Park Bo Gum ❤ Girl's Day Hyeri aka REPLY 1988 TAEK x DEOKSUN

[melleri]

I think they can film things, but not know how it was going to be presented. They also might film things that never make it to the episode. The kiss was presented as a possible dream, and wasn't brought up again until ep. 19.  Maybe he just wasn't sure right after.  Who knows. Plus he's just being humble and isn't going to say outright he thought he'd be the husband and when.  

 

[shyyraa]

[by Kim Hee Gyeong, translated by Woorim Ahn] 24 might be an age that is still young, but can’t be just innocent. However, Park Bo Gum, who is 24 years old, was just like a white snow trail that nobody stepped on. People can rarely see it, but it wasn’t unfamiliar or seemed like a made-up at all.  

Park Bo Gum revealed himself and Choi Taek, the character he played for tvN drama ‘Reply 1988’, through an interview with bntnews. After filming the drama, he went to Phuket and Africa, and said, “I can’t still believe the drama is over.”

The last episode of ‘Reply 1988’ reached the viewers’ percentage of 21.8% and made the highest record among cable channels. Regarding this, he added, “It’s literally an honor of my family” and revealed his appreciation.

“Actually, I didn’t know how cable channels go. I thought ‘I wish it would go well’, but I never expected this much. I’m really happy that the drama became nationwide one that received much love from the mass public.”

Park Bo Gum also disclosed respects for director Shin Won Ho that has produced ‘Reply’ series. He mentioned that the director put down his authority for actors and said, “We were happy all the time” and kept appreciating.

“I like all the directors that I’ve worked with, but Shin Won Ho was the most humorous person among them. I never saw him get mad. Moreover, he checks all the details such as arts, props, acting, singing and others. He should be tired, but he always makes kidding and gives advices to everyone, so I really liked to work on it.”

‘Reply 1988’ is evaluated as a drama having more family stories and love than the previous ones. It became one of the reasons why Park Bo Gum, who was born in 1993, could draw the background of 1988 easier.

“When I filmed the drama, my heart became warmer. Although Taek wasn’t at home, everyone gathered at his room and knew each other what they wanted without a word. Moreover, even when Taek was trying to eat at home with his father, neighbors filled up the table for his family. That’s where I could feel heartwarming sentiment of 1988. It will be great if we still can feel it now.”

Choi Taek is one of the characters that received lots of love from the audiences in ‘Reply’ series. In particular, he was a true lover, who gave up playing go that was his everything for his love, and the scene shook many fangirls’ hearts. Somehow, it might be a positive result as an actor, but Park Bo Gum was very humbled.

“I’m not sure if I did well in the drama. Honestly, if I put more time on playing go for the scenes, I could show better quality. If I get 10 points from the drama, I want to retrieve it to the director and scriptwriter that made Choi Taek.”

“Everybody becomes happy for my work, but they told me to behave more prudent and humbled as much as this. Not only my family, but also my agency people see me with objective views. When I didn’t do my work well, they point it out. Rather than giving compliments for me, those comments help me a lot more. If there weren’t those people, I wouldn’t be here.”

I love Park Bogum so much for this. He's so humble and gives credit where credit is due. He's slaying these interviews left and right.

He really is the captain of our ship!

Thank you @syaiira for sharing the translated news ♥

[tiendoank]

Hmmm.... I guess I kinda understand why people in this room "hesitate" . High expectation can lead to extreme pain and severe disappoinment  if it turns that the outcome is not what is expected. So, to avoid that excruciating pain and anger and disappoinment--> lower the expectation. And the result of the high expectation? that's exactly what happened to the other side.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

For @hafunohane and @mangachickava

Question 18: Why are you so sure DS’ first love ≠ SW? 
Answer: Why was I so sure that TK = Husband?

Altogether, the timeline + DS’ reactions + their names mean that DS' first love isn't SW.  DS’ First Love = TK. 

