Interesting interview on Queen of Reversals
CELEBRATING THE 11TH ANNIVERSARY OF PARK SIHOO-SSI’S “QUEEN OF REVERSALS”!
庆祝施厚君的“逆转女王”第11周年！
This week, we celebrate the eleventh anniversary of Park Sihoo-ssi’s drama “Queen of Reversals”. The drama which he started off being the second male lead but ended up turning the table to become the leading man who won the leading lady.
As most fans would know, the road to his success never ran smooth. It took him ten years of obscurity and tiny roles before he finally got a break as the male lead in “Family Honor”, then going on to “Prosecutor Princess”. But the latter’s ratings weren’t great so he had to bite the bullet and take on the secondary lead role in “Queen of Reversals”. And he made it “King of Reversals” and got himself back to the top.
He did an interview at the theatre where he watched the final episode of “Queen of Reversals” with his fans like he did for “Prosecutor Princess”.
Guess Goo is the bright spark in Queen of Reversals?
Here’s an extract from the interview.
How do you feel watching the final episode with fans?
I think watching the final episode with fans really touches my heart. I like it because it will become a happy memory for me.
There are many fans here. How do you feel?
I am thankful to fans who flew from overseas like Japan and Thailand specially to cheer me on. I am so touched. Now even grandfathers and grandmothers recognize me. Recently from young people to older adults have been sending me lots of love. I am amazed and very thankful.
“Queen of Reversals” kept getting extended. Was it difficult?
It was like doing two dramas. Honestly, the filming was really taxing. It was like being drunk with an hour of sleep every three days. It was a really tough decision to extend the drama from 20 to 30 episodes. But our team’s synergy was good, and the chemistry between the actors was good, so we were able to finish the drama in good spirits. If there was one downside, it was that I have filmed the drama for so long that I think it will be difficult for me to break out of the role of Yongsik.

In this drama you have a new nickname. What do you think are your best traits?
I think it reflects favorably for working hard on my role. In “Queen of Reversals”, in the beginning my character was cute, and then in the later part, I had sadder scenes, with many scenes where I got to confess my love. I think fans responded well to the sadness in my character. Maybe because they felt sorry for me? (Laugh). Personally, I like the nickname “꼬픈남” (man women want to seduce” best. I will work hard in my future projects, to keep up with the rising expectation of fans.
How was your chemistry with your co-star Kim Namjoo?
Filming for a long time with Kim Namjoo sunbae 선배 made me realize that she is a very warm person. I learnt a lot from watching her and she looked after everyone, from the cast to the staff. I think we were able to produce a good drama of over 30 episodes because we worked well together. I am thankful for that.
Your final kiss scene became a strong subject of conversation.
When we filmed the final kiss scene, the director was crying. He said, “When you cried, your genuine emotions shone through and it made me cry too.” I was so grateful for his words.
Listen to what he has to say
From the start of the drama your character’s fashion was on display. Do you have a personal style?
I like sunglasses and scarves. I used many of my own sunglasses during the filming of the drama. I like to use fashion like a prop.
What genre do you want to tackle for your next project?
I want to try something that I’ve never experienced before. A manly role in a noir film would be good. I have also often been told that I will make a good vampire, so I want to try that too. Should I try a horror movie this summer? Haha!
Who is the most memorable fan you met today?
She is someone with a physical disability who came all this way, and even brought me a present. I have such a warm feeling today. I feel so much precious love I want to keep working hard to give back more.
Do you have any goals for the new year?
“Queen of Reversals” went on for a long stretch and my fans cheered me on without rest, so I am grateful. I think for an actor, the saying that you “reap what you sow” isn’t exactly right. I think it is more like, “You have to work hard to reach that critical point, and only then will the results start showing. So you can work hard until you reach 99%, but if you don’t work towards that last 1%, everything from 0 to 99% could go to waste. I will always try my hardest to show you my best.”

