Queen Of Reversals: Pulling heartstrings

He pulled hard at our heartstrings

CELEBRATING THE 12TH ANNIVERSARY OF PARK SIHOO-SSI’S “QUEEN OF REVERSALS”! 

庆祝施厚君的“逆转女王”第12周年！

Talk about Park Sihoo-ssi’s Goo Yongsik in MBC’s “Queen of Reversals” and the first thing that comes to mind is how comical he was. However, he was much more than that. He had a knack for pulling heartstrings!

He was obnoxiously loveable. He made us laugh at his antics and expressions. And he made us angry at his flippant behavior, especially looking down upon the “beta” people and wasting his life away.

A poor, rich boy who grew up without love

But more so, he pulled at all our heartstrings as a poor little rich boy who grew up unloved and neglected. He was the illegitimate brat, slighted by his father’s legitimate family. And while his father cared, his focus was building his chaebol empire leaving his son to fend for himself among the wolves of the legitimate family.

As can be expected, the little lost and lonely boy grew up yearning for love and became a jaded, flippant man. Or this was how he wanted the world to perceive him. However, he suffered inside, with no one to turn to to share his thoughts and hurts, except maybe his male secretary and growing up playmate.

Goo pulled at our heartstrings

Love crept on on him in the form of another hurt, but strong being. And their relationship was also another thing that moved us and pulled at our heartstrings.  

Want to know more of this bittersweet romance?  Watch or relive “Queen of Reversals” again on its twelve anniversary! It’s goo-ing to be so moving, your heartstrings will get pulled so hard, left, right and centre!

逆转女王：牵动心弦

谈起MBC的电视剧“逆转女王”中，施厚君饰演的具勇植，首先想到的就是他的搞笑。然而，他远不止这。他有拉动心弦的诀窍！

他是令人又讨厌又可爱的小开，让我们狂笑他的滑稽动作和表情。让我们对他轻浮的行为感到愤怒，尤其是看不起“贝塔beta”的人群和浪费他自己的宝贵人生。

But deeply hurt and lonely inside

但更多的是，他的不受爱戴和被忽视的情况下长大的贫穷的富家男孩，触动了所有观众的心弦。他是一个私生子，被父亲的正式家人轻视。虽然有父亲的关怀，但父亲注重建立他的财阀帝国，把儿子在正式家人的狼群中自生自灭。

不出所料，这个向往爱，但在失落孤独的过程中长大的小男孩，变成了一个厌倦、轻率的男人。或者这就是他要让世界看到的他吧。然而，他内心很痛苦，除了他的男秘书和一起成长的玩伴之外，他没有其人可以分享他的想法和痛苦的。

So emotionally moving

爱以另一位受伤但坚强的女人的形式悄悄地走入他的身旁。而他们的恋爱也是“逆转女王”中另一个让观众感动、触动我们心弦的关系。

想知道更多这苦乐参半的浪漫吗？在“逆转女王”的第十二周年之时，请再次观看或重温该剧呗！太令人激动了，把大家的心弦拉得好紧好紧啊！