Haha, thanks for answering my question. It wasn't mine per se, but I can't say i never thought about it in the past  

I just wanna share HOW IMPORTANT FIRST LOVE IS TO THIS WRITER. from R1997, to 1994, to 1988... there has been one steady thing... Her entire script is an ode to first love. This is YJ's narration from ep 16 finale:

"First love. The reason everyone’s first love is beautiful is not only because the love was pretty. At the time of first love, there was a youthfulness that didn’t know how to be wise, a me who was pure to the point of cruelty, and a you whose fire I couldn’t handle. It’s because I already know that I can never go back to that youthful, innocent, passionate time.

First love is reckless. Without calculating, it throws everything in with pure passion, and inevitably fails. But that’s why it’s dramatic—the reckless tales wrapped up in experiences or feelings that you can never have again.

First love is a time. Once it passes, it’s gone. Now you have to give a new love and a new time a chance. It might not be the experience or the purity of first love, but out of that scar is a love that grows and becomes a little more mature—you have to wait for an adult love. Only those who wait can dream of love.

When romance passes, life comes. Purity gets dirtied, passion freezes over, and youth turns to shrewdness as you age. That innocent era’s first love becomes fatigued and exhausted daily routine… and is why first love appears to be something that can’t be realized. Because those who succeed at realizing their first love… don’t tell you.

Succeeding at first love is nice too. There’s comfort that’s even better than your favorite sweater, but also an excitement that you can find when you’re tired of that comfort. As childhood playmates, as first loves, as lovers, and as husband and wife, we live through the same times, share the same memories, and grow old together. A familiar excitement. It’s nice."

an ode to a character so special. someone whose first love is our homegirl DS <3

[PiggyKid]

I love how at first he also thought that JH is the husband, but then later the way Taek shows his love for DS through many scenes threw him off, he probably realized that this is what a husband/main love-interest should do. 

And i think that the writers and staff did indeed revealed the husband's indentity first and only to Hyeri in ep 15-16. Remember RJY also said in his Vapp interview he thought JH and DS will get together in ep 18, but then he received the script and got heartbroken for JH. Shin PD really knows how to keep a secret lol  

For Bogum, he didnt think about the husband hunt too much so even though he always have this feeling that Taek is the husband, he didnt want to be sure before having any concrete evidence that is very professional of him  

So Hyeri found out who the husband is in ep 15-16, RJY in ep 18, and Bogum in ep 19. Just like how DS realized her feelings for Taek was indeed love in ep 15-16, JH gave up entirely on his first love in ep 18 after making sure of DS's feelings, and how Taek found out DS loves him in ep 19  I see what you did there Shin PD, you wicked bastard

 Great strategy.

The actors only know when their characters know. This way they are never in danger of playing the end of the drama, only going from moment to moment.

[PiggyKid]

@hushhh I always thought Hyeri's question to Shin PD in ep 16 is odd. I mean isnt that something DS would ask herself in that situation? "Why cant i sleep just because Taek cancelled the date? I didnt behave this way when it comes to SW or JH, so why Taek?" 

The answer is simple though  its because she loves him, or like how shin PD gave it straight to her: " Because Taek is the husband"

Bogummy you are really fine human being. I loved him being humble and really appreciative of the opportunities Reply 1988 has bestow on him and giving credit to Shin PD and writer Lee

Was Park Bo Gum Nervous About His First Kiss Scene on “Reply 1988″?

Park Bo Gum has revealed his honest feelings about his first kiss scene on the tvN drama “Reply 1988.”

On February 4, he met with a writer from Kookmin Ilbo at a café in Seoul and spoke of his time on the show. The writer remarked, “Many people pick your kiss scene as one of the most memorable on the show,” to which Park Bo Gum smiled shyly and said, “I was really fascinated by that response as well.”

He added, “Both Hyeri and I were nervous about this scene. We wanted people to watch it and feel that sense of youth and emotion. I was really nervous but the director did such a good job and everyone from the shoot took good care of us so I think it was able to come out well because of that.”

The second hotel kiss scene received an even greater response from the viewers. For that scene, Park Bo Gum remarked that he was still nervous but tried to appear calm.

“I had heard that in those kinds of situations, the male actor should take the lead and take care of the female actor,” he said. “So although it was the first time for me to do such a kiss scene, I worked hard so that it would come out well with Hyeri.”