逆转女王: 施厚君的专访
这周，我们庆祝施厚君的电视剧“逆转女王”播出的第11 周年。在剧的·一开始，他是男二，但最后却成为男主，并夺得了女主。
大多数粉丝都知道，他的成功之路从来都不是一帆风顺的。他花了十年的默默无闻的存在，只当小角色，然后终于在“家门的荣光”有机会当上男主，之后继续“检察官公主”的男一。但后者的收视率并不佳，所以他在“逆转女王”中是扮演男二的角色。但因为他的努力，做了个“逆转之王”，重新登上了男主之席。
他和粉丝们一起观看了“逆转女王”的最后一集，就像“检察官公主”那样。他在电影院接受了采访，这里分享采访的摘录。
和粉丝一起观看最后一集感觉如何？
我觉得和粉丝一起观看最后一集真的很触动我的心房。我喜欢，因为这会成为我快乐的回忆。
这里来了很多粉丝。你觉得怎么样？
非常感谢从日本、泰国等海外特地飞来为我加油打气的粉丝们。我非常的感动。现在连爷爷奶奶都认得我了。最近年轻人到老年人一直给我送来很多的爱。我很惊讶也很感谢。
No holds barred
“逆转女王”不断延长。感到困难吗？
就像拍了两部电视剧。老实说，拍摄真的很费力，就像喝醉了每三天睡一个小时一样。将这部剧从 20 集延长到 30 集是一个非常艰难的决定。但是我们团队的配合很好，演员之间的化学反应也很好，所以我们能够以良好的精神完成这部剧。如果说有一个缺点，就是拍了这么久的电视剧，我觉得自己很难摆脱勇植的这个角色。
在这部剧中，你有了一个新绰号。你认为你的优点是什么？
我认为这很好地反映了我在角色上的努力。 “逆转女王”一开始时，我的角色很可爱，到了后期，我的场景变得更悲伤，有很多我得表白的场景。我认为粉丝们对我的人物的悲伤反应很好。也许是因为她们为我感到难过？ （笑）。就我个人而言，我最喜欢“꼬픈남”（女人想勾引的男人）这个绰号。我会在未来的项目中努力，以不辜负粉丝们对我不断上升的期望。
你和搭档金南珠的化学反应如何？
和金南珠前辈선배一起拍戏，让我意识到她是一个很温暖的人。我从观看她的过程中学到了很多，她会照顾每一个人，从演员到工作人员。我认为我们能够制作出一部超过 30 集的好剧是因为我们合作得很好。我很感激。
你最后的吻戏成为了一个关键的话题。
当我们拍最后的吻戏时，导演哭了。他说：“当你哭的时候，你的真情流露了出来，所以我也哭了。”我很感激他的这番话。
Hear again what Park Sihoo-ssi said years ago
从剧一开始，你的角色的时尚就被展示了出来。你有个人风格吗？
我喜欢太阳眼镜和围巾。在拍摄这部剧的过程中，我使用了很多自己的太阳镜。我喜欢制作的时尚风格用来当道具一样。
在下一个项目，你想担任那种类型的人物？
我想尝试一些我以前从未体验过的角色。在黑色电影中扮演一个有男子气概的角色会很好。经常有人告诉我，我会扮演很好的吸血鬼，所以我也想尝试一下。今年夏天我是否应该尝试一部恐怖电影呢？哈哈哈！
你今天遇到的最难忘的粉丝是谁？
她是一位老远过来参加，还给我带来了礼物，身体残疾的粉丝。今天我感觉到好温暖。感受到如此珍贵的爱，我会继续努力以回馈更多。
新的一年你有什么目标吗？
“逆转女王”持续了很长时间，而粉丝们一直在那为我加油打气，所以我很感激。我认为对于演员来说，“一劳永逸”的说法并不完全正确。我认为更像是，“你必须努力工作才能达到那个临界点，只有这样结果才会开始显现。所以你可以努力工作直到你达到 99%，但如果你不努力达到最后的 1%，从 0 到 99% 的一切都可能浪费掉。我会一直尽我最大的努力向大家展示我最好的一面。“
