[ENG SUB] Goblin Director's Cut - Gong Yoo and Kim Go-eun Shin-Tak Couple Commentary

It's been a while—feels tough doesn't it That joke just came to mind That uniform looks nice It's been a tough day huh Oh this one People were crowding in so much that focus was impossible People said they'd bring umbrellas for the ad but this —when Eun-taek covers her with an umbrella by the sea— Even then you cover your face and suddenly it all comes out You've created a new scene that rivals the legendary umbrella moment filmed by Kang Dong-won Director That's how you both performed really Even though it was really tough to shoot with so many people around it was our first day filming in Canada What That performance was surprisingly good—I was completely shocked it was so unexpected and adorable The tired goblin looks even more menacing and harsh as if he's overdoing the exhausted performance That's exactly how I felt at that moment What I look forward to next after a good smoke They’re the ones setting up our team’s structure but in reality when I actually looked over there I saw that sign in the park area was yellow It's really strange—when I asked what it was they said it was a fairy sighting area kind of jokingly The park has been rumored to be haunted by fairies so be careful—when I showed that to the author I melted it down and made the necessary adjustments The famous Kingkabel appeared And what exactly is this why does it look so cool like this You're right isn't that so Even if you spend a lot of money it still doesn't work I wouldn't have known Kim Go-eun was such a cute person if she hadn't acted It's cute that's for sure I was absolutely shocked when I played a high school student Actually now that I'm working alongside Kim Go-eun in person like this When you observe those aspects from the side it actually makes you want to perform in all sorts of ways The genuine clarity and purity that Kim Go-eun actually possesses which she brought to her portrayal of a high school student Isn't someone pretending to be too young You could say things like that couldn't you But when I act while watching Kim Go-eun right beside me while also keeping an eye on Eun-taek it feels completely different When acting like this there are times when you end up projecting your own image When you realize that you understand this isn't an actress pretending to be young or deliberately trying to look pretty— Don't go out of your way to look pretty That's exactly what makes Kim Go-eun so charming and admirable This is why misunderstandings can endlessly multiply simply because people view things from different perspectives It was a bit unfortunate I wish she'd at least tried to look pretty This isn't about giving it your all to light a candle and stare at it—turning into a balloon with a face like that She did her best to look as beautiful as possible an actress who doesn't know how to appear pretty braving her embarrassment It feels really natural when exchanging messages like that To be honest though I'm speaking after the fact if it were someone other than Kim Go- eun another Kim Go-eun with a somewhat different personality it would be quite different If the actress had played Kim Go-eun's role then Eun-tak would have played the part I don't think it'll work out very well I can't imagine Seontak being anything other than who he is now—truly this time around while editing the DVD I'm feeling it all over again especially the early scenes which are even more impactful than the later ones A feeling of refreshing clarity so uplifting and cheerful It's as if the expression perfectly captures the goblin's feelings upon seeing a high school girl Isn't he the kind of actor who becomes more captivating the more you watch him That's my thought though perhaps he's simply a more divine performer There were many things discussed during production but there are a lot of female artist tracks here The next lucky male actor is none other than Han Na-wook I've heard you're supposed to be waiting with your ticket number now don't pick too many it's not a good idea And just between us I' d kill someone like him Of course Again If a good opportunity comes up with Miss Go Eun in the movie Could you please help me a bit Me Should I do it I don 't have the strength That scene was packed with so much dialogue—we had huge amounts of lines to deliver and receive—so many takes were shot that the director ultimately decided not to use it It was wonderful—I felt so moved after seeing it Are these people actually acting this well pretending I'm not here We're not like that but Director always says things like that When you're not in the shot the editing room makes you look so good that you might as well not show up on set It's not just that it's unnecessary to show up at all there's a moment that truly moves me making me feel I must try even harder—it's a beautiful scene I was just pretending to be grown- up when Dad wasn’t around—this this— To be clear umbrella ads haven't come in yet Are there umbrella ads Did you see Mr Park Ji-hoon's Instagram a few days ago I'm holding an advertising sign event and although you usually don 't pay attention to society you watched the live stream that day But a few days ago she posted on Instagram about going to this place with her children My daughter and I are wearing the red scarf that Intaek made and your husband is announcer isn't he My husband is holding their son umbrella in hand and the scene was so beautiful—the painting was breathtaking It seems we might be in some danger now The waves are quite strong so you should be careful It won't be too dangerous when we're filming but I was so incredibly beautiful—so much so it felt like fate Right in the middle of those crashing waves Yuntaek must have felt terrified— just like the scene from episode one— though actually he wasn’t scared back then The weather was a bit unpredictable which