Park Bo-gum announced the birth of a unique 'pure love' character.
On the 7th, with the release of Act 1, Netflix's series 'Genuine Deceived' topped the 'Today's Korea TOP 10' rankings. Park Bo-gum plays 'Gwan-sik,' a clumsy yet strong character who handles exercise, business, and any difficulties without complaint, and is currently portraying a poignant and beautiful love story with 'Ae-sun' (played by IU).
Park Bo-gum has thrilled viewers with a character previously unseen. He perfectly depicted 'Gwan-sik,' who has a strong but never harsh personality, shows steadfastness through action without words, and possesses reckless courage to dedicate his life to just one person. Through efforts to fully embody the character, from changes in appearance to inner expression, Park Bo-gum has closely approached 'Gwan-sik.' As a result, the emergence of 'Gwan-sik,' the protagonist of a pure love story maintained for over 10 years and a young man filled with fresh passion, has drawn cheers and attracted viewers to Jeju's 'spring.'
His emotional performance adds depth to the narrative of young 'Gwan-sik' and 'Ae-sun.' Park Bo-gum convincingly expressed 'Gwan-sik's' unconditional love, which prioritizes his beloved above all else, through decisive actions during critical moments and a steadfast commitment to his principles.
'Ae-sun's' "I can't live without my older brother" was a poignant farewell announcement that led to her choosing to go to the mainland, only to return against fierce waves and choose her own destiny. The scene where they had to sit back to back at the table during the times when men and women could not share meals, embracing the loneliness of his wife 'Ae-sun' and daughter 'Geum-myeong,' showcased 'Gwan-sik's' solid character. Park Bo-gum elevated the character's intensity with a gaze that encapsulated more than hundreds of words and a steadfast voice that does not speak falsehoods.
As the youth's innocent love blossoms in spring and transitions into the early summer, curiosity rises about what trials 'Gwan-sik' and 'Ae-sun' will face. Netflix's series 'Genuine Deceived' will release Act 2 exclusively on Netflix on March 14 (Friday).
