Actor Park Bo-gum brought tears to viewers‘ eyes with his boiling emotional acting.

In the Netflix series ‘Fooled Me’, the second half of which was released on the 14th (Friday), Park Bo-gum took on the role of ‘Gwan-sik’, a young man who forms a family with ‘Ae-soon’ (played by IU) and approaches middle age, portraying the character’s changes over time.

The figure of ‘Gwan-sik’, who only protects ‘Ae-soon’, made viewers‘ hearts flutter in the second act as well. In ‘Farmer of Love’, Park Bo-gum threw a fastball at the person he loves, portraying the growth of ‘Gwan-sik’, who became a father who struggles to save his wife and children from the swamp of reality. Even during the feast to commemorate the purchase of a fishing boat, the scene where he fixates only on ‘Ae-soon’ and runs to him without hesitation as soon as an emergency arises, and the scene where ‘Ae-soon’ gives her the house she longed for so much as a gift, showed the strength of ‘Gwan-sik’ who stands firm like a shadow no matter what adversity comes.



In particular, the scene where ‘Gwan-sik’ surprise kisses ‘Ae-soon’ who is shedding tears at the abundance she is embracing for the first time in her life made the excitement explode. Park Bo-gum added persuasiveness to ‘Gwan-sik’’s gentle transformation with his expression and speech that have become stronger but have not lost their gentleness, and his eyes that still hold pure love.

On the other hand, his tearful acting attracted a lot of attention. The scene where the iron-like ‘Gwan-sik’ collapses under the momentum of summer, which nurtures everything but also destroys recordings without warning, made the entire living room resonate. ‘Gwan-sik’ was unable to control his emotions at the sudden death of his youngest son ‘Dong-myeong’, and his sobs, which even covered the sound of the waves, clearly showed the grief of parents who have lost a child. Park Bo-gum left viewers speechless as he portrayed the always steadfast ‘Gwan-sik’ helplessly collapsing in the face of a cruel fate.

In this way, Park Bo-gum heightened the immersion by becoming one with the character as he portrayed the life of ‘Gwan-sik’, who gradually approaches middle age from a youth. The Netflix series ‘Deceived Me’ will release its third act exclusively on Netflix on Friday, March 21.
