Born in 1988, Park Seo Joon is one of the talented actors of Korean screen.
With his handsome appearance, natural and humorous acting style, he is loved by the audience when appearing in many films such as "Pretty Girl", "Cops", "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim", "Itaewon Class"...
In 2023, the Korean actor attracted attention when he starred in the MCU movie "The Marvels". In the same year, the movie "Fallen Paradise" in which he starred with Lee Byung Hun, Park Bo Young and the movie "Dream" in which he co-starred with "national sister" IU were also released in theaters.
At a time when his name was being consolidated, the actor's appearance in the 70 billion won ($52 million) budget film - "Gyeongseong Creature" with Han So Hee was once expected, but now it has become a work that makes him suffer failure.
Although it still recorded a high viewership on the Netflix platform, the film mainly received negative feedback due to its unattractive content and lackluster acting by the cast.
In particular, the male lead Park Seo Joon received a lot of criticism. In part 1, in addition to his performance lacking in originality and not being consistent with the historical context, the actor's Japanese speaking ability was also criticized for being unnatural. His on-screen romance with co-star Han So Hee was also awkward and not as explosive as expected.
In part 2, Park Seo Joon tried to change, but his transformation into a dual role was only average. In romantic scenes, he and his co-star were criticized by SCMP for not being able to convey the romance and pain of the characters.
According to the media, Park Seo Joon's acting in movies but not investing in selecting scripts or spending time digging deeper and learning more skills (like speaking Japanese) is the factor that is causing his career to gradually stagnate.
Currently, the male star is considering playing the lead role of Gyeongdo in the romance film "Waiting for Gyeongdo".
The work is directed by Lim Hyun Wook - who directed the films "Hotel Royal", "Red Strings", "Life". The script is written by Yoo Young Ah - screenwriter of the films "39", "Divorce Lawyer Shin Sung Han"...
Although the producer has not revealed too much about the film's content, romantic films are Park Seo Joon's forte, so he is expected to soon regain his previous peak career.
