Scandal is a loaded word, for some K-netizens it connotes something as inconsequential as a star dating news, yet in recent years there have been a series of male star scandals of the serious variety involving accusations, police investigations, and even lawsuits and trails. I feel like Park Shi Hoo‘s rape allegations in early 2013 really kicked off this prolonged period of continued bad behavior being revealed about stars, and it’s pretty telling that he’s going to be back on a main three network weekend drama with My Golden Life and it doesn’t even seem all that surprising because there have been worse behavior alleged since his situation.
I don’t believe in not giving people second chances but that typically is when someone pays the dues for the misconduct, and in his case there are folks who believe he got off light without any real punishment, unless you think being exiled from K-ent for 5 years at the height of his popularity isn’t punishment enough. If he’s going to be accepted back by the drama viewing audience this is as good a drama as any, with a total feel good vibe and the sprawling weekend cast where folks can watch his portion of the story alongside many others. The drama costars Shin Hye Sung, Lee Tae Hwan, Seo Eun Soo, Lee Tae Sung, and veterans Chun Ho Jin and Kim Hye Ok for a family underdog success and maturation story.

Meh. There was cctv footage of him dragging an unconscious girl in his hotel suite. After that, the things that happened in his room were under debate but the girl’s account was clear and consistent. Park Shi Hoo opted out for settling things outside the court. Park Shi Hoo’s rich daddy got him too many chances in the entertainment industry, and I have no interest in watching a guy who drags an unconscious girl in hotel room and then get sued for raping her.
I like to watch a drama without the scandal of a seedy male star over my head. I can still remember the image of him carrying the drunk girl to his home. And she was in distress after. She is such a young early twenty woman and he should know better as a adult.
Sorry I cannot watch this drama even thru I am sure he is repenting. I am glad if he is turning over a new leaf but I cannot watch him on any shows any more.
Park Shi Hoo really thought that he could pay his victim into silence and then bow in a press-con and suddenly everyone would forgive and forget. I hope this drama flops really hard so this disgusting creep, who drags unconscious girl to hotel room, would never be cast in any dramas ever again.
I wonder if the Koreans are really ready for him to be on screen again? Rating will tell us....
One bow and all is forgiven? he should kowtow like a thousand times, touching the ground with his forehead until it bleeds. And still I could not forgive nor forget what he "probably" did.
I used to think he is dreamy looking esp in "Iljimae" but I don't know why I don't like his look now. Could be his personal issue clouded my vision? I am definitely not ready to watch him back playing a chaebol that will eventually get the girl, so this drama is definitely a pass to me.
How did this person get a prime time TV male lead role after all that he has done??? Gobsmacked!!!
His rich and influential daddy got him more than just roles in dramas for him.
He's such a sleaze. Is 5 years enough to erase what he did?? He wasn't even punished and used money to settle the problem. The drama looks interesting enough but I can't watch him cos his real life bleeds into the role. Even watching him stand next to female co stars gives me the creeps.
If we are not going to watch the drama because of him, then we are penalising the rest of the cast and the crew. That's unfair for them . And let's be honest, people can start to ban 50% of the past and actual music , the same goes for movies,...And i'm being kind ! So yes ,he did wrong but unfortunately he's not the only one. Sad but true.
Ignoring the texts this girl sent to a friend planning on sleeping with him and screwing with him she could have pretended to be drunk or maybe he carried her on her back because she couldn't walk. At the end of the day he was never proven guilty so anything both you and I can say will be just speculation. In the eyes of the law he is innocent
She could have done whatever or pretended. But if he didn't know that and he physically took advantage of that he is an opportunistic scumbag. As evidenced in the video.
And yes I am totally bummed because I like the actress in her last 2 Kdramas. I know work is work but imagining being close for this 50 episode drama is revolting. For her sake- hope the BTS doesn't show any chemistry or accidental skinships that fans love. That would be truly repelling. Just work on that drama and treat him distantly I say.
Again you are making assumptions on his reason to carry her back to his place after she passed out. Maybe he was gonna let her sleep his bed while he slept on the couch. Maybe she woke up when they got to his place.
These are all maybes and all assumptions. We have no evidence of what happened inside his house. Just what he said and what she says and more importantly until proven guilty he is innocent in the eyes of the law.
Innocent in the eyes of the law does not makes one any less guilty. Who is guilty and who is innocent, only they themselves know. Hopefully he really repented and start anew.
No. A rich ass who the law pardons for he can afford it are the ones that i really hate. They represents what's wrong with our society. Life is unfair and unjust. Everytime i look at this prick I'm reminded of that.... That you can go above the law if you can afford it.
My point exactly.
I find him utterly repellent. I feel sorry for the crew, but... I can't help but hope the drama tanks. (Or that the writer would mimic Princess Aurora's and unceremoniously kill off his character. ^^)
Pass.