is exactly why it's all captured here I thought it was really cool watching the waves crash in The actors probably didn't see each other either When I saw the full shot the waves were incredibly strong and viewers added their own meaning to it This is the intended masterpiece How many scenes in now The scene the director is referring to where the actor watches himself perform and feels satisfied—well honestly where else would you find an actor like that Personally this scene left me with less regret than others—I found it absolutely chilling When I first read the script I thought it would have a slightly lyrical tone and be somewhat heartwarming It hurt so much emotionally I have to draw this sword You're beautiful now aren't you You're not pretty anymore are you Could this be it Why does the fairy tale I'm really shaken up today Why I should feel good seeing a goblin but instead I'm so unsettled feeling lonely and deeply unsettled But when we look at it together it just seems even worse Let's just put it off until later When the time comes that you actually need a broom then you'll understand why you're asking If I laughed at this situation right now I'd be the crazy one Well then next Today I'm not talking about anything—just laughing with you From an actor's perspective it's stressful before filming but afterward there's a sense that something has actually been expressed and those moments when you finally feel relieved That scene had a certain quality to it and when the director said how wonderful it was back then you could still feel the exhilaration of that moment The moment someone truly understood what I was trying to express—the feelings I had—became an immense source of comfort This scene was a bit like that but it stays with me I thought I was the only one who felt that way but after the broadcast viewers seemed to really enjoy it— calling it "Alcohol Ghost" was such a hit What did you say A drunk ghost Drunkie ghost Is it a drunk ghost or a booze ghost Moments like that You're so good at catching it that it's almost effortless We actually played around like that in person and it just clicked—we really hit it off it was so funny NG I was just laughing so hard because Yutak's acting like that was so cute and funny it just burst out of me There's a scene kind of ambiguous whether it's a director's cut or not that Eun-taek usually does Looking so similar that it's almost like trying to sneak over the fence like Kim Go-eun 's snake crawling over a wall Even I don't know what's so funny Doing your best to carry on somehow until the haircut comes is the right attitude really giving it your all until then Whether the lines were wrong or not he took away the other actor's lines I still gave it my all until the very end but there were so many times I stood up from my chair only to cut it short and mess up So I ended up going all the way to NG even though I got caught the whole time and I was just about to buy some milk but instead I ended up buying a lottery ticket You always know this guy don't you So even though you used him you still couldn't get it Is that it You couldn't buy it without Grandma knowing couldn't you You shouldn't be in business not when you used to run a karaoke salon and wigs and such didn't you Wearing a wig and doing things like that before but now just showing up with a hat—this was during the shoot back then Mr Ko's parents have arrived Was this Incheon Incheon They live nearby You came all the way to see Mr Go and cheer him on yet you were the most shy of all even though you shook hands when you arrived I saw Eun-ah's real older brother too or rather even calling him that he's still much younger than me but this guy is like a brother to me No no—that's not what I meant It's not that your face looks old It's just that you seem so much more put together now and you don't look anything like you used to We don't look alike That really annoying goblin showed up I saw this yesterday I was laughing to myself when I saw it You really know how to play jokes I really hate it when you pull such big pranks It's neck and neck You didn’t just play a joke on me by pretending to be mad did you You actually pretended to be mad at me You played a joke on me by acting mad when you weren’t even mad to begin with You left it to me right Yeah yeah I thought you were spraying mist If you're unhappy just say so instead of sulking You've expressed your dissatisfaction quite well sir—it seems you think I'm not the bride right now but let' s not jump to conclusions so hastily You'll end up deeply regretting it later really—she's the bride so why does she just appear but never actually let you hold her Every moment spent with me was dazzling you said—just a little dazzling really—nothing that showed up but I’d know if I saw it you said Oh really I had no idea at all The time spent with me was dazzling so I guess you're just pouring a bit of emotion into that point making it feel significant—just letting it go like that Ms Go had been going through a tough time She didn’t expect him to shout so loudly And then suddenly Keep holding on to yourself—too funny You were laughing you were laughing—you really did laugh It was such a fun scene— seeing my own movie played out like a drama and reacting to it something I’d never get to experience in real life I never thought I'd be writing a movie script— even though it's written in the script I figured it wouldn't work— it's your instinct Well not to mention that too and also the steel photograph taken from my spy that was used on the gravestone That's what I found most impressive—truly it doesn't seem like something an actor would easily experience and given that I can imagine they must have lived through that era themselves That's true—last year felt like a real rollercoaster for me ending with a ghost story truly a wildly unpredictable time I hope you have another big