Gong Yoo shines once again with his guest role in Squid Game 2 and we cannot stop talking about the mad psychotic salesman role he has played this time. The madness in his expressions is beautiful and you know that the performance is perfect when you see viewers of the show rushing to X (formerly known as Twitter) to talk about it. As his magic once again sparks up in the air, we cannot deny that the actor has been delivering wonderful performances over the years.
Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the show stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, Gong Yoo, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, and other cast members. The plot follows Seong Gi-hun, a.k.a Player 456, who reenters the games but this time with a mission, to save as many lives as possible and put an end to this atrocity. But will he be able to succeed?
Thus, looking into this we bring to you a list of Kdramas starring Gong Yoo that show the actor’s talent and versatility which is hard to resist. While his guest role in the two seasons of Squid Game remains one of the best, we cannot get over his lead roles that have truly put the spotlight on his talent. With this, let’s begin!
Squid Game 2 Star Gong Yoo Kdramas
The Trunk
Starting with Gong Yoo’s latest Kdramas The Trunk, he plays the role of music producer Han Jeong-won who is haunted by his past and misses his ex-wife. The actor brings out the traumatic pain and the frustration that comes from the chaos his ex-wife has created in his wife in ways that are captivating and pull you to his side. He lights up every scene he emerges in and the way he plays out his character shows that he has truly understood the pain, awkwardness, and resistance of his character.
The Silent Sea
While this drama may not have settled in well with everyone, Gong Yoo in a spacesuit was all that his fans needed to go cheering around. And why wouldn’t they; it isn’t just him in a spacesuit, but also the way he plays out his character with a charisma that leaves us charmed. He is truly talented and you can see it in this show where he is able to bring out the best of his character who is more than just a soldier in a space agency.
Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy
Seeing Gong Yoo play the role of a student in one of his earlier dramas is definitely worth it. The chaos he brings in the drama which slowly turns around and shows him realising his feelings and becoming a better person is beautiful. He is once again able to capture the feelings of a teenager who finds growth through love once again proving why he is among the best actors out there.
Coffee Prince
Gong Yoo’s rise through Coffe Prince could be seen coming from miles away because the way he steals our hearts in this show is something else. His charisma in this show is skyrocketing and we will not deny the crush we developed on him because of this show that brings us a younger Gong Yoo. While this show is entertaining as it is, the spotlight is always on him as he becomes the prince of our hearts in this show.
Goblin
Finally, we have the Kdrama that is loved by fans even today; be it because of the charming aura Gong Yoo carries throughout the show or the chemistry he holds with every other actor in the drama. The way he embodies himself in his role as the Goblin is truly awe-striking and there is no denying that this is one of our favourite Kdramas and favourite roles played by Gong Yoo.
