I just finished watching Goblin 👹 for the umpteenth time (it’s my favorite). I like to rewatch it around the holidays. LDW is so good in that drama. Even though he played a supporting role, I think that it may still be the role that he’s remembered most for IMHO. He and Gong Yoo are legendary in Goblin. No one else could have made it what it is today other than those two men together with the female lead that was cast. Brilliant!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
