Actress Kim Go Eun has been showcasing her acting talent alongside these handsome Korean heartthrobs - from Gong Yoo to Jung Hae In to Park Hae Jin and now, Lee Min Ho. She has proven plenty of times that she's a talented actress and a leading lady that everyone adores.
Kim Go Eun is currently starring in the SBS fantasy K-Drama "The King: Eternal Monarch" with Lee Min Ho. She already has an exciting and eventful eight-year career in the entertainment industry.
The actress, even without prior acting experience, debuted as the female lead in the challenging film "A Muse" in the year 2012. In this film, she portrays the character of a high school student who does a part-time job as the cleaner for a renowned 70-year-old poet. This man, later on, develops deep feelings for Kim Go Eun's character and eventually made her as the inspiration for a short story he is writing that explores his sexual fantasies about her.
However, regardless of her outstanding performance in the said film, it was still not the perfect moment for Kim Go Eun to pursue her acting career full-time. She still needed to go back to school, so she took a hiatus to further her craft. Then, fast forward two years later, she appeared in the action thriller film "Monster," which offered the viewers a peek of Kim Go Eun's versatility.
There were a lot of movies that followed, which were recorded as part of her filmography, and through this, she has proven further her extraordinary onscreen charm that contributes to her one-of-a-kind take on the leading woman role.
Kim Go Eun's small screen debut was through the 2016 drama series titled "Cheese in The Trap," then in the same year, it was followed by the most popular hit fantasy drama "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," more known as "Goblin." Thanks to the unparalleled success of "Goblin," the 28-year-old actress's fame skyrocketed. Even though this may be a great blessing to the actress, it also gives her a lot of pressure when it comes to choosing her next project to take on.
Nevertheless, the next projects she did after the hit "Goblin" are the films, namely "Sunset in My Hometown " and "Tune in for Love," which did not disappoint the viewers. These were the suitable projects that Kim Go Eun felt were "less demanding" but are still good.
