EVIL JIAH > REGULAR DUMMY JIAH. Judy and Linda desperately need better rules in episodes 9-12 of “Tale of the Nine Tailed” (구미호뎐), a TVN supernatural romance starring Lee DongWook, Jo BoAh and Kim Bum.

HOT TAKE: JiAh's parents should never have been allowed to come back. We suspect even the drama writer doesn't like the character of JiAh (Jo BoAh). Kim Bum did not have enough screentime in these episodes, which is a huge bummer.

TVN is taking some extra time to fix up the final four episodes, so we'll be back in three weeks to cover the finale!
