From office workers with massagers to neat CPs, Kim Gun-ho's

Actor Kim Gun-ho is breathing life into the drama as a broadcasting station CP (Chief Producer) in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Dream to You’. In episodes 1 to 3, which aired on the 13th, 14th, and 20th, he imprinted his presence on living rooms by simultaneously embodying the professionalism of an organizational leader and the realistic daily life of an office worker.

In this work, written by Eunha, directed by Yu Seon-dong, and co-produced by KT Studio Genie and Content Planner, Kim Gun-ho took on the role of a CP who makes sharp judgments and leads the organization. He did not stop at being merely an authoritative boss, but instead infused his acting with detailed settings that real-life office workers could relate to. Reactions have noted that his portrayal—showing professionalism in a neat jacket, yet naturally leading situations with a massager on his shoulders or loosening his tie at a company dinner—has significantly heightened the realism of the drama.

Solid Acting Skills Built from 'Death's Game' to 'Trigger'

Kim Gun-ho's stable acting skills stem from the spectrum he has built through various works.

Recently, he has steadily expanded his filmography by appearing in Disney+ ‘Trigger’ and ENA ‘UDT: Our Neighborhood Special Forces’. In addition, he has made himself known to viewers by playing diverse roles in works such as ‘Mask Girl’ and ‘Unstoppable’.

His performance in ‘Dream to You’ is also a result of his accumulated acting assets. Based on a calm breath and restrained acting tone, Kim Gun-ho persuasively depicted the broadcasting station ecosystem, meticulously portraying both the weight required of an organizational leader and the human side of an office worker. In particular, the detailed visual and acting styling reflecting the internal dynamics of the broadcasting station served as an element that allowed viewers to naturally immerse themselves in the drama.

Character Digestion Proven Through a Realistic Character

The performance Kim Gun-ho showed this time went beyond simple role execution, delivering a vividness that felt as if the actual atmosphere of a broadcasting station had been transported.
