Kim Gab-soo cast as Cinderella’s father

Everyone’s favorite creepy dad/uncle/king/psycho killer Kim Gab-soo (Partner, Hon) is appearing in yet another high-profile drama, Cinderella’s Sister. Woot woot!

In the drama, Kim Gab-soo will play the biological father to the drama’s “Cinderella” figure (that would be Seo Woo as the kind, bullied sister) and stepfather to lead star Moon Geun-young. He’s a self-made man who built a grand makgulli (rice wine) enterprise from the ground up. He still feels guilty about having paid more attention to his work in his earlier days than he did to his wife, who has since passed away, and therefore he vows not to remarry. However, he falls for the charms of Lee Mi-sook‘s character (and what great casting for the role of Cinderella’s stepmom!) and remarries, and thus gains another daughter in Moon Geun-young.

This marks a reunion for Kim and Moon — they acted together seven years ago in the psychological thriller Tale of Two Sisters, when he played a sorrowful (but somewhat negligent) father who marries a younger, shrill “evil stepmom” type, much to the dismay of his two daughters (Moon and Im Soo-jung). In contrast to that role, in Cinderella’s Sister he worries that his stepdaughter might be hurt by the family changes and takes particular care to look after her.

Kim Gab-soo married to Lee Mi-sook as the parents of Seo Woo and Moon Geun-young, who are courted by Chun Jung-myung and Taecyeon? Oh, BRING IT ON.

Some actors have such a powerful screen presence, that you just cannot ignore them in a scene, however minor their roles might be.Kim Gab-soo is one of them.His role as a physically abusive husband in Partner was so chilling and yet scarily charismatic.Made for such fascinating viewing that even Lee Dong-wook couldn't distract me.:-)Kim Gab-soo is another actor whose eyes speak volumes just like Go-soo.

Am so looking forward to this drama, if only for MGY! She's one of my favourite actresses of that generation. And now, KGS too?! AWESOME. I've always thought he was a great actor...

@samsooki --> Me, too! That would be so awesome to see a totally new type of character from him.

@ Pongs: "Who’s already dreaming of a Prince Charming Mr Chun?" Me! Me! Even more so because I just finished Fashion 70s.

@ estel: KGS has done some kind-hearted and laid-back characters in the past and he was good in these roles too. I'm just curious how this role would be different from the dad character he played in A Tale of Two Sisters.

Hey guys, could this team make something remotely sane if the writers and PD from My Fair Lady showed up at Cinderalla Unni and ran the show? I would pay money to see that! Kidding, please make a worthy script for these beyond fantastic actors!

"Some actors have such a powerful screen presence, that you just cannot ignore them in a scene, however minor their roles might be.Kim Gab-soo is one of them."

I think Kim Gab Soo is hands down the best actor working in K-drama. Need a reaction shot of man seeing his village burning down from a Mongolian horde? Need that same reaction shot against pirates? No problem -- Kim Gab Soo will give you both reaction shots, and they'll be different.

Not sure why everybody associates Kim Gab Soo with "creepy." 70% of the stuff he does, he's a total sweetheart.

I've never heard of him, being fairly new to the k-entertainment world. But his eyes are so cool - they look almost green. Are they colored contacts or natural?

"Kim Gab-soo married to Lee Mi-sook as the parents of Seo Woo and Moon Geun-young, who are courted by Chun Jung-myung and Taecyeon? Oh, BRING IT ON." My sentiments exactly!
I've only seen KGS in Tale of Two Sisters, but I thought he was quite good in that. But what's this about him creepily eating mangoes and crab as he watches Mongolian pirates burn down his village? Boy, have I been missing out!
I'm really excited about this drama though. Love MGY and SW.

Funny, I actually wanted Kim Mi Sook to play stepmother.. but she's probably just going to play the same character she did in Brilliant Legacy. She was so good!

Kim Gap Soo rawkz man. He really UPS every scene he's in, and when he's IN a scene, the rest just pale in comparison.

And my, he was MGY's father in Tale of Two Sisters? Gosh, I so can't remember. It was ages ago when I watched that movie.

This drama sure has a FINE cast - 2 DaeSang winners, 2 Rookie Award winners in past award shows. Can it get ANY BETTER?

Now I'm just rooting for the writer to bring on the script. I actually loved Piano and Robbers, so I don't think I'd be disappointed anyhow?

I'm definitely at a loss for words...can this cast get any better? The end of March really can't come fast enough! Kim Gab-soo is definitely one of the best actors in the industry...everyone else in any scene w/him just pales in comparison.

Super happy and super excited about the news! This has become my most anticipated drama of the year!

Dear JB, I second the idea of your doing a wrap on what's on offer this year. I'm losing track of all these highly anticipated dramas we are so lucky to have this year. Hope they all deliver and I HAVE the time to watch them!!
