The Korean Business Research Institute has just announced the list of most favorite actors in March. As a result, Park Hyung Sik - the male lead of the movie "Buried Hearts" took the lead with a brand reputation index of 5,553,987.
Meanwhile, the second place belongs to Cha Joo Young - the female lead of the movie Queen Wongyeong with a brand index of 5,477,781.
The male lead of the film "Youth Union" - Seo Kang Joon ranked 3rd with a brand index of 5,235,916.
The two positions in the top 5 belong to the actors of the movie "Bury Heart" - Hong Hwa Yeon ( note of 5,037.179) and Choo Young Woo - actors of the movie "Trauma Care Center", "The Legend of Lady Ok" ( note of 4,530.682).
Park Hyung Sik becoming a trending actor this month is not too surprising as the Korean actor's films have consecutively achieved good results in viewership ratings. In the most recent episode (evening of 22/3), the film achieved a rating of 13.1%, the highest since its premiere.
The role of Park Hyung Sik is Seo Dong Joo - head of the foreign cooperation team at the Daesan Group President's Office. Although he appears to be a loyal "Daesan man" on the outside, Dong Joo is actually very ambitious and ready to seize the opportunity to swallow up Daesan Group.
To completely transform into the role, Park Hyung Sik had a complete transformation - from style (hair, outfit) to expressions, acting skills with the purpose of portraying an attractive, capable man but also full of passion.
According to Korean media, after a period of struggling, Park Hyung Sik finally found a role for life...
For the actor, Seo Dong Joo is a character with a difficult journey, unlike most people, so he always has a strong mindset to overcome all challenges. However, sometimes Dong Joo's intelligence and confidence led him to betrayal and failure. But this is what makes the character more realistic.
Before the film was released, Park Hyung Sik himself also expected Buried Heart to be a turning point in his career. Actually, I wanted to take on a role like this when I was almost 20, but it didnt happen. At that time, I thought I was an adult, but looking back, I was probably still a little immature.
After returning from the army and gaining more life experience, I feel grateful to participate in a project like this. I think that going through difficulties helps a person become more mature. When I watched the screen this time, I realized that my face had changed a lot. It felt like everything had its right time, he said.
