fresh plot compare to other kdramas make it interesting also
ah! i love the third picture from the bottom – wish all my jumping pictures could turn out so pretty, lol.
alright, am I the only one who thought han eun jung’s head was just floating in that first photo? scared the heck out of me!
looks like an interesting drama to watch not to mention different plus two adorable and talented kids as leads
I really want to watch this, but subbing is hard to find. BOOOO. But, I’m going to wait even if I have to wait for a while. Yeah I don’t think I have forever to wait. But, we can only hope.
And the creepy picture with the kids? Horror film worthy. *shivers*
@ 16
you are not the only one..
at first glimpse i also thought that Han Eun Jung’s head just floating!!
if not because of their smiling face, i would certainly thought so..

@ 16 & 19
Oh GOOD. I thought I was the only one. It freaked me out a little because I seriously thought her head was either floating or joined to KYJ…which would be just as scary.
And okay, I watched the first episode of this drama, and it was all sorts of interesting, except for the makeup. I kind of wished they laid off on the make up…or layered it on more. Will anyone be recapping this drama? It’s really, really all sorts of interesting…
ewww the make up looks gross but is not that bad actually LOL XD
I was able to watch on dramastyle up to episode 2 with E-subs, but since Viikii is having licensing issues, had to drop it. This is an interesting drama; I have to wait until next year to watch it.
Go by the Soompi site for subbing info.
I’m currently watching this drama too and I’m really enjoying it. I just keep wanting to see more and more
The second pic looks really creepy xD
And there are english subs by WITHS2 too.
I’ve watched every episode without subs and continue to mainly because I’ve enjoyed every move in Seo Shin Ae’s young career and have also enjoyed the little one (Kim Yoo-jung) who plays the lead. It appears as if tomorrows stars are quite going toe-to toe with the veterans and quite often come out on top. Han Eun Jung is as fetching as ever and it’s quite a change to see some of the usual “good guys” playing sinister roles. (The camped up pictures reassure me that they’re all still ok in real life!) Of the two junior players, the little fox-child is really pretty and will probably go on play the young female love interest in future dramas. In interviews, she seems a bit like her character, often wide-eyed and a bit scared and also a bit shy. The “mean girl” (Seo Shin Ae) is as alert and confident behind the scenes as she is on camera. She does much of the heavy lifting here making you revile her character at the same time you marvel at her talent to make you do so. This little lady has a dream to become the “best actress in the world and to have her name known in every country.” (according to a clip that I saw with her on Entertainment Relay) Watching her work makes me confident that her goals may one day become realised…
Haha! I love this 2 actresses who has a, like, “dark” make up like that!
How funny ^__^ Bravo!
@24 Yeah, I know about WITHS2 but my landlady/housemate would kill me if I download too much things (and I bet it would take a lot to download the raw vids). Talk about slowing down the internet. But, so far I’ve seen 4 episodes. The fight scene s are total wire works, some of the stuff makes me go ‘huh?’, but I still like the show.
lol at the 1st pic. Someone’s being blocked. >.<
Ani: You can watch it on http://www.dramacrazy.net or www. mysoju.com.
On drama crazy all but the last three episodes are subbed. ON mysoju I think they have up to episode 12.
You don’t have to download those.. you can just watch. I just watch them and have a great time.
I really like this series, but it like watching a train wreck, you just know its going tio end really sad.
