  1. 5 Must-See Performances By 'Train To Busan' Star Gong Yoo

    Over the course of almost ten years, Gong Yoo has become my favorite actor because of his versatility and his ability to make it unbearable for me to watch him cry. This summer he starred in the zombie blockbuster Train to Busan (2016) that earned a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94%. Though this film gave him worldwide recognition, it's not the first performance that has garnered international attention. Here are five performances that you shouldn't miss if you enjoyed Gong Yoo in Train to Busan.

    1. Coffee Prince

    Yoon Eun-hye and Gong Yoo

    In 2007, Coffee Prince took the Korean drama world by storm and was considered a controversial series since it tackled the topic of homosexuality. Gong Yoo plays the character Choi Han-Kyul, a spoiled young son of a wealthy family who's forced to start his own business or face the loss of his family's monetary support. He opens up a coffee shop he calls The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince, where only men can work at. As he struggles to build his company, he befriends a hardworking young man and eventually falls in love with him, only to learn that he is actually a her. It's a great gender-bender romance that has since become a classic for all Korean drama viewers.

    This drama earned Gong Yoo an MBC Acting Award and ultimately, the show won Best TV drama at the Korean Producers Awards.

    2. The Age of Shadows

    Starring Song Kang-Ho and Gong Yoo, The Age of Shadows has officially become South Korea's Oscars entry for next year's awards ceremony. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100%, The Age of Shadows is a spy thriller set in the 1920s during South Korea's time under Japanese Imperial Rule. I have not yet seen this film because here in hot-as-hell Arizona, none of the theaters are hosting this brilliant piece of cinema.

    3. Silenced

    Back in 2011, Gong Yoo took on the heartbreaking role of Kang In-ho, a new teacher at a school for hearing-impaired children high up in the mountains of Gwangju, South Korea. He discovers a dark secret that forever changes his life as he fights hard to protect the children of the school. Once you watch Silenced, you'll be enraged to hear that what happens in the movie actually happened in real life and nothing has been resolved concerning the matter. It's not a film for everyone and I cried and grimaced as I watched it. It truly breaks your heart.

    4. The Suspect

    For The Suspect, Gong Yoo plays a North Korean field agent on a mission for revenge after his wife and daughter are murdered and the only person who can help him is killed. Yoo performed all of his own stunts for this film without a backup stuntman. The stunts include fight scenes, car chases, rock climbing, and skydiving.

    5. Finding Mr. Destiny

    Finding Mr. Destiny offers a quirky love story between a woman who is clung to a man who was her first love and a man who is trying to help her find that first love. Gong Yoo plays a failed travel package salesman who scares away all of his customers by selling them reality instead of fantasy. He starts his own agency and decides to help people reconnect with their first love. It's a fun, lighthearted role that offers a different side to Gong Yoo's acting, demonstrating his versatility.

    Is It Over Already?

    This list may be over, but there are other wonderful performances by Gong Yoo that I haven't listed here and can be found on his IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes page.

    Yet...

    Have no fear, more Gong Yoo content is near!

    Bonus!

    If you're still interested in watching more of Gong Yoo, check out his new Korean drama Goblin coming out this December on Dramafever.

    Based on Korean folklore, Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) is an immortal ‘goblin’ who is the Protector of Souls. He rooms with an amnesiac Angel of Death, Wang Yeo (Lee Dong Wook), who has killer looks and takes deceased souls away. When Kim Shin decides to end his immortal life, the only way he can do it is to find a human bride. And he chooses to win over Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun), a beautiful (human) priestess.

  4. @Princi_86 don't worry about the popularity of this drama once it 'll start 'll gather more and more attention and i've feeling it'll be hit too 

    my feelings never disappoint me :lol: because i had the same feeling before GY Movie "Train To Busan" released and it became big hit in Korea and all Asia And i'm sure the reason this drama 'll be successful and popular is the Bromance between GY and LDW ,it'll gather attention especially both of them are big names :wub:

    honestly i don't know if drama trend was  live search trend or for hour i only care it was the first one :D:D and today is no.13 of all drama search and that's good especially it didn't start yet while popular drama like " Legend Of Blue Sea" is no.47 and even in movie.naver the number of likes of Goblin is nearly 700 likes while " Legend Of Blue Sea" only 65 likes and that's good ut 

    i don't know if this true or not but in this Canadian Article they said" This Series  is already sold in several Asian countries, including China.

  5. Watch: “Goblin” Releases Dark And Suspenseful Teaser Featuring Gong Yoo

    Gong Yoo Goblin

    He may have looked pure and beautiful in previously revealed stills, but don’t be fooled, Gong Yoocan still be intimidating as a goblin.

    The main character of tvN’s upcoming fantasy drama “Goblin,” the actor is featured in a teaser that doesn’t look exactly romantic or comedic.

    Released on October 13, the short video flashes a warning message, “Turn off the lights. [Or else] he’ll come,” before dramatic music plays while close-ups of Gong Yoo quickly flash by.

