Overview

"Human from Today" (Korean: 오늘부터 인간입니다만, lit. "Starting Today, I Am Human") is an upcoming 2026 South Korean television series directed by Kim Jung-kwon, known for "Love to Hate You" and "Maestra: Strings of Truth." Co-written by Park Chan-young and Jo Ah-young, it features 12 episodes, each approximately 60 minutes, rated 15+ for teens and older. Produced by Binge Works and Studio S, the series adapts a gumiho narrative with a modern twist, set to air on SBS TV every Wednesday and Thursday at 21:00 in second half of 2026. Filming wrapped in late 2024, with the first script reading held in September 2024. Initially slated for 2025, the premiere was postponed to 2026, stirring fan anticipation.

Plot Synopsis

Eun Ho, a flamboyant nine-tailed fox (gumiho), thrives on eternal youth, indulging in human pleasures like fashion and fun while dodging good deeds to avoid becoming mortal. Unlike traditional gumihos who yearn for humanity, she revels in her carefree immortality, collecting "vices" to maintain her status. Her world flips when a bizarre accident with Kang Si-yeol, a narcissistic soccer star obsessed with his physique, transforms her into a human named Kim Ok-soon. Forced to navigate mortal struggles—emotions, responsibilities, and an ID she rejects—Eun Ho clashes with Kang Si-yeol, whose arrogance masks deeper vulnerabilities. Their love-hate dynamic sparks witty banter and chaotic misadventures, from mistaken flirtations to supernatural dilemmas. As Eun Ho faces a choice between humanity or vanishing forever, the series weaves comedy, romance, and self-discovery, exploring whether a mischievous fox can find meaning in a human heart.
