‘I Was Fooled By You’ Park Hae-joon talked about how he prepared to play Yang Gwan-sik.

On the afternoon of the 1st, Park Hae-joon from the Netflix series ‘I Was Fooled By You’ met with Dong-a.com for an interview and talked about the drama at a hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul.

On that day, Park Hae-joon talked about how he prepared for the middle-aged Yang Gwan-sik, recalling the time in the latter half of the drama when Yang Gwan-sik was receiving chemotherapy, saying, “I did water loss for about two weeks.”

Park Hae-joon said, “I lost about 7-8kg. It was almost like I lost water from my body. I lost weight like fighters do before getting on the scale. It also helped me when I was acting. My body was weak. My eyes were sunken. The director really liked it.”



When asked about the process, he said, “I set two weeks as the D-day and drink more than 3L of water a day for about 10 days. Then I urinate a lot. After that, I reduce the water to 500ml. If I do that for 3 days, I think that the water will come back in, but the water will continue to be lost. I didn‘t drink water from the day before until filming. It wasn’t the director who asked me to; I said I would do it,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Foolish Rebellion’, which was first released on the 7th and ended with 16 episodes, is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of ‘rebel girl’ Ae-soon’, born in Jeju, and ‘unstoppable iron’ Gwan-sik, over the four seasons.

In ‘Foolish Rebellion’, Park Hae-joon plays the middle-aged Yang Gwan-sik and plays the couple Moon So-ri.
