Is there only a Yanggwansik in ‘Bokssak’? ‘Mr. Hak-ssi’ Choi Dae-hoon craze [DA:People]

“Mr. Hak!” It‘s a real craze. There’s a villain character in ‘I Was Fooled By You’ that I strangely feel attached to. He‘s arrogant and self-centered, but he can’t help but look so lonely. Actor Choi Dae-hoon played Boo Sang-gil in the Netflix series ‘I Was Fooled By You’, which created a sea of tears not only in Korea but also around the world. In the drama, Boo Sang-gil is a character who lives his life solely on his ‘ momentum’ due to his bold words and rude attitude, and is called ‘Dodong-ri Shaggy Gil’. He spent his youth with icy eyes and seemed to be living with only bribes and resentment as his only human kindness. The appearance of the father who only knows ‘about himself’, putting his family second, seemed immature and selfish. No one asked why. As time passed, his self-deprecating remarks, “It was me, I was shit,” struck me. And he was a father, too. He was a father who knew how to bow his head and lie flat when it came to his children. He would shout “Mr. Hakgak” and do his
