Geum-ho 2.0 Propose a Solution in No Tail to Tell Episode 6
No Tail to Tell episode 6 opens with Woo-seok confronting the group and demanding the truth. He insists that he wants to help and regrets that Si-yeol kept the recent discoveries from him. However, Eun-ho remains unconvinced and accuses him of acting out of self-interest, pointing out that without her powers, Woo-seok gets to keep his successful life untouched.
To shut the situation down, Eun-ho orders Geum-ho 2.0 to erase Woo-seok’s memory of the encounter. Moments later, he snaps back to reality inside his car and receives a call from his father, who angrily scolds him for skipping training and secretly going to South Korea. Although the football club is furious, fragments of Woo-seok’s erased memory begin to resurface, revealing Geum-ho 2.0’s weakening powers.
Meanwhile, the supernatural dilemma takes center stage again. Geum-ho 2.0 explains that she can still become a nine-tailed fox and switch fates with Eun-ho. In doing so, she would finally become human, while Eun-ho would turn into a fox and restore Si-yeol’s life.
Switching of Fates
Eun-ho quickly realises that Lord Pagun planted the idea in Geum-ho 2.0’s head. She firmly argues that there is nothing admirable about being human and urges Geum-ho 2.0 to abandon that dream.
Offended by Eun-ho’s words, Si-yeol steps in and tries to show Geum-ho 2.0 the brighter side of human life. Their disagreement escalates until Geum-ho 2.0 suddenly suggests going to an amusement park to experience it for herself.
Although Eun-ho pretends to dislike the idea, she ends up going along with everything Geum-ho 2.0 wants. Gradually, she starts enjoying herself, and Si-yeol notices, finding her reactions endearing. As the day goes on, Eun-ho and Si-yeol share a quiet moment and admit that they worry about each other. Si-yeol then lightens the mood by joking that he just wants her to stay safe long enough to fix his life.
Later in No Tail to Tell episode 6, Eun-ho grows pensive as she watches Geum-ho 2.0 having fun. A flashback reveals Eun-ho and the original Geum-ho promising to grant a wish to whoever becomes human first. Geum-ho already knows her wish: she wants Eun-ho to become human too, so they can live happily together and grow old side by side.
Back in the present, Eun-ho insists that human lives are weak, cruel, and fragile. In contrast, Geum-ho 2.0 explains that she would rather live a short but intense human life than a long, uneventful one. Another flashback shows the original Geum-ho reassuring Eun-ho that she has no regrets and encouraging her to live the life she truly wants.
As Si-yeol returns with a bandage for Eun-ho’s shoe bite, he notices his former agent, Yeon-su, struggling as a single mother to two young children. When he rejoins Eun-ho, she quietly reveals that she has accepted Geum-ho 2.0’s offer to switch fates.

Eun-ho Plans to Make Good Deeds
That night, Eun-ho struggles to sleep as she keeps thinking about Si-yeol’s kindness at the amusement park. Feeling hungry, she wakes him up and demands that he cook ramen. Although he avoids eating it to stay in shape, she persuades him to join her. Soon, the two end up laughing and sharing several bowls together.
Elsewhere in No Tail to Tell episode 6, Jang Do-cheol, the fox hunter, kills a shaman and steals her powers. At the same time, CEO Lee Yoon grows suspicious of how a fox and a famous football player like Woo-seok are connected to a penniless man like Si-yeol.
He orders Secretary Choi to investigate Woo-seok. Meanwhile, Coach Yong-gil grows frustrated as his team continues to struggle without a proper striker. Although the players suggest giving Si-yeol another chance, Yong-gil firmly refuses.
Attention then shifts to the “Good Deeds Project.” However, Geum-ho 2.0 shows no urgency in becoming a nine-tailed fox. Instead, she links her fox bead to Eun-ho, forcing Eun-ho—now fully human—to perform good deeds and build Geum-ho 2.0’s spiritual power.
Eun-ho proposes morally questionable ideas, such as waiting for someone to jump off a bridge or starting a fire just to save people afterward. Si-yeol quickly shuts her down, warning that false kindness will only damage her karma.
As they argue, a real fire breaks out at an orphanage. Without hesitation, they rush inside and rescue the trapped children. However, Eun-ho becomes stuck as the building begins to collapse, and Si-yeol injures his head while trying to save her.
Later in No Tail to Tell episode 6, Eun-ho wakes up in the hospital and panics, believing Si-yeol is dead. When she realises he is alive, he tries to joke about her obvious fear for him. However, he falls silent when she suddenly hugs him tightly and orders him never to die.

No Tail to Tell Episode 6 Review
Episode 6 deepens the emotional core of the series by slowing down and letting its characters breathe. The amusement park sequence and the late-night ramen scene soften Eun-ho in a way the series has only hinted at before, making her vulnerability feel earned rather than forced.
Her growing concern for Si-yeol adds warmth to their dynamic. While the flashbacks with Geum-ho quietly underline the story’s central question about what it truly means to live as a human.
At the same time, the episode raises the stakes by blending tenderness with danger. The morally messy “Good Deeds Project” highlights Eun-ho’s struggle to act selflessly, and Si-yeol’s steady moral compass grounds the fantasy elements.
The orphanage fire delivers a strong emotional payoff, ending the episode on a heartfelt note that confirms how much Eun-ho now fears losing Si-yeol, and setting up even higher tension for what comes next.
Catch the next episode of No Tail to Tell on February 6 via Netflix. New episodes arrives every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM KST and 8:50 PM PHT.
