Watched kdrama Tale of the Nine Tailed

And it was super!

From Wikipedia: The drama tells of Lee Yeon (Lee Dong-wook) -an over 1000-years-old Gumiho and once the guardian mountain spirit of Baekdudaegan -now a city dweller. He works with Taluipa(Kim Jung-nan)-an agent in the Afterlife Immigration Office and the protector of the Samdo river- to eradicate supernatural beings that threaten the mortal world. He lives in the city where he is assisted by his loyal subject, veterinarian, and fellow Gumiho, Goo Shin-Joo.

What keeps Lee Yeon living is his dream of becoming a mortal —- even if it means losing his superpowers and his eternal soul , even if it means in human form, you have to experience the cycles of illness pain death——-so that he can be with his first love, a human. But foxes cannot fall in love with humans and the connection was damned in the past.

The two reconnect in this life as lovers and the plot goes on to show their ill fated path that is to repeat.

It goes to show that attachments and energetic connections and the very strength of it makes people come back again and again. It shows that unresolved issues come back again.

But you can choose a new reality . Your choice of a new belief and making new choices or creating new pathways is what creates a new reality for you and your loved ones. ie. Yeon became a mortal in the end.

What is lovely of the drama is that it shows you how one creates their reality with their thoughts, fears, values, past experiences—- with their inner world. And that what we see on the outside are but reflections of what is going on in our insides.

It shows how in spit seconds we can be in another reality —- if we will.

The drama captures what we grapple with daily with our subconscious and consciousness and puts it in a storyline for us to find better resonance. And above all, it puts the power back in us. To tell us: We can and have all the power to create and recreate our reality in any moment so that we no longer are bound by the past .
