‘Boomsak’ Park Bo-gum “I felt the power of writer Im Sang-choon‘s writing... Will you cast me again?” [DA:Interview②]

Actor Park Bo-gum confessed his love for writer Im Sang-choon.

In an interview for the Netflix series ‘Boomsak,’ held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Gukjegeum-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 24th, Park Bo-gum said the reason for his appearance was, “The writer’s writing was really good. I‘m such a fan of the writer that I really wanted to participate.“

He said, “The adults protecting the weak were cool. I thought the animation shown in the opening video showed the entire story of this drama. There is a scene where hands come out and embrace and cover, and the warm affection that not only the villagers but also the adults embrace and take care of Gwan-sik and Ae-soon as well as everyone else was conveyed even when I read the text,” he said.

In addition, “Every single line really touched my heart. Even without saying anything, I liked how the aunts thought of Ae-soon and Gwan-sik when they were all together. The exquisite lines of Gwang-rye, played by senior Yeom Hye-ran, also touched my heart. As with all works, it’s hard to pick one scene. Every scene, every line was good,” he confessed.

Park Bo-gum said, “At first, I received the script for ‘Good Boy’ when I was in the military and chose it first. After that, they suggested ‘Deceived Me’ and the ‘Good Boy’ team waited for me. Since they are completely different roles, I thought that many viewers would be able to see a new charm of Park Bo-gum. He explained, “Both works had fun scripts and charming characters, so they were a challenge for me.”

He expressed his respect for writer Im Sang-choon, saying, “As a fan who respects and likes the writer, I was amazed at how I could feel the atmosphere the character was trying to express when I read his writing. Even though I didn’t have a lot of conversations with the writer, I felt the power of his writing.”

He said that he worked while communicating more with director Kim Won-seok on set. Park Bo-gum said that he had prepared phrases to describe writer Im Sang-choon in advance, such as, “Sagol soup, seaweed soup, galbitang, and seed storage for the soul. He emphasized, “I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of story the writer will tell with his seeds.”

He showed his affection by saying, “You’ll cast me again later, right?” and confessed, “I want to work with the writer again.”

“I Was Fooled” is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of Jeju Island-born “rebellious girl” Ae-soon and “iron man” Gwan-sik through four seasons. The series depicts the lives of “Ae-soon” and “Gwan-sik,” who go on an adventure together against the waves of life, through four seasons.

Park Bo-gum plays the young “Gwan-sik,” an iron man who can handle any difficult task without complaint, and he works with IU, who played the young “Ae-soon.” ‘Gwan-sik’ is an honest character, but he is rough and awkward in front of ‘Ae-soon’. The baton of ‘Gwan-sik’ in his middle age was passed on to Park Hae-joon.

‘Bok-ssak-da-suda’ consists of 16 episodes, and is released 4 times a week, with the final 4th act scheduled to be released on the 28th.