success this year Thank you Please consider advancing Hanjeol's project In my opinion director you're most likely to take the first step on this Isn't that right They say the author will do it again with them but not this year If the opportunity arises That's shameless Shameless When acting she seems incredibly bold but in real life she 's so shy—really shy Karaoke is really cool but even at karaoke there's still a bit of shyness at first The more it becomes a pop song the more it tends to get lively like this Taking the medicine called beer makes magic happen so after today let's go see the magic—can't wait I sometimes think about it Honestly it's like pouring blood from a fresh wound Overly restrained in its emotional expression the drama's content deliberately avoids overly dramatic or technically perfect singing instead opting for simple heartfelt performances that match the characters' emotions The reporter didn't showcase her vocal talent as if deliberately drawing attention to it instead she whispered softly half voice half breath skillfully using echo to enhance the effect Even though I heard it the truth is I was actually the one who listened the best there's a backstory you had to have heard it to understand they even staged something like that I don't have much experience so it's especially difficult for me Lifting a woman like that is usually done before tossing her onto the bed on the first night of a honeymoon after getting married The groom was showing off but since he had no experience he wouldn't know until his first night—when would that be He'd just been practicing It wasn't easy really I must have gained a bit of weight I'm sorry I'm sorry this friend here and it was really shot completely haphazardly When shooting at Yongpyong I hardly remember anything because the staff had to go into places I couldn't access That persistent cough just won't go away When you're sic Come here I've been waiting for you Who came early Who I had to light the candle and come I should have come straight there They should be right in front of me yet they act so spoiled and throw such tantrums knowing full well what they' re doing—why do they behave like this Why are you doing that I don't know I'm not the one doing it If I like something I just say so Seriously at this moment it's as if a blizzard has blown straight into Kim Go-eun's mouth How was the snow at Yongpyong It was incredibly refreshing—truly felt like an extreme job The blowing snow is getting into my mouth and nose stinging as it hits my face—it's extremely harsh but in any case I keep shooting until the very end because I keep acting until the very end because that's what you told me to do remember You took a selfie didn't you Since it's been so hard at least leave behind a smiling selfie the world's happiest expression after it's all over you were happy weren't you you looked beautiful He specifically asked me to tell them he had given it over in person but since they kept asking so insistently for the student's name I had no choice but to give it to them I asked and he kept saying his own name—wonder if that’d be a good college acceptance and enrollment gift This cute thing —would that be okay What's so special about a hundred anyway Well honestly there was just something a bit more lighthearted a bit comedic about it—something that made the hundred mean something different to a girl especially a high school student Now that you're becoming an adult there's something symbolic isn 't there That suitcase So why did you just give it at first but now you 're lending it How can people's hearts change so much I'm the actor who plays sharing I had no idea the actor could convey such a wide range of expressions—truly those basic emotions like joy anger sorrow and happiness yet within them there was such playful charm It was very serious at first but later we'll put it on DVD—right in the middle of shooting the palace scenes when were still filming the historical drama sequences Later a photo came in—she ended up taking a picture of her butt Yeah that's exactly it I ended up shooting it so quickly without checking the monitor that I accidentally snapped a silly shot Those scenes where they kept stumbling around were really fun to shoot—they were hilarious honestly When the timing doesn't sync up it can feel really awkward—both of them seem to really enjoy that kind of rhythm and appear to have done extensive research on it kind of like a Korean drama The slapstick found in Korean films—slapstick and screwball comedy that sort of thing—means Continuing to stir and mix within it the elements that connect to some extent what Kim Shin already possesses There are burdens you simply can't help but carry and because we managed to build them well from the start—thankfully —we've always been able to handle them I always wonder if it's too over-the-top when shooting a comedic scene so I ask the director The way the director handled those aspects seemed just right which is exactly why we always emphasized staying true to the script If I stay true to every scene will it be okay I'm not adjusting anything—my sister is 14 years old I'm my sister 14 years old I never knew I'd be able to laugh like that while doing it Crazy guy—unexpected performances like that are so enjoyable it's easy for things to spiral out of control isn't it Even those heart-pounding moments It was as if it hadn't happened at all but then you'd finish what you needed to do and things would get dangerously close and the viewers they You let it slide so kindly—maybe that’s why it felt so enjoyable —absolutely adorable wasn’t it Did the dancing part come out Since there's another version now that we're at it does Miss Kim Go-eun usually move like that in such odd ways A bit like a Japanese manga That's done on purpose to be funny you know what I mean Using your body so well just to make people happy with the