Gumiho Waejun, The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox
KBS, (a.k.a. Forbidden Love) — Lee Min Woo

 

An ancient story told with a new twist, Hong Kong style martial arts. Min Woo is a cop investigating black market sales of human organs. During an undercover bust that goes wrong, he is saved by a mysterious clan also investigating the human organ black market trade.

While doing research at the natural history museum, Min Woo meets Shi Yeon, a curator for whom he feels an immediate attraction. He is not aware that she is part of the warrior clan of the Gumiho, and it is her task to protect her race from those who would harm them.

Shi Yeon is instructed to eliminate Min Woo because he is close to discovering the secret of the Gumiho, but as she is about to kill him she notices the pendant he is wearing, an exact replica of the pendant she gave to her childhood friend. After seeing the pendant, she cannot kill him; she also feels a strange attraction.

The investigation brings to light the complex story of the Gumiho, an ancient fox race with supernatural powers, their coexhistence wiith humans, and the two races struggle for supremancy. Min Woo and Shi Yeon's love will bring to fruition the prophecy of the 1000 year old Gumiho, but many have their own agendas and stand in the way of the prophecy and their love being fulfilled.

Along with Hong Kong style action, the drama is notable for featuring Jun Jin from Shinhwa as heir to the Gumiho leadership, and Uhm Tae Woong as his first lieutenant .
