The odd roommates and seductive chicken shop owner of The Goblin
by chickachunga
The recent batch of stills for tvN’s upcoming drama The Lonely, Shining Goblin features Sunny, the glamorous chicken shop owner played by Yoo Inna (One More Happy Ending), and the first meeting between our titular goblin, Kim Shin, played by Gong Yoo (Big), and his amnesiac grim reaper roommate, Wang Yeo, played by Lee Dong-wook (Bubblegum).
The Lonely, Shining Goblin is the story of a goblin desperately seeking to end his immortality by finding himself a mortal bride, and his strange roommate situation with an amnesiac reaper. Kim Go-eun (Cheese in the Trap) plays Ji Eun-tak, the scrappy high-schooler with the fate of someone who should have died, claiming to be exactly who the goblin is looking for. Yook Sung-jae (Secret: Village of Achiara) stars as Yoo Deok-hwa, the chaebol heir whose family has been looking after the goblin for countless years.
As with all the stills that have been released thus far for Goblin, these aren’t the most telling of photos, although they do continue to show us that the cast is attractive, which frankly, we are well aware of already. No complaints on the pretty though.
Yoo Inna looks quite chic as the owner of a chicken shop called Pure Sexy. It’s an interesting name for a chicken shop, but if pure and sexy is the theme of the restaurant, then Yoo Inna is dressed perfectly. I’m not sure what pure and sexy has to do with chicken, but consider me intrigued.
In their first encounter, Lee Dong-wook the amnesiac reaper appears lost and concerned as he looks to Gong Yoo the goblin for answers. But the goblin seems visibly thrown, either by the reaper’s presence or some other matter. Perhaps this is how the goblin decides to take the reaper in. Refusing to help the guy with the sad puppy dog eyes and memory loss probably seems like the wrong way to go about things.
Written and directed by the team behind Descended From the Sun, tvN’s new fantasy drama The Lonely, Shining Goblin will air on Fridays and Saturdays beginning December 2 after The K2 ends its run.

I'd take Sad Puppy Eyes Lee Dong Wook too if he come knocking my door!
Is it strange that I'm much more interested in amnesiac reaper than the lonely, shining goblin? The reaper just looks so sad and he's amnesiac too!

"seductive chicken shop owner" LOL, that is a bit eye-catching though. Wonder if Yoo Inna has some secret motives/side jobs.
And omg! Sad Lee Dong-Wook looks so cute. ;A; Yoo Inna and LDW look like they will be a beautiful couple. *o* I sorta watch to watch this drama just for them. Gahh.

Y'know, I always pictured Yoo In-na's chicken shop owner character to have a similar appearance as her One More Happy Ending character--frizzy hair, frumpy and... an apron? I just had an image, okay? Also, I thought of Ra Mi-ran's chicken shop owner character in The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop, which is what came to mind when I read about Sunny the chicken shop owner. Based on the stills and BTS vids, the drama's concept of a chicken "shop" is much more fancier than I imagined and I don't know what to expect anymore... I mean, the character descriptions and premise is different, yet intriguing, but also slightly difficult to imagine how the story's gonna play out. I'm so glad December 2nd is nearing!

There has to be more than one grim reaper in action right?? I mean one is out of commission as he is currently AWOL with amnesia and around a seductive chicken shop owner so somebody has to fill in. I mean it has to be chaos for upper management when that happens without no backup. But boy the requirements for job application for the reaper has to have something like this included, "6 feet tall, milky flawless skin, plump pink and very kissable lips with great babysitting skills"
My weird inner monologue aside, I can't wait for this.

How to do his job is the only thing he remembers. A Grim Reaper with no social life is probably the Underworld's best employee.

So is Lee Dong Wook really short? Or is Gong Yoo really tall?
Or is it just the way it was shot? Maybe they're on steps and Gong Yoo's on a higher one?
These are questions that plague me. :)

Dong Wook is most likely standing on the stairs since as far as I know he's a bit taller then Gong Yoo.
