A peek into Kim Gun-woo's probable next role in Eunjoong and Sangyeon
Kim Gun-woo recently garnered appreciation after playing a negative character, Son Myeong-oh, in director Ahn Gil-ho's 2022 drama The Glory, alongside a star cast of Song Hye-kyo, Lim Ji-yeon, Lee Do-hyun, and more. Fans appreciated his acting skills over the course of The Glory's release and success. The actor too is grateful for his recent rise in popularity, as he told a news portal once:
"I'm so grateful that the viewers loved 'The Glory.' I really don't have any other words to describe it than say thank you. This goes out to the international viewers too." (Source: Allkpop)
Eunjoong and Sangyeon's plot will revolve around drama writer Ryu Eun-joong and filmmaker Cheon Sang-yeon who were childhood friends once. Their friendship came to an end due to a past incident until now, when their paths will cross again when they are adults.
Kim Gun-woo is in talks to play Ryu Eun-joong's love interest, Kim Sang-hak, who is a kind and honest person adored for his pure personality, whose special interest lies in cameras. The couple dated in their college years and ended up parting ways only to be reunited later when Kim Sang-hak becomes a famed film director.
If cast as Kim Sang-hak, this will be the actor's next role after his appearance in The Glory. His earlier works include Fight For My Way (2017) and Catch the Ghost (2019). Fans await to see the range the actor will be displaying in his future endeavors.