hope that everyone will laugh Kim Go-eun is the definition of swag I think so too we all tried to copy her and Dong-wook too A simple compliment goes a long way — it's not that hard for men either A single word can sometimes make a woman dance Why don't you do it I can't manage it That's the whole point of acting I really can't do it in real life In real life when someone says sweet cute things in a drama it feels like it actually happens As beautifully as a song lyric appearing gracefully and endearingly At that moment my back view was me having played the solo role all along People recognizing my silhouette attaching great significance to it wondering how they knew—everyone already knows There's something else to it You've been thinking a lot along those lines In reality we didn't mean anything by it just that there was no guest appearing Left in a hurry but We were running off to change clothes whenever we switched filming locations didn't we Afterward they must have sprinted wildly toward the car That was featured in our making wasn't it Acting as if they knew each other they rehearsed adjusting the camera position walking side by side in a clumsy staggered pace I think were adjusting the angle back then—right when we needed to change the camera position the most It'll take time so we'll move quickly to get it done Behind it was somewhat amusing just like Mr Dongwoo too Three-shot four-shot when multiple actors appear to shoot the scene as quickly as possible everyone It was really fun trying to twist my brain around ways to cut the number of cuts without compromising the content The funniest part was running around while changing clothes in the set I couldn't stop laughing even though I was told not to run in case I fell I couldn't get the necklace on it was so hard it was really tough and men' s hands are bigger anyway That hole is like the eye of a needle so he kept holding onto it constantly Better to just use a pistol—it'd be quicker One of my favorite words is fate We shot this as the opening scene That's right the very first scene The hand shows 5 210 won rounded up You know it makes your heart race don't you What kind of money are you paying back in such a cramped narrow place using that money to pay our boss It doesn’t look like it’s falling much does it It’s been dropped quite a bit already Was there a deliberate intent I won't say a word Just stare at the camera It's just a cry for help but what if they all end up getting kilos I was actually laughing so hard Even thirty-five would be something to be grateful for but you've gone way too far Hair loss worsened over time becoming even more difficult and when love begins it's said to last 39 months—fans keep asking where exactly is the thirtieth-nine Thirty-nine months old isn't he a baby How are the babies Good I like my age Getting to that age Overall Sometimes the character is like an adult at other times like a grandfather who's been through it all As one grows older the expression a performer conveys seems to broaden rather than change in any other way It seemed like a great opportunity for me—being able to relax and try all sorts of things knowing that whatever I did would be forgiven Speaking of which I just wanted to mention Recently I did a film commentary right around here with veteran actor Song Kang-ho and it was great to see him again after such a long time I went to meet everyone but it turned out everyone was talking about goblins yet among the comments That must have been recorded Something from the undercover agent perhaps energy or good vibes received from前辈 Song Kang-ho or Director Kim Ji-hoo Why is the goblin about to be fully released and why are you asking me A slightly resentful joke between the two of you teasingly That's what I meant—thanks to being a spy those were the times I learned so much and because of that I think I gained confidence too I went to the goblin and figured it all out—Mr Gong but something definitely changed since I left the goblin It felt like such a meaningful opportunity and although all the previous works I'd done were precious to me in the end The work that received significantly more attention from me compared to my other pieces after all It was tough but it felt like a great opportunity to freely try out all sorts of things it's impressive how you've made it seem so extraordinary Honestly I didn't realize I'd be able to see such a wide-ranging performance like this Of course I expected it but it seems the author has done extensive research and the parts we discussed Her personality is also well reflected in the dialogue and mannerisms I think it was a bit too intense but I cut it short—my heart was heavy Next is Seo Hyung-sung He felt oddly embarrassed by that Go-eun quietly Extremely difficult You have to do this kind of thing a lot to get good at it LoKo It was so cringey wasn't it You can see the look of concentration can't you In a way for instance aren't scenes like this harder than kissing scenes Eye tracking It's better to play around than to be serious That’s actually hilarious I don’t know what to do about it I was also shy about this I was worried I might hurt my hand It's not something done exactly as planned At that moment In a way somewhat They were impromptu performances weren't they What was a bit disappointing was when Eun-taek hung on and kissed her acting like she didn't want to at first yet still going along with it I kept wondering what if I'd just turned my head and spoken straight to her Because we shot the scene too spontaneously afterward not knowing what to do I just focused one thing Plant a kiss on her cheek while hanging on when you're about to do it again pretend not to and turn your head away Once I had it perfectly fitted I couldn't help but wonder how much more beautiful it might have looked on someone else A close friend of mine after seeing this scene said it made