Starting with the 2015 drama ‘ Marriage Contract’ with the leads who rarely let us look at any other actor, I watched this one character with awe.. Park Ho joon! The aide who works with the whims of his employer. Nothing new here. What was new for me were his facial expressions!
Without being a stand alone figure, he is a perfect supportive star. I have stopped listing his shows, they are many. Till ‘Business Proposal’ & ‘Our Blues’.
Watching his earlier, ‘Diary of a Prosecutor’ with Lee Sang kyun, as Prosecutor Hong I recalled his body of work. Prosecutor with stomach ulcer he is uncomfortable & finally collapses on the stairs of the building.
Starting with a small role given in 1999 by his fellow Busan local friend in ‘Dr K’, he never looked back. ‘Friend’ gave him box office success in 2001. TV, films & reality shows he has tried his hand at everything, successfully.
Lighting up the screen by their presence, all the supportive actors are the unsung heroes of every successful drama.
