Gong Yoo and Nam Joo Hyuk, the Gods who Replaces the era of Chaebols
Now is the era in which the main character of dramas are Gods, not Chaebols anymore. In fact, the unrealistic story and the romance from the fantasy genre drama with a God as its main character have been making so many female viewers go crazy.
There is Nam Joo Hyuk, who plays in ‘Bride of the Water God 2017’ as Ha Baek, ‘God of Water’. Ha Baek, who is destined to be a king, has a confident and arrogant character. Ha Baek calls So A (Shin Se Kyung) as his ‘servant’.
As Ha Baek, Nam Joo Hyuk has shown his perfect visual and received many good comments on his acting. Despite many oblique comments, the romantic drama telling the love story between Ha Baek and So A gets a lot of hope from viewers. Viewers anticipate that Nam Joo Hyuk with his Ha Baek character will shine in the future.
Meanwhile, Gong Yoo acted as Goblin Kim Shin in tvN’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Goblin’. Gong Yoo’s deep acting as a Goblin who is looking for his bride made many viewers admire him.
For a tv cable channel drama, ‘Goblin’ achieved a very high rating, over 20%. This was what caused the drama to create a syndrome both at home and abroad, and earned the actor the title of ‘Hallyu Star’.
Recent dramas are dominated by the character of the gods with different abilities. It should be noted that the trend in main characters of Korean dramas have moved from Chaebols to Gods, as demonstrated by ‘Bride of the Water God’ and ‘Goblin’.
