Side notes: I've not read this manhwa as whole so I need to add this warning before anything else: The ending of the series can be rushed! I know that it can turn many people away from it but I feel it to be necessary to be said at this point 'cause this manhwa would have been judged differently on basis of the four first volumes than as a whole series. Without the less glorious ending this manga would be probably scoring status of a great manhwa title.^-^ The art is okay level and even better than that depending the scene... so I'm fine with it. Also the story setting was interesting enough for me to read the first volume so it's not bad... (but as noted... the manhwa has strong first two volumes). Still I'm sticking around to see how it ends and for that reason it stays on my list.

P.S. R+ due of mild nudity.

Main character

Laon

A gumiho searching for his tails in the human world. He doesn't look it, but he's 998 years old. Ambiguous gender.

(Source: MAL I corrected the gender for "he" due of the images in the beginning of the manhwa.... though he can also become "she" depending what he sees and likes to be.)

Tae-Ha Kwon, 29

A third-rate journalist trying to recollect his past. He lost his memory after an accident. With that accident he also lost someone important to him but he can't remember what happened to her. He has been looking for her for three to four years without any clues. That has made his life quite miserable.
