Kim Nam-gil goofs off on set of Bad Guy
by | June 8, 2010 | 53 Comments

It’s kind of hilarious to see the goofy side of Kim Nam-gil coming out on the set of his drama Bad Guy, since it’s a thriller-melodrama with a darker edge. These photos make up a sort of “before and after” set with the first image showing Kim in character as the bad guy out for blood and revenge, and the second showing off his lighter side.

I remember thinking Kim had a dry sense of humor back in Lovers (when he was acting under the name Lee Han), and his Bi-dam character in Queen Seon-deok had a brash, funny side as well. Makes me wonder how he’d do in a straight comedy…

    Haha! i love him so much! After seeing him in more serious roles i really want to see him act in a comedy!! Especially after seeing these pictures hehe ^.^
    he’s a great actor too :) i haven’t gotten the chance to watch Bad Guy yet but i definitely will later on…i still need to finish Cinderella’s Sister (i kind of lost my love for the drama in the middle of the drama though…i miss the teenage years in the drama). Dong Yi is pretty good too ^.~

    aaaahhh love Kim Nam-Gil he’s so sexy and cute :D it’s nice to see his goofy side on such a serious drama.

  9. Belva

    Love him to bits and pieces and torn little diamonds <33
    Can't wait to see him in other roles especially a comedy, sad that he's gonna enlist in military service real soon. How am I suppose to survive the 2 years w/o him T___T

  11. 11 HoneyCo

    hahaha!!!

    it’s refreshing to see these photos… i mean, he’s all different when the camera’s rolling…

    he should show off those goofy side of him a lot more… i absolutely fell in love with him in Lovers… his smile rocks!!!

  12. 12 Liesel

    does no one remember him as geum soon’s (han hye jin’s) deceased husband in be strong geum soon?? he was such a sweetie there, innocent and naive. i’m so surprised that his image nowadays is suave, sexy and a little bit dangerous, because he was just so… cute back in BSGS. and then he was replaced by ajusshhi (kang ji hwan) in geum-soon’s heart, and i all but completely forgot about him. well that is, until now. lol.

  13. 13 Ani - who is tired of typing out animedork101

    Love that last photo. I feel like he’s about to break out into doing the Grasshopper dance… or something of the sort. HAHAHA! XD

  14. 14 supah

    Just love him, ’nuff said.

  15. 15 natureii

    he´s adorable and lovable
    Perhaps after his 2 yr enlistment
    he´ll do a comedy….We know he´ll
    be great!

  16. 16 Ren

    If he was looking directly at the camera in the second picture, he’d be doing Blue Steel :P

  17. 17 Rykki

    Okay, I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet but… doesn’t he look a little skeevy with his new look? He has changed SO MUCH since he acted under the name Lee Han. Take a look at this picture of him http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kim_Nam_Gil.

    • 17.1 Lauureen

      yeah they look like two different people. I was a little shocked to see it because I couldn’t see any resemblance in the old look of KNG and the new look so I was like, is that him?? wait, is this another KNG? heee o.o

  18. 18 gjxsarangxx

    can’t help but love this guy :D

    @ 12 Liesel
    Woo….I remember him…I started searching when people start mentioning that he was in Guem Soon. I was like…no don’t kill of the character (he had like the guts to marry & like have a kid all at the same time…he’s the man, man) and than they gotta kill him off. I was like -.-
    Than kang ji hwan came along with his colourful ties & over-the-top liking of guem soon & all was forgotten. Until now that is…A;LL HAIL THE MOUSTACHE!

  26. 26 Keylye

    Gosh……..I really love Kim Nam Gil because I still admire him what he’s still awesome job at his acting like that ((from this drama “Bad Guy”)). Oooh, Is he able in the comedy role, huh?? OF course, I would love to see him to act so goofy and different someday AFTER this action-thriller Bad Guy drama!

  36. 36 asarako

    cant wait to see him…. making a comedy act hahahaha……….

  37. 37 william

    he ha really funny
    i think i read somewhere that he has a funny side to him
    you know he would be all serious when it comes to acting and when he is off screen
    he would just become a goof ball
    his having fun and making us laugh
    so its good to see what we dont see of actors when they are off screen
    cant wait to watch ep 4 and 5 of bad guy/bad boy etc etc
    thanks for the update dramabeans

  38. 38 Jen

    I still remember watching “Lovers” and thinking that he was a hottie. I later went back and watched all the scenes he was in just to stare at him and drool.

    As sexy as he is, it’s good to know that he’s more than just looks. He can also make me smile this big -> =D.

  39. 39 Bee

    Kim Nam Gil is one hella hot guy!!! I <3 Kim Nam Gil

  40. 40 Joshee

    Echoing #34 hosg15, can anyone tell us who he played in My Name Is Kim Sam Soon?

  41. 41 Fafa

    he is sure a brilliant actor and I feel a nice guy.

  42. 42 jenny

    To Joshee, here is the link about KNG in MNIKSS
    http://allkoreangossip.com/2010/01/kim-nam-gil-in-my-name-is-kim-sam-soon/

  43. 43 momosan

    @40 Joshee

    He was Hee Jin’s Dr friend in MNIKSS. He shows up in at least 3 episodes – episode 3 at about 11 and 1/2 minutes in; in episode 8 about at 10 minutes in and then at 11 minutes in; and then in episode 14 briefly at about 43:30 minutes in.

    Um…not that I particularly noticed ::whistles suspiciously::

    ok, really I’ve seen MNIKSS a bunch of times, and I’ve got a good memory for some things. Comes in handy at times. His character actually has a name, and if I went back and looked…probably ep 3, Hee Jin calls him by name.

  44. 44 cinderella

    After watching just a few episodes of Bad Guy, I’m kind of able to see his funny side in a few scenes… (one example is when he says “Thank you” in Japanese to Jae In’s sister)

    Totally LOVING the last pic!!
