Since 20 March 2016 when we watched the exciting finale of Park Sihoo-ssi’s “Local Hero” (“Neighborhood Hero”), we have been anticipating the return of our hero to Korea’s mainstream entertainment scene.
Days turned to months and months turned to a year, and past! It has been many starts and stops, ups and downs, joy and depression. So many swings and disappointments that I have become numbed and immune. I would not believe any news till I can be absolutely sure. As I said before, “till the fat lady sings”! And our “horse” has been keeping mum! So closed mouth even up till now! But the momentum of impending news has been picking up steam.
Our chants of “We want him back!” had got louder and stronger! Thank you dear sisters for that universal, one voice!
When that lone news article appeared in the early morning of yesterday, in my heart of hearts, I was very hopeful, but still with a little doubt. Why? Because it was one piece of news. I hated its headline “Park Sihoo in the end…”. And it cited “a drama official” but not specifying exactly who…KBS, Studio Dragon, the Director? Who, who, who?
Definitely nothing official about it, more hearsay and paparazzi actually!
So it was in the late afternoon when Park Sihoo Japan Official Fan Club (JOFC) posted the news article on their website that I was convinced! My heart stopped and started beating again, frantically!
YES! This has to be it!
And my heart filled with an indescribable joy! Totally indescribable joy!
So many mixed emotions! Overflowing with joy! Real relief that the day has finally arrived. This news must be true! I had to pinch myself!
Our man is back! Park Sihoo-ssi is back!
难以形容的兴奋!
自从2016年3月20日以来,观看了施厚君的“小区英雄”(“邻家英雄”)的激动人心的结局,我们一直在盼望着我们的英雄回归韩国娱乐圈的正式渠道。
日变成了月,月变成了年!已经有很多开始和停止,起起伏伏,喜悦和抑郁。那么多的波动,那么多的失望,我都已经变得麻木,不再相信任何消息,直到有绝对的肯定。正如我之前所说的,“直到胖女士唱歌”!而我们的“骏马”到目前为此还是守口如瓶!一声不响!但即将到来的消息的势头一直在增加。
我们的呼唤声“我们要他归来!”也越来越响,越来越强!感谢亲爱的姐妹们的一致同声!
昨天清晨,当那唯一的一篇报道出现在一家韩媒上,我心底里充满了希望,但仍然有一丝的疑问。为什么呢?因为只有一家媒体消息。我讨厌那头条“最后,还是朴施厚…”。它引用了“官方人员”,但没有具体说明谁是官方… KBS,Studio Dragon,导演?谁,谁,谁?
看起来绝对不是官方,实际上更像传闻和狗仔队在炒作!
然后,在下午时候,施厚君的日本官方粉丝俱乐部(JOFC)在他们的网站上发布了新闻!我这才相信!我的心都停止跳动,然后又疯狂地跳了起来!
是了!这因该是了!
我的心充满了难以形容的兴奋!完全无法形容的快乐!
百感交集!无限的欢乐!终于成事实了,真的等待了,心终于可以安定下来了!
我们的男神归来了!施厚君归来了!

太高興了,相信昨天各位厚粉姐妹也一定很興奮和激動,因為我們最愛的男神接拍新劇了,他回來了!希望他和劇組拍攝順利,我們好期待啊!
Not just that Our Man Is Back, the most important thing is He is Back On KBS, the Mainstream, Back as Leading Role, not supporting cast, Back on the golden time slot of weekenders……..ALL THESE means the scream of joy can be an ABSOLUTE Full Burst Out of our Lungs and Hearts, Not a bit of holding back. And personally for me this incessant Barossa Valley ajuhma the added icing on the cake is a Romantic Comedy!!! QOR romantic comedy was the very reason I fell under his spell. THANK YOU KBS! THANK YOU the Director of My Golden Life! THANK YOU the Production company, the script writer who would have a say in which actor fitted the scripted male lead role, for all I know the script writer probably specifically written the script with PSH in mind, THANK YOU for the co- cast team for putting in their faith and belief and not acting coward declining their parts in MGL.
