"Second Shot at Love" Park Kang-seob demonstrated the essence of a real-life male friend.
Park Kang-seob is playing the caring and witty Lee Young-woong, known as the ‘lover of Bocheon,’ in the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Second Shot at Love" (written by Myung Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun / directed by Jang Yu-jung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by How Pictures), receiving positive reviews from viewers.
After his long-time friend Geum-joo (played by Choi Soo-young) returned to Bocheon, Young-woong was the first to notice her change and quietly stood by her side. Geum-joo was depicted working from dawn to maintain Oh-jun's (Gong Myoung) vehicle, and Young-woong, witnessing this, said, “Is it really because of a sense of professionalism? It's all because of you,” conveying her true feelings and resonating with the viewers.
Park Kang-seob added realism to the drama by naturally bringing out Young-woong's human charm with his friendly tone and witty acting. He played a role that mediated emotions between Geum-joo and Oh-jun, especially in a scene where he told Oh-jun, “Geum-joo, you have been looking out for her since long ago. Think of it as repaying her,” effectively communicating his deep consideration and emotions and enhancing the engagement in the drama.
Young-woong's lover characteristics also provided a unique enjoyment. He struggled to find tickets to a concert by Bang Jun-seong for his wife Bong Seon-hwa (played by Kim Bo-jung), even searching for free giveaways on Potato Market, and engaged in an intense battle of wits with ‘Bocheon's Bong Joon-ho’ Seon-wook (played by Kang Hyung-seok), bringing delightful laughter.
Outwardly cheeky, but warm-hearted inside, Lee Young-woong is injecting vitality into the drama with his unique charm. Expectations grow regarding how Park Kang-seob, transformed into a close friend, will create chemistry with various characters within the drama.
Meanwhile, "Second Shot at Love," featuring Park Kang-seob, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. on tvN.
