Actor Park Bo-gum has announced the birth of an ‘unique’pure male character’.

In the Netflix series ‘You Were Fooled’, which ranked first on the ‘Today‘s South Korea TOP 10’ series rankings as soon as the first act was released on the 7th (Friday), Park Bo-gum plays the role of ‘Gwan-sik’, an unyielding iron man who can do anything without complaint, whether it be exercising, doing business, or anything difficult. He is depicting a heartbreaking and beautiful love story with the dreamy and ambitious ‘Ae-soon’ (played by IU).



Park Bo-gum made viewers fall in love with this unprecedented character. A strong but never rough personality, honesty that is spared in words and shown through actions, and reckless courage to throw away one’s life for just one person, all perfectly portrayed as ‘Gwan-sik’. From his changes in appearance to his inner expression, Park Bo-gum worked hard to become one with the character itself, becoming perfectly close to ‘Gwan-sik’. As a result, the appearance of ‘Gwan-sik’, the main character of the pure love story that has lasted for over 10 years and the owner of fresh passion, drew cheers and drew viewers into the ‘Spring’ of Jeju.

His emotional and passionate performance adds depth to the narrative of the young ‘Gwan-sik’ and ‘Ae-soon’. Park Bo-gum convincingly expressed ‘Gwan-sik’‘s unconditional love that does not hesitate at crucial moments and puts his lover first in any situation. ‘Ae-soon’s “I can only live if my brother is gone” is a scene where he lonely chooses to go to land after receiving a breakup notice, then returns against the rough waves to choose his own fate, and the scene where he firmly turns his back on the dining table in a time when men and women could not eat together and embraces the loneliness of his wife ‘Ae-soon’ and daughter ‘Geum-myeong’ showed the solid side of ‘Gwan-sik’. Park Bo-gum increased the density of the character with his eyes that imply more than hundreds of words and his steadfast voice that does not tell a lie.

As the spring when the two youths’ first love blossomed comes to an end and summer begins, curiosity is rising about what twists and turns ‘Gwan-sik’ and ‘Ae-soon’ will face. The second act of the Netflix series ‘Deceived Me’ will be released exclusively on Netflix on Friday, March 14.
