GOBLIN

In the popular TV drama
series “Guardian: The Lonely

and Great God” or also
known as "Goblin", the male
lead is, quite literally, a god.

The popularity of the
character in Goblin has scored

ratings as high as 12.7 per
cent, according to Nielsen
Korea - can be attributed to
female viewers' yearning for
all-powerful male figures who
can solve the problems of 8

modern women with
increasingly stressful lives.

Lee Dong Wook Clarifies Story
Behind Him Getting Cast as The

Grim Reaper in "Goblin"

He explained, “I read an article
about how I was cast in ‘Goblin,’
and I was upset to discover a few

parts that were described
incorrectly. It’s true that I reached
out to writer Kim Eun Sook for the
grim reaper role, but it’s not true

that she had another actor in
mind for the role. After the article

went out, she called me up very
apologetically. But the truth is, I
went up to writer Kim Eun Sook
before the synopsis was out and
even before Gong Yoo was cast as

the goblin.”

“The storyline, fantasy genre, the
setting of a goblin and grim

reaper living together, playing
double roles, and everything else
about the drama was great,” he

added.

in the past.

had said that Song Ji-hyo is a friend

and talked of a particular instance
when Song Ji-hyo asked him to

02. IT’S NOT SIMPLY JUST AN INSIGHT
INTO THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY

Doctors may sound like it’s all about the medical field and the
various situations they face everyday. But this drama also
looks deep into the life stories of the various characters, on
how they’ve grown to the person they are today.

Director Oh Choong Hwan says: “We set the background of
the story in the hospital, because it’s the place where people
who are hurting, meet. These people meet, and learn about
love over time.”

03. GRAND COLLABORATION OF
DIRECTOR OH CHOONG HWAN &
SCREENWRITER HA MYEONG HEE

This production brings together two people who are behind
two of Korea’s biggest hit titles. Ha Myeong Hee was known
for her relatable yet not-cheesy lines in ‘High Society’.

Oh Choong Hwan co-directed ‘My Love From The Stars’, and
was well liked because his directing helped bring out the true
emotions of the drama.

“When good memories
and good meeting come

together, you want to
become a better
person.”
