No Tail to Tell Ep. 9

The ninth episode of No Tail to Tell delivered an explosion of tension as Si-yeol (played by Lomon) declared his sincere feelings for Eun-ho (played by Kim Hye-yoon). Meanwhile, a life-threatening crisis struck Woo-seok (played by Hyeon Woo-seok), the man who holds the key to their intertwined fates.

1. "Let’s Do This Right": Si-yeol’s Straightforward Attack

When Eun-ho tried to push Si-yeol away by claiming they wouldn’t see each other once things returned to normal, Si-yeol stood his ground. He drove the point home by saying, "I’m not playing around anymore, so let’s date for real." The "awkwardly bubbly" chemistry between the two—where even drinking a sip of water felt tense after the confession—brought big laughs to the audience. In particular, a couple-stretching session intended for romance turned into a comical scene of "catching a fox," creating a sweet yet chaotic atmosphere.

2. 4th Division Crisis: Withdrawn Sponsorship and Disbandment

A massive crisis hit Si-yeol’s soccer team. The nursing hospital, which was the main sponsor, withdrew its support, pushing the club toward bankruptcy and dissolution. This was revealed to be a scheme by Yi-yun, who returned home believing the Gumiho had disappeared. Si-yeol’s desperate struggle to save the team by encouraging his teammates and pushing through "self-organized training" was heartbreaking to watch.

3. 'Kim Ok-sun’s' Tearful Adjustment to the Human World

Determined to earn money, Eun-ho jumped into the part-time job market under the alias "Kim Ok-sun." From wearing mascot costumes to working as a supermarket cashier, she tried it all, but earning money proved difficult for someone with no certifications or technical skills. After losing all her earnings to cover a settlement error and even resorting to selling Si-yeol’s air conditioner second-hand for 200,000 won, her unpredictable antics left Si-yeol utterly bewildered.

4. [Shocking Ending] Woo-seok’s Heart Attack and Twisted Fates

In an unprecedented turn of events, Hyeon Woo-seok suddenly collapsed from a heart attack while watching a national team match. The fate of death that was originally meant for Si-yeol had shifted to Woo-seok. The episode ended with Eun-ho’s desperate realization: if Woo-seok dies, she can neither return Si-yeol to his original state nor save Woo-seok. This tragic omen for the trio brought the curtain down on Episode 9.
