BBG News

In 2019, Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na teamed up once more for another captivating K-drama, demonstrating their continued chemistry. This drama, titled “Goblin: The Lonely and Great God“, premiered in 2016 and quickly gained a massive following. Starring Gong Yoo, who later became famous for “Squid Game”, and Kim Go-eun from “The King Eternal Monarch”, “Goblin” is frequently recommended as a must-watch K-drama. The heartfelt yet sorrowful love story was intensely compelling, and the performances were equally engaging.

Nearly a decade has passed since the debut of Goblin, yet it continues to be hailed as a K-drama masterpiece. Although other Korean TV series may have achieved equal or greater popularity, Goblin has left an enduring impact on the genre. The affection for this show was so strong that viewers longed to see the cast collaborate again. Remarkably, Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na fulfilled this desire by teaming up in another K-drama three years later.

Lee Dong-Wook And Yoo In-Na Reunited In Touch Your Heart After Goblin

Touch Your Heart Has A Workplace Romance Premise

In 2019, Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na joined forces for the series “Touch Your Heart.” Lee Dong-wook assumed the character of Kwon Jung-rok, a stern and accomplished lawyer with a strong persona. Contrastingly, Yoo In-na portrays Oh Yeon-seo, a struggling actress who experienced a career setback following a scandal’s impact. After discovering a script that she thinks is tailored for her, Yeon-seo becomes determined to land the lead role.

Yoon-seo, initially, isn’t chosen by the drama director due to her questionable reputation. Instead, the director suggests that Yoon-seo works in a law firm to refine herself for the role she desires, which eventually lands her as Jung-rok’s secretary. Initially, Yoon-seo and Jung-rok clash due to her lack of work experience. However, as Yoon-seo demonstrates competence at her job, Jung-rok develops respect for her, and their relationship transforms from adversaries to lovers.

Goblin & Touch Your Heart Show Lee Dong-Wook And Yoo In-Na’s Have Great Chemistry

Lee Dong-Wook & Yoo In-na’s Next Collaboration Shouldn’t Be A Romantic K-Drama

In the realm of K-dramas, several actors have worked together on multiple productions, but Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na truly shine due to their exceptional chemistry. They played a supporting couple in “Goblin,” yet their interaction left an indelible mark. Consequently, it’s no wonder that three years later, these gifted performers found themselves united once more in “Touch Your Heart,” this time taking the lead roles.

The pairing of Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na is harmonious, as shown in their two dramas. In “Goblin,” Kim Sun’s cheerful demeanor meshes perfectly with Wang Yeo’s somber character, and this compatibility extends to their roles in “Touch Your Heart.” Although they excel in romantic Korean series, it would be fascinating to witness them working together in a different genre someday.

How Touch Your Heart’s Romance Is Different From Goblin

Goblin Is A Fantasy Korean TV Show

In the realm of heartwarming K-dramas, both “Goblin” and “Touch Your Heart” captivate audiences with unique romantic narratives. As a supporter, I find it intriguing that the love stories between Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na differ significantly in these two series. In “Goblin,” my favorite character, Lee Dong-wook, plays a grim reaper, which sets up an extraordinary, forbidden relationship with Yoo In-na’s human character, Kim Sun. Unlike the instant connection between them in “Goblin,” their romance in “Touch Your Heart” develops gradually, as Yoon-seo and Jung-rok take time to cultivate feelings for each other before their love blossoms.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d put it this way: “In the realm of workplace romances, devoid of any fantasy, there’s ‘Touch Your Heart.’ At first, our protagonists, Jung-rok and Yoon-seo, clash due to their contrasting natures. Yet, as they delve deeper into each other’s lives, their bond begins to transform. Although it might seem different from the captivating series ‘Goblin,’ both shows share intricate characters, a heartwarming love story, and thoughtfully crafted subplots that keep you entertained.
