Boys Over Flowers (2009)
Just like most K-Drama enthusiasts, you might’ve discovered Kim Bum in his role as So Yi-jung, one of the F4 members on the very iconic Boys Over Flowers. His charming and smooth-talking character made everyone swoon!
Tale of the Nine Tailed (2020, 2023)
Kim Bum's first drama after his military service was 'Tale of the Nine Tailed', a fantasy gumiho drama in which he co-starred with Lee Dong Wook and Jo Bo-ah. He portrayed the character of Lee Rang, a half-blood gumiho who sought revenge on his brother by purposefully harming humans. While he might have seemed like a heartless brother on the surface, he is indeed a lonely and caring fox at heart!