Despite his nervousness, there were a lot of words that came out in support of him. The netizen responses to his kiss scene were glowing, with one even calling him the expert of kissing. “The expert of kissing? Me? Haha,” Park Bo Gum responded by throwing his head back and laughing at that comment.

He added, “I was so thankful for the positive response that it received. I heard that the dream kiss scene received the most views on the Internet and I was so fascinated by that.”

Park Bo Gum debuted in 2011 with the movie “Blind,” and has raised his stardom with the recently concluded “Reply 1988.” While he has received many offers for his next role, it is said that he has not decided on anything yet.

Which kiss scene do you prefer?

[deeand]

out of topik but i just bump into this teaser

they were Choi Taek ( Kim Ju-Hyeok ) and Sung Doek sun ( Lee Mi-Yeon )

[melleri]

Don't be modest.  He's the master of kissing.  

I also liked how happy and grateful he is to work with the writer and PD.  Love it. 

After reading both guy's answers about the husband hunt and Deok-Sun's choice, I think Hyeri is the one who understood everything best.    I'm still waiting for more translations though.  But so far...! Though that's to be expected since she's immersed in playing Deok-Sun. 

[Rebecca Susan]

@chickfactor Thanks for the translation.. ^^

I hope his wish come true.. I bet more actors or actresses wanna join the next project with him.. He already proved his great acting in various role even as villain or cute feminize boy lol.. he already become  part of my bias along with Jo In Sung, Kang Dong Won and Yoo Seung Ho..

Cant wait for his next project..  WISH U ALL THE BEST..

[melleri]

Something in common... every actor said they did not know they were the husband until the end..

[Full Transcript] Park Bo-gum interview Career part 1

tvN “Reply 1988” star Park Bogum sat down with the Kpop Herald on Feb. 4 to talk about his life as an actor and a 22-year-old. Below is a transcript of his hour-long interview, filled with questions asked by the Kpop Herald readers in advance via email. 

Q: What kind of role or genre would you want to play in the future? Maybe a period drama?
(Asked by: Irene Natania, Faajae, Ida May, Anne Susano, Kenna Gadong, Arsi Agnitasari, Elga Ribka, Han Im, Saranya Pong)

A: I would like to try an action or period drama. More specifically, it’d be fun to play a doctor or a young man living in the countryside. Most of all, I want to play a role in a TV series or film depicting teenage love. 

Q: What is going to be your next film or TV series? Have you decided yet?
(Asked by: Kenna Gadong, Yuan Xi Ling)

A: It would be a lie to say I have no pressure at all in choosing the next project. But what I know for sure is that I’ll be doing my best in all the work I do. Since my debut in 2011, I’ve thought that every TV series or film I’m starring in is the biggest work of my life. I know I just have to be hard-working and focused on what I do, as I have done in the past five years. The CEO and managers of my agency will do a good job in choosing a character that suits me the most. 

Q: What was your childhood dream? And why did you decide to become an actor?
(Asked by: Henda Kim, Kala Hila)

A: When young, I knew that I was going to have a broadcasting-related job. I enjoy singing and dancing, so my childhood dream was to become a singer-songwriter who touches people’s hearts with the songs and lyrics I wrote. In high school, I videotaped myself singing and sent the file to my current agency. The management watched it and suggested that starting my career in acting would help me gain wider experience, later releasing albums and joining musicals.

Q: How would you like to be recognized 10 or 20 years later? 
(Asked by the Korea Herald)

A: I don’t know till when I’ll be able to keep acting. There’s a time for everything, so I’ll try my best until I can’t. I want people to see me as an actor they want to work with, a person with warm heart and who can spread positive energy. It would be nice to get a reputation for good acting too. 

Q: Any actresses you would like to work with in the future? 
(Asked by Saranya Pong, Sashi Ani, Elga Ribka, Aryska Aminah, Marichell Banagan)

A: I’m in no position to choose a partner (laughing). Oh! That reminds me I’d like to act together with Yeo Jin-goo. He’s younger than me but a senior actor. He knows how to act, analyze the script and express feelings. It’s very admirable. I learned from my past TV series “Wonderful Mama” that you have to look into the other person’s eyes when acting and it’s an awesome feeling. I wonder what it’s like to communicate like that when acting with Yeo.

