Although most of us discovered beloved actor Kim Bum (also romanized as Kim Beom) as F4 member So Yi Jung in Boys Over Flowers, it’s rare for him to star in romantic comedies.
He is now famous as the half-human gumiho Lee Rang in “Tale of the Nine Tailed” and the brilliant student Han Joon Hwi in “Law School”. Despite his natural charm and cuteness, he prefers darker and vicious roles. Recently, we got to see Kim Bum again in a romantic comedy K-drama after so long, as he made a cameo appearance in the K-Drama “Wedding Impossible”, which recently concluded with its twelfth episode.
Just days after the episode aired, his agency, King Kong by Starship, shared a behind-the-scenes video showing Kim Bum filming his scenes. He was visibly disconcerted, not being used to this type of production. A clip of the video went viral, with over 1 million views on he responded categorically stating that he is not good at these types of roles.

Kim Bum: “I don’t think I can.” No, I think it’s easier to play the role of killing people. Why didn’t I do this for ten years? I have it again. I don’t know how to express my face. »
However, his fans couldn’t disagree with him more. They think he was actually destined to play the male lead in a romantic comedy K-drama because of his adorable smile!
