♣ Park Hyung Sik 박형식 ♣ [Current Drama 2024] "Doctor Slump"

[willenette]

*** "In the Soop : The Friendcation", I love the final EP where they're ice-skating.  And wow – they have a whole hockey rink all to themselves! They do a short ice routine in time with whatever song is playing over the speakers. Sigh....only (3) of them did that - We don’t get a performance from Seo-joon & Hyung-shik - I felt a little sad & bad when it's the nearing end of their trip – Hyung-shik has to leave in the middle of the night for a shoot, while the rest of them will leave the next morning. But, very funny the part where the group reminisces a bit about the past few days, and V says he doesn’t remember why he cried the night before. But, the (4) are there to reenact every single moment mimicking V’s facial expressions and arm position. hahaha -

*** I thought all along that airing this variety show might have higher ratings. But, ratings were on the low side. I love Wooga Squad. I enjoyed all the (4) EPs. Most in US couldn't find this show to watch and this could have contributed to the

 

low ratings. It's NICE to see them through this perspective.

*** PHS is one among the male stars who are not good at drinking alcohol. He's  known to have weak alcohol tolerance. Many people don’t show changes in their face color no matter how much they drink. On the other hand, some get red all over their body after just one or two drinks. Celebrities are no exception. Some stars look like people who have good alcohol tolerance but actually get drunk quickly.   

 

 

6. Singer-actor Park Hyung-sik

Park Hyung-sik, who is loved for his warm visual and perfect physique, is another celebrity who cannot drink. Park Hyung-sik appeared on KBS CoolFM’s “Lee So-ra’s Music Plaza” in 2014 and revealed that his face turned red after drinking only one glass of alcohol. He once surprised everyone with the story that he had a cramp in his leg after drinking a can of beer when he was a trainee.

Top 5 most “chaotic” married couples in K-dramas

 

Married life in K-dramas seems to be full of turbulence. 

If a K-drama ends in a marriage, it’s often considered a happy ending, but already married couples in K-dramas seem to mostly lead some hectic lives, and below are 5 prime examples. 

 

 

4. Park Hyung Sik – Han Hyo Joo (Happiness)

Yoon Sae Bom (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Yi Hyun (Park Hyung Sik)’s relationship is already chaotic from their premise. First, they get a fake marriage to buy an apartment, then, they start fighting “zombies”.

 

Unlike the “Penthouse” couple though, the feelings that Yi Hyun has for Sae Bom are real, and she also slowly starts to realize that.

After a long and painstaking battle against an unknown virus, Jung Yi Hyun finally wins over his dream girl. For such a grim and dark series, the ending of “Happiness” actually resonates with its title.

9 Wooga Squad Moments That Had Us Feeling Giddy

 

 

Who doesn’t love the Wooga Squad? Seeing a group of mega-stars bonding and genuinely loving each other’s company is more than we could have asked for. Their different backgrounds, personalities, and ages, all seem to make the perfect concoction of bromance and loyalty. Here are nine moments from the Wooga Squad that had us feeling completely giddy with joy.

 

  Hide contents

1. Photoshopping Park Hyung Sik into a group photo

There was a time where the members of the Wooga Squad took a trip to Jeju Island. Unfortunately, this was while Park Hyung Sik was in the military, and he was unable to be in the photo. To ensure that he didn’t feel left out, they photoshopped him into the photo. Everyone needs friends like this.

 

2. Everyone reuniting for Choi Woo Shik’s fan event

 

On July 5th, 2021, Choi Woo Shik held an online fan meeting called “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” It was only obvious that he would invite his best friends, and they showed up for the event. All of them revealed that they were busy with different events and filming schedules, but they still managed to make the effort to go to Woo Shik’s event.

 

 

During this fan meeting we also learned that Park Seo Joon used to drive Choi Woo Shik around everywhere because he didn’t drive. How cute!

3. The bromance on the set of “Hwarang”

Although all of the Wooga Squad was not in “Hwarang,” this is the series that started it all. When Park Hyung Sik and V got close to Park Seo Joon during the filming of this drama, they were eventually introduced to Park Seo Joon’s two best friends, Peakboy and Choi Woo Shik. The rest is history!

 

4. V going to “The Divine Fury” screening

When Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik were in the movie “The Divine Fury” together, it was no surprise that V would attend the screening. He was a VIP guest, and the three even snapped a photo together after the screening!

 

5. When the Wooga Squad sent V a food truck

V was at the BTS “Magic Shop” muster event, and he snapped a very cute photo standing in front of the food truck that his hyungs got him. The hilarious photo of V making a funny face in the poster brought about a lot of laughter, but the highlight was definitely seeing the “from your brothers” message above the truck – the sweetness!

 

6. When they spent Christmas together

In 2019, Park Seo Joon uploaded a photo on his Instagram that forever left fans feeling happy and warm. Park Hyung Sik could not be in the photo as he was in the military, but they obviously missed him dearly!

7. Being in Peakboy’s music video

This is probably one of the most cutest Wooga Squad moments ever. When news broke out that the Wooga Squad would be featured in Peakboy’s music video for “Gyopo Hairstyle,” fans were so excited. Each of the members had a role in the music video, and it was such a delight to see them supporting Peakboy’s new song.