Q: You've gained lots of Thai fans thanks to "Reply 1988." Any plans to go there or learn the language?
I heard it's very difficult to learn Thai. I'm very thankful and glad to find out that many Thai fans are supporting me. I'd be happy to be anywhere that needs me.

[Herald Interview] ‘Reply 1988’ leaves mark on Park Bo-gum

Actor Park Bo-gum poses for a picture before an interview at a Seoul cafe on Thursday. (Yoon Byung-chan/The Korea Herald)

The article will be followed by the full transcripts of the interview. --Editor

Park Bo-gum spoke slowly, his words interspersed with child-like smiles. It was as if Park’s “Reply 1988” character Choi Taek had jumped off screen into real life. 

“I realized that I’m similar to my ‘Reply 1988’ character in real life. I’m like an iron fist in a velvet glove, just like Choi Taek in the TV series,” the 22-year-old told The Korea Herald in Seoul last Thursday.

“It was an honor to the whole family for me to be part of the amazing TV series. But fame doesn’t last forever. I know I shouldn’t settle for what I have right now, and be more modest and thankful (for my achievements). I know more than anyone else that I wouldn‘t be here if not for the help of my family, agency and fans,” he said in tears, getting a bit emotional. 

“Reply 1988” was a record-breaking cable TV series that roused nostalgia of the 1980s across the country. It was so popular that it brought back elements of the 1980s comedy, music, fashion and even people’s longing for interpersonal relationships in the old days. 

While it comes as a big pressure to take the next step under the spotlight, the actor said “every work has been a pressure to do well.”

“Since my debut in 2011, I’ve thought that every TV series or film I’m starring in is the biggest work of my life. I know I just have to be hard-working and focused on what I do, as I have done in the past five years,” Park said. 

Despite his early achievements as an actor, he was just like any other college student at his age.

Asked what his biggest concerns were, the actor hesitated for a second and answered “registering college courses,” saying he does not want to miss out on life as an ordinary college student. Park is currently a third-year in studying musical drama at Myungji University.

“To be honest, I want to go back to high school and finish do things I wasn’t able to do (because I was preparing to become an actor). I’ve learned that there is a time for everything. I want to fully enjoy my college life and maybe someday be in a musical with the things I learned at school.”

Park has been in the public eye over the past few years, by appearing in hit films “China Town,” “The Admiral: Roaring Currents” as well as the TV series “Cantabile Tomorrow” and “I Remember You.”

3) Her GEISHA make-up.  This is the GIVEAWAY. So many people have talked about this geisha make-up but they don't UNDERSTAND the significance.   

Look: DS has a conundrum that day in August. No matter how nice SW was, she only liked him as a friend. But since she was told that he liked her as a GIRLFRIEND, she had to be NICE to him.  She didn’t want him to be hurt because she already liked TK. So when SW dropped by to invite her for ramen at TK’s room, she PLANNED to TERMINATE his supposed crush on her with the Geisha make-up. 

Didn’t you get that? She wasn’t making herself pretty for SW. She was making herself UGLY so SW wouldn’t find her attractive anymore and would end his supposed "liking" for her. Shaking my head here….
 
DS knew how to put on makeup to make herself pretty. Watch Episode 1, at 54:51. She applied her own make-up for the camera interview. So she definitely knew what looks good on her and not. And geisha look was definitely ugly.

성덕선's closest spelling is what was written on her passport ep 9: SEONG(성) DEOK(덕) SEON(선).
The ㅓin her name is spelled as EO.
But anyone can spell it either way: Duk Sun, Deok Sun, Duk Seon. 
Sung Sun Woo's closest spelling (성선우) is SEONG (성) SEON (선) WOO (우)
And, yes, both Seon Woo and Deok Seon have (선) in their name.

Do you, ladies, see the problem her? Do you see the joke that the Scriptwriter had planned from the very beginning? SW cannot be DS’ first love because he’s her TWIN. 