I am supposed to focus on work but honestly how can I not being distracted to focus on PSH’s current news. How can any ardent fan not feeling that yesterday and today the world is different? I instantly thought about his mother his grandmother, his father, his brother, perhaps even his paternal grandfather too, how would they feel last night, what was their emotion last night? How was the ambience in Park family last night? As I said, the 1st thing after I screamed like the way I screamed when I got my admission into uni my gateway for a big change of my quality of living, after that, I imagine the ardent motherly fans who love and supported PSH all these years would shed tears hearing such a news. Later I thought of PSH’s family. I thought of that photo I had one to one with PSH’s mother in Sheraton lift lobby of Miyazaki. I thought of all the suppressions, the unfair treatment, the hostility by negative elements, the pressure, when all these have finally come yesterday the day we in the public get to know of the good news. Even I think the family probably knew it earlier, still every step need to be so careful, I could only imagine the full relief could only come to the family yesterday when actions start to take place. Because one little move by example another member of the project would delay etc etc, and his family and us fans, we are wise enough to know not to count our blessings before things are 100% pinned down. Oh My……
The internet that I follow even his usual fans also rather cautious not to over do with the good news. And I applaud them for being wise. And I applaud PSH for low key and til now this horse is still keeping his mouth tight. What we want is actions and results, not noise. 1st thing Nance sent me this morning a All K Pop breaking news, vulture neck getting married. and everyone seeing such a news would 1st instant ask “”Really”? Or is it for noise effect? …..gees……..how glad I am a fan of PSH who doesn’t resort to frilly news to attract attention. As I have said, PSH in my accounting principle, he is a man of Substance Over Form. Don’t Need Noise, Just Need Actions.
Indescribable Joy because It’s Indescribable Love. Simply Red sang a song titled Sunrise that had Hall & Oates’ music note in which I remember its lyrics has the words indescribable love and I had since associated that love with my love for my dog Bob. Love for PSH is also in that category. Indescribable.
Congratulations to PSH!
It is an excellent news! I am also filled with joy when I read the news in the Korean media, Chinese newspaper and JOFC.
My eyes are welled with tears….imagine even me feel like that, how would his family feel…….
Indescribable joy! Tears of joy in my eyes for the best news about our Sihoo. Unfortunately I can’t stop remembering that his come back comes after so many years of injustice against him. As Voltair said: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” Nobody can deny the atrocities commited against PSH, due to the atrocities of nietizens punishing him deliberately not to play in any K.dramas, for so many years. Such a waste of time, such a waste for a great talented actor. And although the injustice was huge agaist him, he said that he had no regrets. But I do have a lot of regrets for him. How many K. dramas , with him playing the leading male role would have enjoyed his audience during all these years.? My rage is so deep that even now I can’t forgive all those who commited all these atrocities against him. There is a saying;”Everything comes to those who can wait.” And PSH has been waiting all these years with patience , forbearance, determination and hope the day when people will understand the injustice commited against him. The confirmation that he has been cast as the leading male role in the new K. drama “My Golden Life” means a great victory for him. He comes back to K. entertainment with courage, with confidence , with an open heart and mind. “Justice is my being allowed to do whatever I like”{Samuel Johnson]. And PSH will continue to play as he likes, with great devotion to enjoy his public. Park Si Hoo has won his fight against absurdities, and his come back is about his feeling of being able to compete again at hjigh level in K. entertainment. Yes ,he is The Hero! And his winning has touched my heart in a very positive way. I’m proud of him, I believe in him, and I support him. CONGRATULATIONS PARK SI HOO!
I only have one executive summary . Finally our support and PSH’s steely determination to come back is validated. Feeling of validation is my executive summary.
His victory is also his fans’ victory , who supported him all these years. And I think we must continue our fight even now, when evil minds will try to boycotte his come back. We must be united to counteract their mad and violent imagination.. PARK SI HOO WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOU!
Is a must our support must be stronger than before to secure the platform
Much more than before, dear Chai Hua.
Dear Stefania, I ponder deeper on your words last night and this morning. Do I have regrets for PSH for the missing out accolades or the many roles of the many dramas that ought to be his. Answer is No, I don’t have any regrets for PSH thus far. No, none. However if if he never stuck to make a come back then I would have that regret that such a gem such a special talent that can rarely be easily found in our lifetime, the loss of that gem would be my regret. Now that the things that panned out and how he stuck with gusto to fight to come back, I am just so proud of him and honestly open heartedly, I too feel no regrets. Because I believe the days he didn’t get the accolades and awards in the entertainment industry, he has gotten lots of wisdom and inner wealth. Far more than many would ever found and built up as their personal strength. And those are priceless. Therefore, NO Regrets. Truly.