 

Check out the music video here:

 

 

 

8. Agreeing to do “In The SOOP” for V

 

In the beginning episodes of “In The SOOP,” it was revealed that V was the one who encouraged the filming of the show. He wanted to take a vacation with them and show the fans a deeper look into their interaction and relationship, which fans excitingly accepted!

9. The bond that was shared in “In The SOOP”

 

Throughout the series, fans were able to truly see just how close the Wooga Squad is. Their respect and love for each other is unbreakable, and there is a constant support they have for each other, which is so touching to see. V even shed some tears, expressing how hard it has been this past year, to which his hyungs comforted him. This kind of group of friends is so hard to find, and I’m so thankful they have given us a firsthand view of their relationship!

These are the must-watch K-dramas picked by K-netizens

 

K-dramas have been gaining global popularity lately with the help of various OTT services, such as Netflix. Korean dramas did appeal to the global audience even a few years back, but with easier access, K-drama has been able to spread to a broader market of viewers.

 

Unlike American series, which long for multiple seasons, K-dramas boast fast story development, and the series usually end with just one season. Thanks to this, viewers are offered an endless list of dramas with various stories and different genres that they can watch. At times, it might be difficult to navigate through the long list of dramas, and recommendations would often help shorten the list.

 

So, K-netizens listed some of the must-see dramas that international viewers should watch. So here is the list of K-dramas recommended by K-netizens.

K-drama couples without melodramatic misunderstandings and conflicts that make us tired

 

Watching the love story of these K-drama couples won’t give viewers a headache. 

The romance of K-drama couples can be overly dramatic sometimes. Misunderstandings, fights, breaks-up are often added to stir up drama in their stories. However, in recent years, K-dramas have cut down on unnecessarily exaggerated conflicts between couples. 

 

The following couples are prime examples, as they are built on pure trust and love. They may face obstacles with other things but their feelings for one another are very consistent. 

 

 

Park Hyung Sik – Han Hyo Joo (Happiness)

Yoon Sae Bom (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Yi Hyun (Park Hyung Sik) of “Happiness” are put in a more difficult situation than other couples because they have to deal with a zombie apocalypse while getting stuck in an apartment complex.

 

Yoon Sae Bom and Jung Yi Hyun have to fight to survive and protect not only themselves but other people. Despite such a terrifying situation, the two never lose trust in each other. They fight side by side, trust and rely on each other.

Their love line is not the focus of the drama but their chemistry is excellent. A happy ending is definitely what they deserve.

Top 10 K-Dramas Where He Fell First But She Fell Harder

 

One of the most popular and beloved tropes in the world of K-Dramas is when the male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight, but unfortunately for him, it takes quite a bit of chasing to make her fall in love with him too. However, once these lovely ladies do give in to their charms, they fall harder than ever. The tables are turned as the female lead then goes to the ends of the world to make him happy, and her boundless devotion towards him becomes more and more evident.

 

If you're looking for K-Dramas where the ML fell first, but the FL fell harder, here are 10 recommendations you might enjoy!

 

Note: This list is not a ranking.

 

Spoiler Alert!

 

 

 

8. "Soundtrack #1"

"Soundtrack #1" rests on the bittersweet tune of unrequited love but ends on a note of fairytale romance that maxes out on gratification. ZE:A's Park HyungSik is phenomenal as the quiet yet consistent Han SunWoo, a photographer, whereas Han SoHee plays the not-so-blissfully unaware Lee EunSoo, his muse. The two have been friends for decades, and if not for a brief period of living together, they would most likely have remained so for the rest of their lives. Luckily, a songwriting project brings them together as EunSoo tries to map out the feeling of one-sided love with SunWoo by her side, who, coincidentally, has been in love with her all along. Even though it initially takes her some time to realize her own feelings, she ultimately goes all-in for SunWoo, completing the friends-to-lovers arc with perfection.

Soompi & Viki Staff Talk: Which Actor Is Your Favorite To Watch In K-Dramas?

 

Following the previous edition of the “Soompi & Viki Staff Talk” series in which our staff members discussed our favorite actresses to watch in K-dramas, we are now back to talk about some actors we love to watch.

 

Here’s what out team members have to say:

 

 

Natalie: Park Hyung Sik

 

 

Park Hyung Sik is my favorite actor to watch in K-dramas, and I have been a fan for more than ten years since I was in middle school. As some may be aware, Park Hyung Sik started off as a vocalist in the K-pop group ZE:A. He then kicked off his acting career with supporting roles such as Cho Myung Soo in “Heirs” and worked his way to bigger, main lead roles such as Ahn Min Hyuk in “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” and Jung Yi Hyun in “Happiness.” My favorite acting performance from Park Hyung Sik is the scene from “Happiness” in which zombified Jung Yi Hyun instantly returns to normal human status upon hearing his lover’s voice and shares a passionate kiss with her. In this scene, Park Hyung Sik beautifully portrays relief, love, and compassion returning to his character’s stone-cold zombie eyes, and many fans, including myself, were moved by the teary kiss afterwards. As a longtime fan, it has been fascinating to watch him evolve into the wide-ranged, talented actor he is today, and I’m always anticipating what his next role will be like!
