The newest teasers for tvN’s fantasy drama The Lonely, Shining Goblin finally have the two leads meeting onscreen. Gong Yoo (Big) stars as the mysterious goblin, described as a protector of souls, who’s always on the lookout for a human bride who can end his immortal life.
In the first teaser below, he walks past Kim Go Eun (Cheese in the Trap) in the rain and time slows as he senses something different about her. As he turns back to watch her leave, he says in voiceover, “A bride has appeared.”
The new series from hit writer Kim Eun sook (Descendant of the Sun) is about the bizarre living arrangement between a goblin and an amnesiac reaper, played by Lee Dong Wook (Bubblegum), and the goblin’s quest to end his immortality. Yoo Inna (One More Happy Ending) co-stars as Lee Dong Wook’s love interest, the owner of a chicken shop with a sunny personality. Yook Sung Jae (Village: Secret of Achiara) is a chaebol heir whose family looks after the goblin.
Kim Go Eun plays a high-schooler with the fate of a person who was supposed to die, who remains optimistic despite her difficult life. In the second teaser below, she sits with a birthday cake alone by the ocean and wishes for a part-time job and a boyfriend before blowing out the candles. As soon as she does, the goblin appears and asks, “Was it you? Were you the one to call me here?” I’m still wondering how they’re going to pull off a romance between a high school girl and a centuries-year-old god, which is a weird problem to introduce when the actress is in her twenties anyway and doesn’t need to play younger.
The teasers continue to be moody and beautiful, so I’m sure the show will be something to look at. It would be nice to also learn a little more about the characters in them, but I have a feeling we’re just going to be kept on ice until December. I just hope the show is worth the wait.
It's such a relief that Kim Go Eun appears nice enough in this drama. I don't like her hair and style on Cheese In The Trap but she looks bubbly here and I am sure enough that her acting is a hit!
Gong Yoo may not have the best looking face for Korean actors and he's not my cup of tea, but he's still one of the A list actor with his acting and I just can't wait to see him on Kim Eun Sook's drama!
The Lonely, Shining Goblin premieres December 2.
