Kim Go Eun the Leading Candidate for Female Lead in The King: Eternal Sovereign Opposite Lee Min Ho

View Comments

• She will act circles around him.

  • Unfortunately that never happens in a KES drama since the female lead is written poorly and always needs saving.

• why her? aren't there any other talented and beautiful actress in Korea? LOL

  • She was horrible in Goblin. Instead of portraying a joyful optimistic girl, she went overboard and coupled with her cringey voice, she appeared retarded. I never understand the hype around her esp with some kept highlighting her status as "movie actress".

    • You really don't no anything she was the best in goblin

    • @Youssra
      Because you are her fan, so you failed to see her flaws. She did a good job in CITT though but I still stand by what I said, she was HORRIBLE in Goblin. Reiterating RDJ in Tropic Thunder, "one should never go full retard" but she did. Period.

    • @Youssra - Gong Yoo is the best in Goblin. Even YIN is better than KGE. KGE's character is very poorly written and her acting is also very terrible. I know she was better in CITT and in movies, but in Goblin she is THE WORST!

    • tbh she isnt really is doing well in movies. thats why she need to come back to act in KES drama for popularity.

    • Sorry but it was for all the actors involved in Goblin their worst performance ! Aside the Young actors. Big popularity and money that's all actors gain with KES dramas, certainly not "a plus" in their acting .

• Oh no, please not her - very poor LMH match in looks and acting categories. I would root for 1 of Kim Eun Sook’s fave gal - Kim Ji Won if her schedule from Arthdal Chronicles allows or a new young rookie natural beauty gal instead.

  • Lol. LMH is such a pathetic actor and he is also quiet ugly. On the other hand KGE is really talented. It was not her fault that KES likes to make her female characters cringey.

  • @Icyqueen - KGE is natural beauty, LMH has a PS ugly big nose and puffy face. KGE can act, LMH cannot act. Yes definitely very poor match of KGE and LMH both in looks and acting categories. LOL.

  • Yea Kim Jiwon would be a really good choice. Kim Taeri too.

    • @Bianca Yes.. To Kim Tae Ri. Then again, she is starring in KES previous Drama not along ago.. So Kim Go Eun is still definitely the best choice. Think about A Kim Tae Ri given the character and direction like Kim Go Eun in Goblin. I doubt she will do better than Go Eun.

      Definitely No to Kim Ji Won. SHe is a limit acctress I have no idea why every single article I read, they keep reccomend her with their fav oppa. Think about Kim Ji Won given a character like Go Eun in Goblin, it would be more cringy. Her agency must be doing something right to promote her as a good acctress. .

    • Kim Goeun is not versatile herself either. People apparently hype her up because she's a movie actress.

      While I do agree that Kim Jiwon still needs to prove herself as lead actress, she at least pulled off Choi Aera better than Kim Goeun with for Euntak.

    • I completely disagree both KJW and KGE did the same with their female characters and if you think one was slightly better than the other it is purely the writing gap not the acting gap. Its true though both have limitations as an actor but honestly going up against LMH doesn't need any great acting prowess. They could cast a complete rookie and she would still 'match up' to him in terms of acting skill. By the ways both KGE and KGE are under the same company which is Kakao m and so is KTR only their sub labels are different so whoever is pulling the strings for one actress is also doing for the other.

  • @Nana : Nah Let's agree to disagree... then.

• She's beautiful.. inside...and she has the potential.that is why she is chosen.because she is good. Sometimes a story doesn't need beautiful people to portray a role...

  • She's beautiful, period. Everyone has its own brand of beauty, but I believw everyone is beautiful, God made sure of that.

• Kim go eun is the best. I don't know why everyone is saying a terrible things about her but she did so good in cheese in trap and goblin, i know that she is not beautiful like shin hye or suzy but she is a good actor so please stop saying a terrible things about her.

  • Actually, her character won't worth of her talent. But Since Kim Eun Suk drama tend to become popular one, so be it.

    Might be Lee Min Hoo fans wanting more beautiful and popular acctress.. I don't know what actresss they are thinking. But I would jump for joy if my fav actor, especially Seo Kang Joon and Song Joong Ki get pair with her!

    • Agree. I don't mind SKJ pairing with KGE as long as the script is good. KES is so overrated, her writing is cheezy and cringy. KGE's character in Goblin sucks. Better not be in another KES's drama if KGE is wise. Why get burnt twice? KGE did not get any more popularly but she got an F in her performance in Goblin. I don't care about LMH, he is worse than KGS in acting skill, let him pair up with Suzy, maybe double negatives will make a positive. Old flings also may sell in ratings.

  • People who says she horrible or not good because you never watching her acting besides that’s drama,,then you really don’t know why she’s the best ,,

    • don't worry. Failing once does not mean failing every time. You don't need to be so defensive. She was really bad in Goblin.

• I didn't like her character in goblin (well...I didn't like the whole drama), maybe it was the way she acted or maybe she had to act that way, we don't know...but I loved her in cheese in the trap and she's really pretty. Let's hope for a strong and smart female role for whoever gets it...cause we already know the drama is male centric :/

  • Totally agreed with you, actually I like Kim Eun Seok in Cheese in the trap she really fit well in her character there but not in Goblin as a female lead. I didn't even finish Goblin cause of Kim Eun Seok and her character didn't really go well together. Anyways I was looking forward to see the King LMO upcoming drama but not anymore if Kim Eun Seok is the female lead.

    • I think you meant Kim Go Eun. Kim Eun Sook is the writer.

• Again, Kim Eun Seok pick A movie acctress.. Gosh I miss Kim Go Eun so much on my small screen. I have been watching from her old movie and CITT (My fav of her performances in Small Screen). He is not gaining much popular in Goblin as much as Song Hye Gyo in DOTS. All lies on Gong Yoo. I wish this drama will make her name getting more popular. Please Kim Eun Seok give her baddass roles like Kim Tae Ri in Mr Sunshine!

  But I'm not sure though if Lee Min Hoo can handle act two different character in one drama. His range is the problem.

  • And KGE is always get paired with much older actor, so this pairing is a nice change from her previous pairing. Because For me, her best chemistry is still WIth Seo Kang Joon in CITT and Park Jung Min in Sunshine in my hometown. So it will be nice to see her get paired with close to her age.

• May be she is talented, but not her please, Lee min ho is way out of her league.

  • LOL, what?! it's the biggest joke ever.

• Do hope it is a fake news. On Goblin, she appeared nothing but a very spoiled unmature boring girl who even in her late twenties she still looked silly,no matrer how much effort were made to picure her deep and sensible. She was unable to transfer deep feelings: only were there childish acts, silly smiles, and annoying redubdant tears! These are not just my words, these are what almost all the critics have believed. Don't the Korean drama guys really care?

• People who says she horrible or not good because you never watching her acting besides that’s drama,,then you really don’t know why she’s the best ,,