them rethink their entire perspective on the director's staging It disappeared from the angle but I came back in again What if one of the camera crew did that So let's talk about it seriously It's something that's never appeared in a drama apparently—this acquaintance of mine who isn't actually involved in this field but is just exceptionally skilled at analyzing and understanding such works Someone who truly understands and who speaks so clearly and precisely especially about acting and who does so with such clarity and insight when talking to me I was a bit surprised when I saw that shot our crew said it was a type of angle rarely used in the drama It's great to meet a good step when suddenly you're pulled out of that angle and then abruptly back in and when you kiss people know exactly what I mean Never expected it not even when Euntak was born Even when you catch it well and act on it it's usually difficult to get precisely to the target especially when you're aiming so specifically Because you had to approach slowly but if you rushed in it would have been hard to find Succeed three times in a row It's instinct Usually it's just like this It keeps bumping into things because Ms Go's lips are so full You're welcome Did Ms Go really like the second tech segment She enjoys appearing on the broadcast What's so fun about this is that both the director and the cinematographer are two gentlemen You know how it is when filming a kiss scene Afterward everyone went wild—totally chaotic I didn’t realize it at the time but since I was acting alongside them I just didn’t notice I didn’t realize it when I was looking at the monitor In Canada it was like that—she'd done the whole performance herself then watched it on monitor and got so shocked it was almost too bold You act love so convincingly That's why the look in his eyes I had so much fun in Canada when we filmed this date scene in Canada speaking politely as if creating another masterpiece The sensation of being photographed It felt like something out of a romance drama Honestly I didn't fully understand those feelings We figured it out while breathing in sync shot by shot It feels just like a real date especially since we're abroad and all This was the final scene of the day so if we just leave like this we can head straight home So he pulled it out as much as possible and went straight home excited okay right away the kiss was skipped where I'll edit it separately and give it to you in a fun way Haven't you eaten yet If not let's eat together Under the narrow blanket inside the blanke You're so slow just move already Why are you doing this How did you find it Wearing innocence and feeling each other's tastes it's cold so No seriously it was really fun but this wasn't supposed to be shot like this originally but when we filmed the previous scene Once it's shot that way it feels like we need to maintain the rhythm and tone but the previous scene was handled by someone else with a different approach Behind them seeing everything acting like a fool foolishly Even if it seems foolish when you look at someone you truly love they truly become adorable It was absolutely beautiful wasn't it Actually in a way this could be considered a typical clichéd moment—scenes like these featuring brides in wedding dresses— Seeing the woman he loves a man's possible reaction I've done this before several times in other dramas but The smoke came out incredibly naturally and the way I looked in that dress was just too beautiful I told you it's an incredibly expensive dress didn't I I don't know I don't care about stuff like that Your mouth must be splitting open right It's stuck in your ear Isn't this edit incredibly moving It felt like that even when I took the photo back then my girlfriend looking like this or A married wife writing like this The truth is what handwritten letters bring You know nowadays the world has changed so much Even though we don't write letters like we used to it's still possible to deeply move someone you care about without much effort It felt like the most wonderful gift—though it was just an act the message itself and the handwritten letter all made me feel so good Later when you actually receive something like this in the future you'll be so happy—apparently you're learning a lot of acting skills from this drama Wishing you good fortune hoping it can be put to use through the tumultuous journey of the fated couple until the very end Thank you once again for your kindness and for treating me so well as I mentioned earlier the role of Ji Eun-ta No other actor could possibly imagine such a thing Kim Go-eun was Jee Eun-taek and Jee Eun-taek was Kim Go -eun and being able to act alongside her drawing so much inspiration from her was truly a gift Once again I just want to say thank you the goblin has ended the destiny couple is somewhere happily They're still loving each other tenderly and living happily together and in another work I hope you'll give Kim Go-eun all the support you can to deliver an outstanding performance Please cheer for me too Thank you I'm so happy to be Gong Yun-sun I need to talk a bit seriously Talking with a smile makes you seem like a shaman I am truly grateful for the opportunity to act alongside Gong Yun-sun and I'm especially thankful for the chance to share such a natural chemistry with her It was an honor and truly meaningful to act together You know things like that exist —feeling like this could fit so perfectly it gave me such a strong sense of connection It's clear from the way they looked together that people often said they made a perfect match and I think that's exactly why the oracle couple was so beloved Watching the video again brought back so many memories Anyway I'm so so grateful How should we wrap it up Maybe just a simple greeting will do Thank you No not at that time In Canada when greeting after making something in Canada
