4. Human Starting from Today
Shin is considering the role of Eun-ho, an unconventional gumiho (a mythical Korean nine-tailed fox) who, rather than seducing men and eating their livers, lives a quiet and carefree life, shirking responsibility to enjoy all the aspects of human life. She aims never to become a human and avoids men like the plague.
Despite all her efforts, she is unintentionally turned into a human thanks to an accident caused by Kang Si-yeol, a self-centred football star who may be played by Lomon.
