After watching Gong Yoo in ‘Coffee Prince’ the logical next step was ‘Train to Busan’ but instead I wet for “Big”. Later with different shows & many other actors, I have started with ‘Guardian: the Lonely & great God’. As Kim Shin the great general he is stabbed in the back literally on returning back successfully. He lies in a field with his sword all blooded with his blood.
In the present he appears in Seoul, in western outfit & in search of his bride who will set him free. Also there is this Grim reaper not visible to all. The story also features the small girl who was almost not born. She sees ghost. With her mother no more she is with her ill-mannered aunt.She celebrats her birthdays alone.
Gong Yoo one of the most popular stars is very much at ease with his Godness. A clip on You tube showed the reaction of a fan actually meeting Gong Yoo face to face. She just couldn’t believe her eyes. That is the effect he has on people.
After many unsuccessful shows Kim Go-eun was noticed in this show for the first time. It made her the star she is today. Presently she is working in the ‘King: the eternal Monarch’ with Lee Min Ho.
The writer Kim Eun-sook is also the writer of ‘King : the eternal monarch’ so understanding her style is easier. I have also seen her dramas ‘Secret Garden’,’The heirs’ where she has been phenomenal too. She has won many awards for ‘Secret Garden’ alone. With Outstanding script writer for ‘Heirs’ she has also got the award for’Guardian: The lonely & great God’
With Lee Dong wook,Yoo in na (My love from the star), Yook sungjae, Jung Hae in (From Tune in for love & others, more recent ‘Piece of mind’) should make it interesting to watch.
