The preview is out for upcoming OCN drama Neighborhood Hero, the comeback drama for PD Kwak Jung Hwan after his epic fail that was Basketball, and also the comeback drama for K-actor Park Shi Hoo after his accused rape scandal nearly two years ago. I’m not quite ready to welcome Park Shi Hoo’s onscreen return but it’s happening no matter what so the question is whether I’m tempted to watch it for PD Kwak and the promise of a good story. I think the latter is tempting, the preview looks solidly interesting, and even has a superhero origin story vibe going on. I also like that it’s not a romance drama and aims to showcase justice and crime fighting from a very localized perspective. The drama posters are also nicely done, presenting the full cast in a neighborhood versus super spy setting. The drama premieres January 23rd on OCN.

I am not ready to watch him too but I will do so because I think this drama may be actually worth watching.
Park Si Hoo never disappointed me and I always enjoy his works. The Princess’ Man is one of the best sageuk drama ever and Family Honor one of the best family drama ever, both such representative for Korean culture. For me is all that counts so I’ll watch his new drama for sure.
Too bad for all of you are not ready for park Shi hoo.
But if a drama is good, I am gonna watch it and nothing like morals/ethics is going to stop me from me doing that.
Seriously? I really liked him, but I'll never watch him again. I'm not a religious person (in fact I'm very skeptical about religions) but I consider morals/ethics very important, without them we're lost. We cannot forgive a rapist "only" because he's handsome and he's our oppar. We cannot look for excuses and point our fingers to the victim. He is a rapist! If he wasnt't a celebrity, he would be in the prison. Zero tolerance for any kind of abuse against women!!!
He wasnt convicted as a rapist so, I will check his drama out. No one actually knows what happened in his home besides him and the girl. Maybe she sobered up and was okay with that and just regretted afterwards. I don't know, but if I was raped I would never settle it with some money. I would want the guy go to jail ... I believe someone is innocence until proven guilty by a court.
Bill Cosby was never convicted either, but I still can't stand to see his face in anything now, knowing what he was accused of. Normally I don't care what celebrities do in their private lives but I draw the line as a viewer at cases like this, Cosby or Roman Polanski.
Cosby scandal made me feel puking when I read his news. Still hard to believe what he had done.
So agree, Gina. There's a list I've got, that unfortunately keeps growing, of people I just can't bear to watch because I know too many sordid details about their personal life. Cosby and Roman Polanski are on the list, as is Woody Allen. For K-Ent, I won't watch LBH (he really gives me the creeps) or now PSH. With PSH it's no great loss, he's not really that great of an actor anyway, and the new plastic surgery he is sporting will no doubt make his face even less mobile.
Couldn't they have picked another white dress for her in the 2nd poster? That dress looks too blocky to me, and her neck, which is very pretty, can do without that type of collar. But otherwise it's a good poster.
I liked him as an actor before knowing his scandal. Now, I don't have much interest in watching him, not because of his infamous scandal but because I'm gradually losing my desire to watch K dramas in general. LOL..I found a new love - C or T drama. Anyway, did his scandal ever have any impact on his career as a leading man? It seems no.
I think you made a typo Koala, it's Neighborhood RAPIST not HERO!
who in there right mind would watch a rapist trying to be a hero? he caeer hae gone down hill after his rap scandal.
if he were that horny. why not just pay a hooker? why even drug the woman. just so he can have a quick sex.
Park Si-Hoo is not going to keep me from watching this OCN thriller with some of my favorite actors. I love the cast of this drama; I only wish Lee Soo-Hyuk was the lead, and PSH second lead.