Dear Chai Hua, if I were of your age , I should say the same. No regrets! During his long injust artisitic intermission in his country he could achieve more wisdom and, as he said, ” a deep thinking of my future activity”. His confidence in his talent, his determination, his stubborness have helped him win a great victory over injustice , coming back as a winner. But I regret all these days, months, years as a waste for him, because at my age I count every day, minute, second . Because at my age I think that life is one time offer, that everyone must use it fruitfully. But when some people have deliberately prevented the real course of his life, then I have regrets. Regrets for what he could have achieved during these years. Yes, he is young and his scars can heal and from now on he may count each day setting his goals to succeed. And that’s what I wish him from my heart. Good luck and success!
Stefania Lupu I fully understand your perspective. Honestly I can. Now that you have clarified further they are your regrets, not his. But then I asked if things had been sailing as what he ought to have achieved, would it have invoked your love as deep as you are now…….you and I probably would never cross our virtual path too, had it been an absolute no regrets scenario. Ok, I run now, will talk a bit more later.
ur smile
I like your great enthusiasm. I’m happy too for him without a doubt, but I am a small felling of moderation (I know that Wilma smile). Yes, it’s a wonderful thing that PSH accepted and was accepted for this role. Last year, for NH, enthusiasm and expectations were equally high, but the show did not have a big rating, although it deserves this to full. PSH has made a memorable role, which has been the source of inspiration for other actors (I have in mind some examples). But the Korean public is sensitive and hard to persuade to turn their eyes back to the one they once loved very much. So, my emotions are related to how PSH will be received at “home” this time, when the conditions of a good reception are created: a weekend series, of an important TV channel and broadcast at a reasonable hour. A good rich boy character, even if we know PSH will be charming and he will enter to the character’s skin as he only knows, will it be enough? I like to think that the screenwriter has created a much more complex role, as PSH’s versatile talent. I want for him wholeheartedly this new work to be at least as successful as TPM.
We all know how delicate and precarious PSH’s standing might be in his home ground due to prejudice. Nevertheless I can’t think of any other better way for his Come Back. Such is reality and when you cannot change the culture or society expectations, you do your best still and with sincerity and substance, these human hearts will open for him, may not be all, but any genuine human heart if willing to listen and be open minded, there is a chance. Unless PSH says bye bye to his acting career, otherwise there is no other better come back as how things are taking shape these recent days.
I’m not surprised with your response Daniela Maria Miricescu. So yes, I smile! This is who you are. Sometimes it is okay to forget about all what may not be so good and just celebrate the moment!
Dana dear, on this gorgeous moment don’t be too scrupulous with PSH’s come back. He knows that the expectations are great from his public and he will know how to make them enjoy his drama with a good rating.. And I hope his co-partners in the drama will do their best to help him . On this moment I’m optimistic and I remember Dah-An’s words , In “Family Honor”: “Nothing bad will happen to us. We have to go forward no matter how strong the winds get.” . As Chai Hua says:”…these human hearts will open for him …'”
My comment triggered reactions and I thank you. In this way I learn, find out new things and I clarify my own thoughts.
Your thoughts are always welcome dear Dana. And I thank you for your keen and profound thinking.
Daniela Maria Miricescu That’s the way to go ! We express what we honestly feel. Then when someone said something those words could or could not have an impact, either way doesn’t really matter. But when we look back, we could pin point when some turning points of our lives took place because of some words someone had said at those turning points, when we may not even realised its impact until years later. One of such huge turning point of my own journey was when my mother died which was 3 weeks before my uni entry exam, I said to my sister that I just wanted to rest as I was really exhausted emotionally and physically from taking care of my mother in the months prior. And forget about university entry exam, will repeat the study and exam the following year. My sister said why not just go into the exam, if you could answer some questions do them, if you find you are completely blank then just walk out the hall, after all, you already prepared to repeat a year, no harm just do this, no pressure to yourself. I took her advice and went to exam with that attitude that I will just do what I could, regardless. In the end, I made it without repeating a year. I even made it to the course that many of my classmates who would like very much to be admitted but they failed to meet the required results. That’s a major timing turning point of my life. My sister lived in a different city with her children and family, it was only that brief days during funeral that we met. Otherwise we were not connected as there was no phone, no internet, only snail mail. Yet such significant turning points advice happened to be spoken at the right moment.
