Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook’s Heartwarming Friendship
tvN’s hit drama ‘Goblin’ marked the beginning of a heartwarming friendship between its two actors, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook.
On April 17, the channel’s tv program ‘The List’ discuss how a project could give birth to a lovely relationship between the people who were involved in it, and these two actors’ friendship is one of the most apparent example.
In ‘Goblin’, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook played as Goblin and the Grim Reaper, who had exploding chemistry when they were put in the same scene. In the drama, the two characters did not have a good relationship in the past, and that affected their present relationship as well.
However, in contrast to the drama, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook were very compatible off screen. In the shooting location, they often joked at each other and spent time to learn the scripts together. The two actors have a sibling-like relationship in real life.
One month after the drama ended, Gong Yoo appeared as a guest star in Lee Dong Wook’s fan meeting and praised him. “Wow, you’re still handsome!” Inciting the laughters of the people who were present.
Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook actually met for the first time when they’re doing military enlistment. Gong Yoo entered military first, followed by Lee Dong Wook, and they trained together for 2 months. After they ended their military service, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook are reunited in a drama that would later give birth to their beautiful friendship.
