I thought screenwriter Kim Eun Sook was taking on a lot with her expansive medical disaster zone romance drama Descendants of the Sun, now it looks like she was just warming up for larger scale set pieces in upcoming fantasy drama Goblin. The stills and teasers so far have been melancholy and contemplative for the most part, whatever character or … Continue reading →
K-actor Gong Yoo may be playing an immortal mystical Goblin in the titular fantasy tvN K-drama but he’ll be having male competition from both the human and inhuman sides. His roommate in the drama will be played by Lee Dong Wook, who isn’t your average roomie and in the just released stills above show a contentious first meeting with Gong … Continue reading →

The latest trailers are out for tvN‘s fantasy romance Goblin and this time the focus on the ffated connection between leads Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun.

The promos for Legend of the Blue Sea feature leads Lee Min Ho and Jeon Ji Hyun solely to the point that it feels like they are the only characters in that drama.

Whatever screenwriter Kim Eun Sook has in store for her first cable network drama in tvN‘s Goblin (The Lonely Shining Goblin), I’m fully onboard with the dreamy melancholy vibe. It feels otherworldly which is exactly the mood to go for, and the four newly released character teaser videos don’t tell much in terms of narrative but sell tons of atmospherics. Gong … Continue reading →
Seeing Hyun Bin looking so dapper fine at a recent bowling event is a nice reminder that screenwriter Kim Eun Sook not only makes stars she can also take top stars and make then even more successful and popular.

The arrival of Gong Yoo as the titular Goblin in the upcoming tvN drama continues to be an ad for bucolic fall fashion circa the countryside. New stills are out showing Gong Yoo wandering around the countryside some more in the same vein as the first set of stills, and this time he looks even more perplexed and concerned.

So excited, I’m so so excited for year end tvN fantasy drama Goblin even if tempering my expectations is the wiser move. The first teasers are out even though the drama isn’t arriving until December, but these are definitely just teasers as it barely offers a glimpse of Gong Yoo as the titular Goblin of the tale.

I totally bust a chuckle when I saw the first drama stills of Gong Yoo from the set of upcoming tvN fantasy romance drama Goblin. How can I not when nothing about these three drama stills remotely convey anything about the drama other than (1) Gong Yoo is gorgeous, (2) Gong Yoo looks melancholy and contemplative, and (3) Gong Yoo’s … Continue reading →
Overseas filming looks to become part and parcel with the trend of pre-producing K-dramas, which makes practical sense since there is plenty of time to plan the more technically challenging filming and to ship everyone out. Two upcoming cable network K-dramas just announced an overseas shoot scheduled for the coming months. tvN is sending the leads of Goblin to Canada … Continue reading →
Young K-actress Kim So Hyun may have had a solid outing this summer with Let’s Fight Ghost, hands down my favorite fun and meaningful K-drama, but she’s certainly striking while the iron remains hot in scheduling her next role. It’s not a large part but the choice of doing this drama shows that Kim So Hyun is super savvy about … Continue reading →
