My personal thoughts- by Jass K.

This is a bit unexpected! I rarely saw anyone say they wanted a second season of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed.” The drama was not the biggest success in terms of ratings or hype overseas so the decision to return with a second season feels a bit odd.

The first season had 16 episodes and back then, I talked about how I felt it didn’t need to be this long, I wonder what exactly they have to tell that requires 16 more episodes of content. I am not against a second season, but I am surprised by the news. When I think of a tvN drama that needs a second season, this isn’t one that comes to mind especially with the way it ended.
