Lee Dong-wook considers reaper role in fantasy drama Goblin

by girlfriday | May 26, 2016

 

Oh, interesting. Lee Dong-wook (Bubblegum) is up for the role of a reaper who takes up residence with goblin Gong Yoo (Big) in tvN’s new fantasy romance drama Goblin, which sets us up for bromancey cohabitation. Part of me is disappointed — I was holding out hope that the heroine would be the reaper in this story. But how could I possibly have anything against a bromance between two beautiful immortals? As for the human realm, Kim Go-eun (Cheese in the Trap) is considering an offer to play Gong Yoo’s love interest, the human bride he’s looking for to end his eternal life.

Kim Go-eun nabs lead role in ‘Goblin’ drama

Spoiler

 

May 27,2016

Actress Kim Go-eun has landed a lead role in the upcoming romantic comedy drama series “Goblin” that will be penned by star screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, who recently wrote the hugely successful series “Descendants of the Sun.”

In the fantasy romance drama, Kim will pair up with actor Gong Yoo of “Train to Busan” (2016).

The drama series is scheduled to hit the air in November on tvN, and it is reportedly based on a Korean fairytale story which is about a relationship between a goblin who wants to end its immortal life and a death angel.

Actress Kim is one of the most prolific actors these days. Her recent film “Canola” is currently screening nationwide and the 25-year-old actress appeared in the hit drama series “Cheese in the Trap” earlier this year, for which she received acclaim for her portrayal of Hong Seol, the lead female character, from the fans of the original webtoon.

Meanwhile, writer Kim is often dubbed the queen of romantic comedy drama series.

The last episode of “Descendants of the Sun” earned a viewership rating of 38.8 percent last month. With many people enjoying entertainment across various platforms including the Internet and smartphones, drama series these days rarely earn more than 15 percent of viewership.

Kim also wrote a slew of hit drama series. “The Heirs” (2013), “Secret Garden” (2010-2011) and “Lovers in Paris” (2004) are some of her creations.

Kim Goeun is a beautiful and talented actress and the fact that she is getting hate because she isn't to the bar of 'pretty and popular ' is sad,shouldn't her talent be the only thing that matters and not her looks? 

 

We all have different POV..

because Viewers really "anticipated" her next project ! And high expectation after dots ! In viewers eyes "kim eun sook" always choose the popular and eye candy also talented actress.  (NOTE: This is based on her previous project, its not my personal opinion)

[i.am.bugz.funny]

Lee Dong Wook is in...so how can I walk away?...don't tell me he will be the second lead...Omo how can I choose between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook...they're both my favorite...and talking about bromance...count me in...

[Yippeun_eonnie]

Another reason to anticipate this.... Lee Dong Wook.... But why not picking someone else for the female lead? It's not Go Eun a bad one,... It's just I wish it's offered to someone else.... or the someone else reject it and Go-Eun is the first to response??

Anyway... I hope Dong Wook is in the house.... I must admit KES always has her own way to tell the story... and it's good... though sometimes she slipped on telling us the end.

BUt I agree with below netizen comment when I read Kim Go Eun in talk for female lead in this drama

4. [+5,906, -441] Uhh....... hmm.... ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[staygold]

Everything is sounding good till now... good writer, excellent director... and top class actor.. I am having mixed feelings about Kim Go Eun though. She is gorgeous but I haven't seen her really act! Who knows may be this is the drama which brings out the best in her!! I will give her one thing... she looks beautiful in tragic scenes... may be that would work for this drama.

All said I would watch this drama just for Gong Yoo!!! 

[NRGchick]

Sad that all the negative news about KGE. 

It was the same thing when she was cast in Cheese - sigh.... we all can't be Song Hye Kyo or Yoon Eun Hae....

I for one am looking forward to this drama. Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun? *pushes all her chips on the table to the banker*

[lkgy99]

Oh My Lee Dong Wook 
i miss him so much 

[gangurhar]

Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo in one drama???! Are they trying to kill our hearts?! 

With regards to KGE's casting, Kim Eun Sook always has a huge role in casting. She writes her characters around her actors/actresses so she must have a good reason for casting KGE. I personally really liked KGE in CITT and she's done quite good in her movies. I have full faith in the team's choice of casting her.

Yonhap News - Naver: [Exclusive] Lee Dong Wook too becomes Kim Eun Sook's man... to be a sexy Grim Reaper in 'Goblin'


1. [+4,972, -77] Woah, I hope Lee Dong Wook finally shoots to fame too..

2. [+4,227, -68] Lee Dong Wook has good visuals and acting skills but he's one of those actors who has no luck..."Sexy Grim Reaper", the role suits him. Do well this time! ㅎ

3. [+4,712, -328] Everything sounds good, just change the female lead ㅠㅜ

4. [+3,997, -280] Make as much effort with casting a female lead as you did with casting the male lead. Kim Go Eun is not the right one

5. [+2,257, -92] Kim Eun Sook indeed chooses and saves those who can't get popular ㄷㄷ Can she turn him into a Hallyu star?

6. [+681, -31] Won't Lee Dong Wook look prettier on screen than the female lead though? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

7. [+804, -31] Just needs to take out Kim Go Eun

8. [+733, -66] Hoping Kim Go Eun's casting news isn't true ㅋㅋ Sorry... ㅠ

9. [+732, -70] The female lead should at least have the acting skills or the looks, one would suffice.. but they picked someone who's uncomfortable to look at.. It cut my excitement in half..

And there were no confirmation for Lee Dong Wook either. It is said that in google translator "Lee Dong Wook also being coordinated appearance".
