Today, the name Kim Beom is no doubt a driving force in the industry as the famous actor has been one of the global sensations which have come out from the Industry in the last decade. Known for his unaging beauty and ever-increasing talents, the famous actor continues to steal hearts with his quality charms and talents, drawing more attention to his works and earning great acclaim and success for them as well.
While he made his drama debut in 2006, he saw an impressive rise in popularity thanks to his role as the dreamy So YiJung in the hit drama series "Boy Over Flowers" in 2009. Since then, we would rightly say he has been on a steady rise in popularity as he takes on expressive roles which have given him the opportunity to showcase his versatility as an actor. Having watched a host of his dramas, with his roles, Kim Beom has the innate ability to fully immerse himself into his character, portraying them in such a way that we are not just engrossed in their story but ultimately find ourselves rooting for them in their story, even the ones that are evil and villainy.
In the last 3 years, he has been one of the top names dominating the industry as his works have been well received by global fans. Starring in hit projects like "Tale of The Nine-Tailed", "Law School", "Ghost Doctor" and more recently "Tale of The Nine-Tailed: 1938", Kim Beom has been able to treat a host of global fans with his outstanding acting skills as he portrays these characters that have become a favorite amongst fans.
With the conclusion of his recent drama "Tale of the Nine-Tailed: 1938" earlier this month, we had a moment of curiosity as looking at Kim Beom's impressive filmography, we began to think of roles we would love to see him star in next. Here are some of our picks.
1. A villain in a thriller drama
Many fans would know that Kim Beom has played the villain character in "Mrs. Cop 2". Cunning, deceptive, and willing to do anything to retain his power and achieve his plans, his character as CEO Lee RoJoon still ranks as a favorite amongst many fans as his delivery was immersive. That's why we would love to see him play a darker role again. A psychological thriller drama where he plays the role of the unsuspecting villain who keeps everyone on their turns and introduces various thrilling and suspenseful twists would be an interesting option for him.
2. A quirky aromatic boss in an office rom-com drama
We need rom-com Kim Beom to make a comeback and this time in an office setting. With his filmography, Kim Beom has been known to deliver amazing and entertaining performances in the emotional spectrum. And a funny office rom-com drama is no doubt within his wheelhouse. A cute love story where he plays the role of a quirky boss who takes on every task and delivers his job well but is not as communicative with his team, which makes them misunderstand him as someone cold and distant. But things change when a fearless intern comes to work with the company and falls in love with him.
3. One half of a mature couple in a slice-of-life BL drama
The Korean BL genre is becoming very popular not just for fans but for actors as well. While the genre is mainly dominated by rookie or rising actors, we have seen many famous actors play roles in LGBT-themed movies or short films before. One thing many fans would notice is that when it comes to having amazing chemistry with his co-stars, Kim Beom has this quality on lock and always delivers to perfection. His chemistry with his male co-stars, even though they've not been romantic so far, is just as beautiful as it is adorable and endearing to watch.
As an actor dedicated to his craft, we can very well see Kim Beom starring in a BL drama, perhaps a cute and fluffy slice-of-life drama that shows the dynamics of two adults at different stages in their lives who are bounded by their growing affection for each other, as they explore the context of happiness and love and what it truly means in today's society.
