To Gaze Or Not To Gaze: How A Look From "Our Blooming Youth"’s Park HyungSik Says More Than Words

From "Hwarang" to "Happiness", no one expresses emotion with just one look quite like actor Park HyungSik – and his stellar performance as Crown Prince Lee Hwan in "Our Blooming Youth" is no exception.

 

 

Since its initial airing on February 6th, the story of the cursed Crown Prince Lee Hwan (Park HyungSik) and the wrongly accused Lady Min JaeYi (Jeon SoNee) has provided mystery and intrigue with an ever-growing affection between the two main leads. Pivotal to this is the natural charisma of Park HyungSik, who continues to show his acting prowess through the efficient use of his powerful expressions.

 

Here are six example gazes used by Park HyungSik to convey the unspoken throughout his performance in "Our Blooming Youth"

 

Spoiler

Gaze 1: Splendid Regality

 

There’s no argument here - Park HyungSik has very good form as a Crown Prince since the "Hwarang" days.

 

Here, though, things are really stepped up a notch. His presence is commanding, and this stare demands respect, along with some awe, from those around him. The Joseon-era Crown Prince robe further adds to deep impression of Park HyungSik’s splendid reality.

 

Gaze 2: Fierce Competitiveness

 

Who can say no to a good, old fashioned polo competition? Not Crown Prince Lee Hwan, who relishes the opportunity to try to lead the Crown Prince’s guards to victory against Sergeant Han SungOn (Yun JongSeok) and his soldiers. His steely determination is written all over his face, with the tightened jaw and narrowing of the eyes further accentuating his features.

 

Gaze 3: Shocked Realisation

 

Imagine you were in the middle of an open field, not a soul in sight, when suddenly arrows began to rain down on you. That would probably result in a look similar to this; however, Park HyungSik also manages to emphasize the urgency and tension in that moment. The viewer instantly anticipates a swift retaliation for whoever has dared to fire at the Young Master.

 

Gaze 4: Abject Sorrow

 

When we first meet Crown Prince Lee Hwan, his life is far from the proverbial bed of roses. Instead, he struggles with loneliness, a distant father and the more pressing concern of a multi-faceted curse that seems to be becoming reality. As he continues to face his demons, Park HyungSik is able to portray the depth of feelings – including, at times, complete despair – of Lee Hwan in those moments. His eyes swelling with tears and visible efforts to contain emotion make Park HyungSik’s reactions to Lee Hwan’s mounting woes all the more compelling for the viewer.

 

Gaze 5: Conflicted Confusion

 

The interactions of Park HyungSik with his fellow cast members should not be ignored, particularly with respect to the female lead, Min JaeYi (Jeon SoNee). Watching their friendship and love slowly blossom over the course of the series has been so eloquently delivered and when Min JaeYi behaves in a completely unexpected way, you share the Crown Prince’s perplexed response. Park HyungSik’s slightly raised eyebrows and open-mouthed stare make the bafflement tangible and we are also left wondering what on earth is happening!

 

Gaze 6: A Longing For Love

 

This last look says it all, really – an intense stare, like there is no one else in the world, accompanied by a soft affection for the object of his scrutiny. As the series continues, these gazes become longer and more intense, but despite all of Min JaeYi’s efforts, the Crown Prince remains remarkably ignorant of Min JaeYi’s own fondness for him. This gaze is by far Park HyungSik’s specialty, and he delivers his clear message to the audience with aplomb.

 

There are still so many uncertainties as "Our Blooming Youth" continues. Will the truth of the curse be uncovered? How will Min JaeYi clear her name? Can the Crown Prince untangle the Min JaeYi – Han SungOn love triangle he has become inexplicable involved in? Given the expertise in his delivery of the character so far, expectations are high of Park HyungSik’s Crown Prince Lee Hwan!

Park Hyung Sik And Yoon Jong Seok Aren’t Sure If They Can Completely Trust Heo Won Seo In “Our Blooming Youth”

DRAMA PREVIEW

 

More secrets are being revealed in the next episode of “Our Blooming Youth.”

“Our Blooming Youth” tells the love story of Lee Hwan (Park Hyung Sik), a crown prince suffering from a mysterious curse, and Min Jae Yi (Jeon So Nee), a genius woman falsely accused of murdering her family.

Spoilers

Episode 17 of “Our Blooming Youth” will look back on Lee Hwan’s first meeting with his bodyguard Choi Tae Kang (Heo Won Seo), the behind-the-scenes story of Choi Tae Kang passing his martial arts test, and much more.

 

In the previous episodes, Lee Hwan was taking care of Choi Tae Kang, a guard who was diligent in his duties and carried out all of his responsibilities flawlessly. However, Min Jae Yi soon became suspicious, especially when she encountered him twice in the same place.

 

Finally, Lee Hwan and Min Jae Yi came to the realization that Choi Tae Kang is actually a twin. After all, there’s no way he could have been in two places at once. To cite a specific instance, while Choi Tae Kang was helping Min Jae Yi to repair her house, a person with the exact same face as Choi Tae Kang was seen somewhere else.

 

More importantly, Choi Tae Kang’s twin has been shown to be related to many of the events that have happened thus far, the most important being the Byeokcheon Rebellion. Could Choi Tae Kang be in kahoots with them as well? For Lee Hwan, who placed so much trust in the escort, there is nothing but confusion following this revelation.

 

 

The newly released photos show a completely different side from all of the tension that has been piling up with every revealed secret. In one shot, Lee Hwan, Han Sung On (Yoon Jong Seok), and Choi Tae Kang are smiling together. Choi Tae Kang is holding his certificate for martial arts while the other two look at him proudly, showing viewers just how much their friendship has strengthened over the years.

 

Spoiler

 

However, no matter how strong their friendship may be, there’s no way to predict what Choi Tae Kang’s next move will be and where his true loyalties lie. Therefore, Lee Hwan must carefully analyze every moment he spent with Choi Tae Kang, from the moment they met up until the present. Amongst all of this reflection, will Lee Hwan be able to find any clues leading him back to Choi Tae Kang’s twin and the Byeokcheon Rebellion?

 

The next episode of “Our Blooming Youth” will air on April 3 at 8:50 p.m. KST.

*** PHS was once a victim of bullying. He never experienced being bullied during her student years, not until he became an idol trainee. In her previous company, his fellow trainees would always ostracize him as they believed that he  was receiving favorable treatment from the company due to his close relationship with their manager. However, Park Hyung Sik clarified that he was only seeking advice from their manager who was more than willing to listen to his worries. Because of the anxiety he has experienced, he suffered from depression.

*** For the scene where the two lead actors were walking down a road in school uniforms, how young both of them looked. I guess this scene will be used as a look-back into the past of the main characters, who were rivals competing for the top spot at their school. The drama is expected to air in October this year, on JTBC and Netflix.
