Actor Jin Gu finally shines like a bright sun.

It has been double happiness for actor Jin Gu this year. First it was the birth of his daughter of 9 months and now the actor is finally receiving high popularity in his career.

It all started in 2003 SBS's drama All In where Jin Gu was the teen-child actor for adult version of Lee Byung Hun. Jin Gu was then the teen-actor in the series for the start playing against actress Han Ji Min who was the younger version of Song Hae Gyo.

Jin Gu is clearly enjoying popularity from the ongoing SBS drama Descendants of the Sun written by Kim Eun Sook. The casts from the drama was magnificent and some were saying the roles the actors have played seem so real. The emotions the actors and actresses have poured out were extraordinary especially shot in overseas such as Greece. Though the drama was 100% pre-production but Jin Gu is confident that his upcoming movie 'One Line' is going to be a mega hit as well. He just laughs at it.

'All In' was a super hit drama and the actor could feel it after launching his newly account on Instagram, he has received great response and massive followers.
During a basketball event, he has been receiving lots of support and love from fans. Many photos were taken at the event. The funniest thing he mentioned was surfing the Net. When one tries to look up keyword in the website, the name Jin Gu - the first thing was Busan Jin Gu, second was actor Yeo Jin Goo. Well thanks to Descendants of the Suns, many articles containing Jin Gu just surfaced out.

Jin Gu plays Sergeant Seo Dae Young under the command of Captain Yoo Shi Jin played by Song Joong Ki in the elite Alpha Team. Dae Young and Shi Jin were great comrades but at the same time a triangle relationship starts to form when a General's daughter Lieutenant Yoon Myeong Ju falls for Dae Young but his father wants Shi Jin as his son in law.

Dae Young is careful not to stir trouble maintaining good friendship with Shi Jin while obeying the orders from the General not to hang around Myeong Ju. In reality does the character Seo Dae Young have the similarities with the actor himself? Many say that they both are the same. And how long do they need to train to play the roles so well?
Jin Gu mentioned he was calm while serving the army and he saluted many times so it was like a textbook while doing a lot of Army Rangers exercises.

He pointed out Song Joong Ki was fresh out from army and he was exercising so much for the role. In fact Song's image was quite different that he has expected. The first time meeting Song, Jin Gu felt he was a warm, sincere and nice bloke. Though Song is 5 years younger than Jin Gu, but it seems Song has excelled in leadership. Ha ha!

Coming back to the star crossed lovers- Kim Ji Won who is playing opposite Jin Gu is definitely very young compared to him. He admits the huge gap comes handy especially he's a married man and he helped supported her role. In fact the story is well led and written. Especially when scenes have to re-shoot and it was night time freezing away, they just have the crew to blame on. But then again the casts depended on each other. How will the Gu-Won couple romance go ahead? We will have to see that later... the ending? The actor just said he's satisfied with the ending.

Due to the filming overseas, Jin Gu had to leave his wife and kid behind for months. He missed them and felt sorry for the first time as parent. And his wife was initially a fan of Song Joong Ki but is happily supporting her husband. 

It has been 14 years since Jin Gu was with the same agency. Rather than meeting new people, he prefers to know people better and understand them more.
Just like the role Seo Dae Young, the actor himself has finally reached peak of his career.
