There is an actor who has been rediscovered and praised again in the popular Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' (written by Lim Sang-chun and directed by Kim Won-seok). It is none other than Choi Dae-hoon, who plays the role of Buseong-gil.

'When Life Gives You Tangerines' is a warm and touching period drama centered around the story of a mother and daughter, and even the villain characters are portrayed endearingly. Among them, the most 'wicked' (?) villain is Buseong-gil, a character played by Choi Dae-hoon.

Buseong-gil is a local leader who has served as the captain of the squid boat and the head of the fishing village in Dodong-ri. Aesoon (IU) went through marriage crises until her matchmaking but barely escaped. According to Aesoon, he is 'the man from nowhere' who only eats sugar cubes. His line, "If I get a wife, all the housework is free," is a provocation of anger. Eventually, he was kicked fiercely by Aesoon for tormenting her husband, Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum).

Due to the marriage incident, Buseong-gil bears a grudge against Aesoon and continuously torments her husband, Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum). As time passes and he ages, he seems to develop a kind of love-hate relationship with Aesoon, but it is clear he is a character that provokes anger and annoyance.

Buseong-gil is marked by violence and infidelity. His wife, Yeong-ran (played by Chae Seo-an), ironically forms a bond with Aesoon and even disses her husband. Yeong-ran expresses her resentment by telling her young daughter, Hyun-sook, to find a husband like Aesoon's kind husband, Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum), when she grows up.

The such Buseong-gil is the ultimate villain in this drama without a true villain, but it is noted that Choi Dae-hoon's remarkable acting and charm as an actor greatly enrich the performance.

Choi Dae-hoon gave a comical touch by depicting Buseong-gil not as a malicious and cold villain, but rather as a very selfish and snobbish petty person.

Buseong-gil, who can be so annoying yet suddenly makes you burst into laughter, is considered a villain who is 100% blended into 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.'

Many people are captivated by his addictive acting. As a result, the so-called 'Hak-ssi craze' is also blowing. The term 'Hak-ssi,' which he casually utters when he is in a bad mood, has become the signature of the annoying Buseong-gil. Many internet users, including celebrities, have reenacted his 'Hak-ssi' lines and gestures, creating various memes. He is often referred to more as 'Hak-ssi' or 'Hak-ssi The Man from Nowhere.'

Choi Dae-hoon has previously garnered attention for his impressive performances in dramas such as 'ILSEUNG,' 'Lawless Lawyer,' 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' 'Model Detective 2,' 'Curtain Call,' 'One Thousand Won Lawyer,' and 'Sejak, The Enchanted.' Recently, he chilled the audience with a true villain role in 'Trigger' and will showcase another new aspect in the upcoming Netflix original series 'The Wonderfulls.'
