Lee Dong-wook (Bad and Crazy) graces our screens again as our favorite broody gumiho Lee Yeon in the teaser for the second season of Tale of the Nine Tailed.

When we last left Yeon — Season 1 spoilers ahead, so beware! — he had finally gotten his happily ever after reunited with Jo Boa (Military Prosecutor Doberman) and living in idyllic civilian bliss. Which is why this Ji-ah-less second season, titled Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938, feels more like a spin-off than a continuation of the original story.

According to the plot description, after the events of the first season, Yeon one day finds himself dragged back to 1938 Japan-occupied Korea. Something’s gone awry in the celestial realm, and it’s up to Yeon to figure out what it is and fix it.

During his adventures he’ll run into old friends like the guardian-spirt-turned-restauranteur Ryu Hong-joo — played by Kim So-yeon (Penthouse 3) — who may or may not have nursed a fat crush on him in the past. He’ll also run into some old enemies like Chun Moo-young — played by Ryu Kyung-soo (Glitch) — another guardian spirit who was once Yeon’s friend until circumstances turned them into nemeses.

And of course, lovers of Kim Bum (Ghost Doctor) will rejoice to know Yeon’s brother Rang will also feature in 1938 in all his surly petulant glory.

The teaser gives us a short glimpse into Yeon’s journey to the past. We see modern Seoul flip into an older time, and a confused Yeon telling us in voiceover, “My world is starting to spin out of control.”

We then see the more ominous results of this time-slip: a room full of dead bodies, Yeon facing what looks like his evil alter-ego, and a camp-tastic mid-air smackdown, all while Yeon muses, “Looks like I’ve gone back to 1938.”

With writer Han Woo-ri and director Kang Shin-hyo both returning for the second season, Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 will premiere on May 6 on tvN.