Her twin!  lol.

If the parents in Ssangmundong were upset with Bora and SW’s union, then, the entire country would be discombobulated with a DS and SW pairing. Do you see the incongruity? If they were to register their names in marriage, it would look like this:

Sung, DeokSeon  DOB: Sept 17, 1971. 
Sung, SeonWoo   DOB: Sept 17, 1971.

They shared the same birth year, the same birth month, the same birth date, the same last name AND the same given name. They even live in the same neighborhood, too. They were twins from different mothers. SW cannot be DS’ first love because as this ludicrous trope goes, he’s her TWIN. The scriptwriter set it up.They weren't meant to be....

wow... those are so spot on... love your theory as always.

[Full Transcript] Park Bo-gum interview Relationship part 3

@rynn_peace @hafunohane @liteulkwin @Yesin Lee @anishaym

 

Q: How’s the real-life relationship between you and the other ‘Ssangmun-dong’ friends in the TV series? 
(Asked by Faajae, Ida May, Anishaym, Joyce Ann San Pedro)

It was my fourth time working with Ko Kyung-pyo, so I feel the most comfortable with him. “Reply 1988” was of course a great opportunity to know more about him. Lee Dong-hui is as funny as his character in real life. Ryu Jun-yeol is exemplary to other actors, as he’s always trying to analyze his character and acting skills. I met Hyeri for the first time for the TV series, and she feels just like her character, Deoksun. 

Q: When did you first realize you were Hyeri’s husband? How did you feel? 
(Asked by Faajae, Ida May, Chintya Sanita, Aryska Aminah, Joyce Ann, Just@tien)

While Hyeri found out who the husband will be while shooting the 16th episode, I found it out when shooting the 19th episode. Because everyone’s script is different, someone gave me a wrong script by mistake and I accidently found it out before shooting the final episode. Not much information about the plot was given to the cast, because we found out that actress Lee Mi-yeon was playing Hyeri’s grown-up role only after watching the first episode. 

Q: What did you feel when you first found out that Ryu Jun-yeol’s character is also in love with Hyeri’s character, Deoksun? And what do you think about the ending?
(Asked by Saranya Pong, Anishaym, Sasipat Dacha Akarapong, Joyce Ann San Pedro)

Ryu’s character Junghwan is really attractive, so I thought it was natural for Hyeri’s character to get married to Junghwan. After the kissing scene, Taek asks Deoksun if she remembers what happens last night and she says she went home and nothing happened. Like the viewers, I also thought kissing Deoksun was only a dream. But it turns out that Deoksun and Choi Taek did really kiss that night, and I was in utter shock. 

Q: Do you see yourself in Choi Taek? 
(Asked by Ev Kyu, Eky Ilmastuti, Saranya Pong)

I realized that I’m similar to my ‘Reply 1988’ character in real life. I’m like an iron fist in a velvet glove, just like Choi Taek in the TV series.
We’re very much alike in that we’re very focused on given tasks and I like drinking milk. If there’s a difference, I don’t play check-board as well as him (laugh). 

Q: How was the kiss scene with Hyeri? 
(Asked by: Ida May, Anishaym, Joyce Ann San Pedro)

When I was shooting a kiss scene with Hyeri, I was really nervous because it was the first on-screen kiss for both of us. I was shy too, but I pretended to be okay and tried to make Hyeri feel comfortable. 

Q: Are there other roles that you wanted to try in “Reply 1988?”
(Asked by Ida May, Ev Kyu)

When I first auditioned for the drama, I didn’t think I was going to play Choi Taek. The director made me do lines of different roles similar to “Reply 1988” characters and told me that I’d do good in playing Taek. During the audition he made me act cursing on people, and I think he found that funny and thought of me as Choi Taek. 

Q: What do you think about the ending? 
(Asked by Joyce Ann San Pedro)

From the beginning of the TV series, I’ve always thought Hyeri should get married to a person she can be happy with. I felt bad from Junghwan’s perspective, because Ryu did so well in expressing Junghwan’s feelings.
