'Gwigung' is a fantasy romance historical drama about the confrontation between Yeori (Kim Ji-yeon), a shaman who rejects the fate of Young-mae, Lee Ji-won (Kim Ji-yeon), and her first love Yun Gap (Yook Sung-jae), and the octogenarian who has a grudge against the royal family. It is receiving a hot response due to its thrilling narrative and explosive character digestibility of Yook Sung-jae, Kim Ji-yeon, and Kim Ji-hoon.
In the most recent episode 12, Yoon Gap's soul vomited from the octopuses, a key twist unfolded, and the scene in which Kang Chul-i, Yeo-ri and Lee Jung approached the identity of the octopuses was the ending, raising the level of immersion.
Above all, the actors' passionate performance has become the centerpiece of the box office success of 'Guigung'. In particular, the villainous performances of Kim Sang-ho (played by Poongsan) and Son Byeong-ho (played by Kim Bong-in) were strong enough to cause goosebumps. Son Byung-ho showed his unwavering ambition despite Kim Ji-hoon's tears, creating a cold laugh, and Kim Sang-ho overwhelmed viewers with a scene in which he committed murder by being possessed by his arms.
On the contrary, Cha Chung-hwa (played by Young-geum) and Kim In-kwon (played by Kim Eung-soon) balanced the narrative by conveying their emotions as helpers to awaken human affection to Lee Weapon Kang Cheol-yi. Their tantalizing acting added warmth to the drama by moving between tension and warmth.
Lee Won-jong (played by Monk Gaseob) and Gu In-sang (played by Choi Won-woo) made a strong impression with their three-dimensional acting that worried about their younger brother Kang-eun while being a god.
Gil Hae-yeon, Han Soo-yeon, Han So-eun, Shin Seul-ki, Song Soo-i, Ki Eun-soo, Park Jae-joon, and Park Da-on are also maximizing their immersion by crossing the boundaries between humans and rare objects.