    At the very end, he eerily says in a low voice, “You will end up meeting an angry god.”

    Gong Yoo will be playing a goblin who must find a human bride in order to end his immortal life, and his subsequent adventures with amnesiac grim reaper (Lee Dong Wook) and a girl with a strange fate (Kim Go Eun).

    “Goblin” is the work of writer Kim Eun Sook and producing directer Lee Eung Bok, who worked together on “Descendants of the Sun.” It will premiere on December 2 following the end of “The K2.”

  7. Shooting a South Korean mega series in Quebec

    The film crew was at work Wednesday in parliament.

    Some 70 members of a South Korean production team are in Quebec these days for filming a television series that Asia could reach a potential audience of over one billion viewers. 

    "You could compare it to a soap opera famous American," says Charles Gaudreau, Producer at sights Images. Quebec production company can not disclose nor the names of the actors nor the title of the series due to a confidentiality clause.

    On social networks, actress Kim Go Eun However relayed a photo of his visit to Quebec.Gong Yoo is the other star of the movie, "Brad Pitt" in Asia, said Charles Gaudreau.

    "We were told that the author of the series is somewhat comparable to Fabienne Larouche, but in Asia," says Charles Gaudreau. The series in question is already sold in several Asian countries, including China.

    It's funny, because we toured a lot in the Old Quebec and many Asian tourists seem to recognize and moved to meet them.

    Charles Gaudreau, Producer at sights Images

    Four or five episodes of the series, which is divided into one-hour episodes, will be held in Quebec City. "The story is really taking place in Quebec. They mention that it goes to Quebec, "Mr. Gaudreau.

    Three members of the crew   

    It is rare that a series of this magnitude is turned in the capital. "When we need big studios and high technical demands, it's harder to turn Quebec. It occurs much more in Montreal, "says Gaudreau.

    In this case, the series producers were looking for "extraordinary landscapes" for a shoot that takes place only outside.

    Filming for the series was made possible through the collaboration of the Office of major events in Québec, Québec City Tourism and Destination Canada.

  8. The "Brad Pitt" of South Korea shooting in Quebec

     

    (Quebec) "The Pitt" of South Korea is in town for what would be the most important film made in Quebec in 2016. Images of the capital will be viewed by almost one billion Korean or Asian who watch the TV series this winter.

    A Korean television crew of 70 people is landed in Quebec City last week for filming the series Dokkabei (Goblin) , including the first episode should be released in December 2016, on the other side of the globe.

    The team, supported by sight images, Quebec section, was on his fifth day of work Monday, having started taking pictures on 5 October. The tray is transported to parliament, the Tourny Fountain.

    Met there, Charles Gaudreau, producer at sight images, was bound by confidentiality agreements and could not confirm the identity of the actors or even the title of the series. "We are witnessing the shooting of a drama [and great] Korean featuring a popular actor out there who could be compared to Brad Pitt [for South Koreans]," was it limited to said, adding that another "very popular" actress also attended the scene.

     

    According brief research by The Sun, it is indeed the Dokkaebi series. The actors are visiting Quebec Gong Yoo and Kim Go-Eun.The latter shared snapshots of the capital on the social network Twitter on Sunday, showing in particular the popular actor and the Château Frontenac. 

    Product placement 

    According to Charles Gaudreau, Destination Canada, Tourisme Québec and the Québec City tourism are behind this important decision that should pay big dividends. "The goal is to reach a billion people [in South Korea and elsewhere in Asia] if all goes well," he said. The crew was apparently looking for a romantic place when they met Quebec representatives.

    Without being able to reveal the extent of the scenario, Mr. Gaudreau confirmed that Quebec really was part of the series, and therefore serves no decor to reproduce any European city."You can really see Quebec for Quebec [...] Except maybe a scene." In all, by combining each appearance in the different episodes, almost 45 minutes of action will take place here.

    The brand wants to be a charm offensive to push Asians to choose Quebec as a destination trip. "The goal unstated, it is known now, either in the TV series or movies [where] the product placements are very strong. This is a project that will serve to position Quebec as a business card for Koreans or Asians who will listen that TV-series here. "

    The locations are also emblematic. Le Château Frontenac, Petit Champlain, Old Quebec "in general" and Tourny Fountain used background to Gong Yoo and his band. 

    In addition to the impressive Korean team, Attraction Images provides forty full-time workers, not including extras needed for some scenes. "This year, in 2016, I feel that this is the biggest shooting in Quebec." 

    Charles Gaudreau told that the shooting gave rise to moments rather comical. While many Quebecers pass the plate without really paying attention, a number of Asian tourists visiting stumble upon one of the greatest TV stars of their continent.

    "They stop and take pictures. They do not understand what he did here, was it fun. It is not only known in South Korea, but throughout Asia. I have a friend from Montreal who is Vietnamese.She has seen her films subtitled in English! " 

    For the curious, the shooting must return to the Château Frontenac Tuesday.
