The story features the mythical nine-tailed fox, or gumiho, Lee Yeon who has just settled in the city. Able to transform 

into human form, he goes about cleansing human spirits, all the while creating havoc. Enter the talented television producer 

Nam Ji Ah whose current show features urban myths. With nerves of steel, she will stop at nothing to secure unusual, if not 

dangerous, subject matter to showcase. She sets her sights on Lee Yeon who appears just too good to be true; irresistibly 

handsome, intelligent, fit; in fact the ideal guest. But his heartlessness will render doubt in her that he is indeed of this world. 

Step-brother to Lee Yeon is the captivating Lee Rang, reputed to be the most dangerous of all gumihos living among 

humans. Despite being half-human himself, he harbors a deep-seated contempt for all people. For sport, he will unleash his 

seductive prowess upon his human-du-jour, by promising to grant them their wishes, only to trick them into paying a hefty price 

for their earthly desires…

An unexpected case leads Lee Yeon back in time to 1938, where he reencounters Ryu Hong Joo. Once a guardian 

spirit of the mountain in the west, she's now the owner of a high-end restaurant in the capital city of Gyeongseong. He also 

meets his younger brother Lee Rang. Meanwhile, another former guardian spirit and ex-friend Cheon Moo Young has become 

hostile. Lee Yeon struggles to return to the present, to his loved one.
