“Wind, Cloud and Rain (King Maker: Change of Destiny) 바람과 구름과 비”, Park Sihoo’s first step as Kingmaker with his “fatal aura”

In “Wind, Cloud and Rain (King Maker: Change of Destiny) 바람과 구름과 비” Park Sihoo grabbed the attention of the home theatre as he took his first step as a “Kingmaker” with his fiercely shining eyes and a determined look.

In TV Chosun drama “Wind, Cloud and Rain (King Maker: Change of Destiny) 바람과 구름과 비” (Written by Bang Jiyoung and directed by Yoon Sangho), Park Sihoo plays the role of Choi Cheonjung, Joseon’s best tactician and physiognomy. Born with a silver spoon from a prestigious family, he was exiled when his family fell from power, but he later rose again to the height of power. In Episode 7 of “Wind, Cloud and Rain (King Maker: Change of Destiny) 바람과 구름과 비” ” which was aired on 7 June 2020, Park Sihoo mesmerized viewers as Choi Cheonjung when he proudly expressed his opinion with fearless eyes, even in front of the King who was looking down on him coldly.

After escaping from prison, Choi Cheonjung proudly visited the residence of the Kim family in Jangdong and pointed out Lee Jaehwang (played by Park Sanghoon), son of Lee Haeung (played by Jeon Kwangryul), as the Crown Prince. Choi Cheon-jung, who was taken to the palace, said to King Cheoljong (played by Jung Wook) who looked down on him coldly, “I am trying to save Your Majesty’s life.” And he added, “I will help the one you want to succeed. That is the way your Highness can live forever.” Without hesitation, he revealed his thoughts and made King Cheoljong smile.

Ssangkwang was caught by Chae Inkyu (played by Sung Hyuk) and failed to steal the confession (that was made earlier and which confessed to collaboration of treason with Lee Hajeon) by Choi Cheonjung. Choi Cheonjung was led by Im Jonggwan (played by Huh Taehee) to the residence of Lee Hajeon (played by Eru). Lee Hajeon  was angry with Choi Cheonjung because he named Lee Jaehwang, the son of Heungseon Daewongun, as the the Crown Prince. Choi Cheonjung had to fight with Yeon Chiseong (played by Im Hyunsoo), the most skilled swordsman of Joseon.

However, Choi Cheonjung threw down the sword and gave up the fight and said, “Use Heungseon’s son Jaehwang as a puppet of a great man. Survive behind this shield and become King”.  Eventually, Lee Hajeon was swayed by Choi Cheonjung and he sent Yeon Chiseong, and he successfully retrieved the confession from Chae Inkyu. Choi Cheonjung overcame another crisis and won hearts with his wise talk.

Meanwhile, Choi Cheonjung met with Lee Haeung, the Heungseon Daewongun and a member of the royal family. He was angry that his son was threatened by the Jangdong Kim family because of Choi Cheonjung’s prophesy. When asked why he pointed out his son, Choi Cheonjung confidently answered, “How long do you think a tiger can keep a low profile?” He added, “It is a strange country where a family can monopolize all wealth and power and tyrannizes (the people).  I am going to build it right and establish a true King.”

The stand-off with Lee Haeung saw a bullet fired

However, Lee Haeung shocked Choi Cheonjung with his unexpected remarks that he had decided to kill Choi Cheonjung before the Jangdong Kims. Lee Haeung took out a musket and aimed the gun at Choi Cheonjung. He revealed his misunderstanding of Choi Cheonjung, when he said, “The Jangdong Kims have found an excellent driver to divide the royal relatives.”

Just then, Lee Bongryeon (played by Ko Sunghee), who came to find Choi Cheonjung, appeared and she blocked Lee Haeung. Surprised, Lee Haeung, without realizing it, pulled the trigger and the misfired bullet penetrated Choi Cheonjung’s shoulder and also brushed Lee Bongryeon’s arm. Distracted, Lee Bongryeon fell off the cliff and Choi Cheonjung’s desperate cry over Lee Bongryeon’ fall raised the tension.

Charisma shining through

In this regard, Park worked hard for 60 minutes with an overwhelming aura, with a solemn and a determined look when facing the King and gave out an explosive cry in the face of a crisis involving his beloved.

Viewers responded by saying, “I am impressed by the expressive and unrestricted expressions of Park Sihoo!”, “Park Sihoo’s acting is really amazing”, “I can feel the tension, thanks to Park Sihoo,” and “I am immersed in Park Sihoo’s charm.”

“Wind, Cloud and Rain (King Maker: Change of Destiny) 바람과 구름과 비” is broadcast every Saturday and Sunday at 2250h, Korean time.
