After his successive stunt in "Train to Busan," Gong Yoo continues to soar higher in fame. With "Goblin" gaining positive viewers reaction, Lee Dong Wook might be overshadowed despite being well known for his other projects such as "My Girl."
Looking back, while Gong Yoo was handpicked by the creator of "Goblin," Lee Dong Wook worked his way up to gain the spot. A former report from Asia Starz News relayed that given the stunning success of "Goblin" in the small screens, all eyes have turned towards Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo and both stars managed to amplify their roles and ensure that each episode is well taken and done, but despite the rising notions for the segment, there has been no word of confirmation that supports the idea that Lee Dong Wook was not the first choice.
It is also reported by the same post that no matter what scene he's in, the grim reaper has chemistry with any character from the "Goblin" and whether it's his bromance with Gong Yoo, the cute friendship with Kim Go Eun, or his bashful interactions with Yoo In Na, viewers are always entertained when Lee Dong Wook is onscreen.
In a different note, All Kpop reported that unlike episode 11, episode 12 of the "Goblin" finally kept things going, suffered with some tragedies, and ended on a real intense note and while the story evolved into a different, but expected, direction, there were many scenes that caught everyone off guard in the end.
The eunuch Park Jong Won continues being the ultimate creep factor in this episode and since the previous episode's story seemed to crumble into pieces except for the introduction of Park Jong Won's sinister spirit, viewers are biting their nails waiting to see why his character was suddenly brought into the picture, as noted by the same post.
With the recently aired episodes catching everyone off guard, more expected scenes are bound to occur and already anticipated by the fans and followers of "Goblin."