Friends who know me personally, always blame me for being such a cool frog. Even if I’m incredibly happy, I do not really show it. You really have to read me about that! In all those years since early 2013 I never doubted PSH would return to mainstream drama one day. I just couldn’t tell when exactly, but I had that knowing and faith in my heart. Golden Cross was too early for PSH’s comeback. Although there is still a lot of negativity, which will never completely stop, circumstances have improved a lot and PSH is backed up with many successes in Japan and China since then! He is hot! He is wanted! It may not be easy, but PSH will secure his ground again through his acting in his homeland. It has always been my secret wish, don’t ask me why, that KBS would be the one to make this possible. When I look at yesterday’s cast photo I believe PSH is in good company. Together they can work on another big success with high ratings and a big celebration at the end of this year! Welcome Choi Do Kyung! Show everyone you can’t be ignored any longer!
Show the world!
I was just searching in my head while walking judt now the previous title that KBS wanted PSH back for. Yes thanks Wilma is Golden Cross as you gave me the answer. Reason I thought about it is the word Golden
Coincidence or telepathy Chai Hua? 😁
Indeed Wilma 😚😍
Wilma, I’m sure this drama wil have a big succees. And , as the scrptt writer, producer say tthat this is a family drama , being broadcasted on Saturday and Sunday,on KBS, I hope to have the same success as his family drama “Family Honor”.
Although I can’t receive Korean channels on TV, I will be able to watch online! So I’ll be able to witness the growing success week after week! I believe in its success! 🤗
Wilma van Zwietering Good morning Wilma, forgot to say yesterday that on the contrary to your cool frog demeanour, I am the loud speaker type. When Happy, I scream and jump but I only do that when the news are firm. In my lifetime, I could only count 5 fingers of such moments. Meaning they got to be really significantly big to trigger such scream and jump from me.1st one was when me and 2 other classmates our history project won the top prize of our Penang state historical project competitions at high school level. School level wins never got me that excited, it was the state level that really got me that happy. 2nd one was when our Geographical project won the 2nd prize in the national level ie whole of Malaysia schools competition. That news came after we left the school proceeded to another school for pre uni studies. The teacher contacted our next school to get us back to tell us. I remember jumping there and then to hear of the great news. 3rd one was my uni admission due to slim chance which I already mentioned. 4th one was when I actually got 1st class honours uni degree, something I never thought belong to me coz Accounting is far too technical for my whishy washy head, I was not able to demonstrate that my mind is made for dealing with those technical stuff during the 4 years study, but I finished it with a high, which I really didn’t expect. 5th one was after waiting for about a year, when Bob got into the Wine Dog Book of Australia when Bob was among the couple of hundred dogs chosen from the many thousands entries. Now PSH’s I start to use the 1st finger of my 2nd hand. And I hope to be able to use all my fingers for such type of heights of joy to scream and jump. I have a feeling PSH’s would use up several of my fingers from this day onwards.
Chai Hua Loke Sounds like me. I am a little cautious type who wants to be sure before I react. As I said before, I am no paparazzi who will be on the tail of every rumour and screaming at the top of my voice, taking no responsibility for what I say or how I act.Because I know that if anything happens to the contrary, it will be tough to unwind what is said and done and not cause negative consequences.
Parksihoossi.com precisely. Just like what I said about pregnancy. The pregnant mother usually would not go all out to tell everyone until things are more secured.
Chai Hua Loke You have yourself heard when something or someone is really valuable for you. Same goes for Nance.. It is only good not everyone is like me!
Funnily, we are all in sympatico Stefania Lupu Chai Hua Loke Daniela Maria Miricescu Wilma van Zwietering. Read my post tomorrow. A thought that popped into my head the same time as my indescribable joy.
