Park Shi-hoo plays the rebel millionaire in Queen of Reversals
by | October 13, 2010 | 59 Comments

It appears that Park Shi-hoo‘s bad-boy chaebol character in Queen of Reversals is somewhat modeled after scene-stealer Tae-bong (played by Yoon Sang-hyun) of the original Queen of Housewives, even if the stories are completely different. Park’s arrogant Gu Yong-shik is the youngest son in a chaebol family, and, as befits spoiled younger sons, has the rebellious attitude to go with that position.

One point of similarity between the two dramas (other than star actress Kim Nam-joo) is that it is set within the Queens Food corporation, which is the company that Gu Yong-shik stands to inherit. (In Housewives, Tae-bong was the indifferent chaebol CEO of Queens Foods. The rest of the cast jockeyed for position and power within the corporate family.)

With Yong-shik’s haughty, indifferent personality, Park explained that he’ll “ruin” his image a little, departing from the cool characters he’s played previously to become the spoiled brat here.

Queen of Reversals will take the MBC Monday-Tuesday slot recently vacated by Dong Yi, and airs its first episode next week on October 18.

    Ahh….it’s strange to see Ma Hye Ri and Seo In Woo in different dramas. And they both air on the same day (but not the same timeslot).

    Anyways, this will be interesting. I wonder how bratty he’s going to be. Hopefully it’ll be in a likeable, Gu Jun Pyo-ish manner.

    One last comment…why is he SO PALE? His skin contrasts with the black outfit he has on so much. Haha.

  5. Dele

    I’d like to be on the back of his bike and ride off with him:). I’m loking forward to him being bad and spoiled.

  6. readergirl

  15. 15 Steph

    He so fine …. that is all.

  16. 16 shiedo

    Park Shi Hoo is one versatile actor. All I can say is he made a good decision in accepting a role that is entirely different from his image. GOOD JOB !!! :)

  17. 17 jandoe

    dude that man looks smokin’ here

  18. 18 faye

    One word. HOOOOTTT.

  20. 20 kaedejun

    HE’S MINE!!! MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!

    :D

    i also hope ma hye ri calls him up and he says that since she changed her number without his knowledge, he decided to change his identity (again).

    and i also hope that when he looks sad, he will have a better expression than the moony eyes to the sky ;)

    • 20.1 JiHwan

      MUAHAHAH!!

      I laughed so hard when Seo In woo called asking for Ma Hye Ri in Dr. Champ!

    • 20.2 missjb

      NO! He’s MINE! lol

      btw… can’t wait o see Ma hyeri’s cameo in QOR, too!!! and i like your idea, LOL

      yesss and he should has better expression when he is sad…

      oh mannnnn other than, he looks really hot in That PICS! <3

  21. 21 Laeah

    I’m jealous of the motorcycle. :\

  22. 22 missjb

    awwwww love him so much!!!
    can’t wait to see him in Queen of Reversal

  23. 23 sleeplessinwgtn

    I think the “youngest son in a chaebol family, and, as befits spoiled younger sons, has the rebellious attitude” role fits him to a T

    He had that air in the first few episodes of PP.

    • 23.1 sleeplessinwgtn

      And he looks really *hot* with sunnies on.

      • 23.1.1 Laeah

        And leather. P:

  24. 24 peanut butter

    of course they take advantage of how extremely HOT he is in shades. the guy can rock ‘em no matter what role he plays!

    the park shi-hoo+shades combo will never fail to make me melt/swoon/drool!

  25. 25 Tracy T.

    oh yeah! I’m so looking forward to watch PSH in a bad-boy chaebol role…man…the guy is HOT!

    Also love to see KSY returns his favor and cameo for QoR!

  26. 26 Q & A

    yeah…I laughed more than I squealed…so it came out as a snort, however I don’t think this will actually “ruin” his image, not with this wardrobe for this spoiled character…

  27. 27 aisuzieya

    he’s mine!!!!!! hahha;p i wont miss the drama for anything! i’ll jus watch his scenes over & over again. sexyness overload!

  28. 28 kaedejun

      Hahahaha. Pinoy humor there for you. :D

      P.S. I do wish that he gets into trouble, and his prosecutor will be Ma Hye Ri. I wonder how she would react to that! LOL! :D

  30. 30 row.an

    and PSH is pretty easy on the eyes as well ;p

  31. 31 Aya

    • 31.1 Momo

      LOL…just LOL…

      Let me know if you find out where… :)

  32. 32 Gladys

    @sleeplessinwgtn,

    I totally agree with your comment, “He had that air in the first few episodes of PP.”
    Ha.ha I suppose you still can’t forget Seo In Woo?

    BTW, does anyone know the whereabouts of the filming site for this drama? I want to stalk PSH as I’ll be in Seoul from the end of October till the first week of November.

    I couldn’t finish season one because I disliked the main character… which was a shame, because I liked quite a lot about the drama.

    But the main character – I couldn’t like her, even though she was clearly meant to be the main figure of identification viewers. Just – the flashbacks to her cruel, superficial and vindictive high-school self made me hate her and feel with the ugly duckling, and nothing ever changed that; there was no development shown for Kim Nam-joo’s character to explain she was no longer that person, no remorse on her part, nothing.

      Eeek, sorry for the double posting… I forgot my name the first time and thought I’d stopped it in time.

  35. 35 missjb

    sorry @kaedejun, can’t help it… PSH own me lol

    @sleeplessinwgtn I completely agree with u….

    @Sylvia, is she (the main character) really that bad?

    • 35.1 Sylvia

      Well, she’s clearly meant to be sympathetic, and in the time the series actually takes place in she’s a nice woman. If it hadn’t been for the flashbacks, and the fact that there is no visible development at all to get her from “cruel, victimizing and extremely unlikable high-school bully” to the “sympathetic warm-hearted heroine”, AND the fact the her primary victim is her adversary in the time of the series, too…

      But there are those flashbacks. She repeatedly, cruelly and systematically demeaned the other girl in school, intentionally breaking down her self-esteem… and there’s nothing to show that she is sorry, or in some way feels remorse, nothing. Even less is there any sign of how she went from the highly unpleasant bully she was then to the warm person she is now portrayed as.

      So, yeah. I was rooting for the other woman the entire time, simply because she’d been mentally abused by the main character in school, and I felt it’d only be right if she got her own back.

      But the series did not intend for me to dislike Kim Nam-joo’s character – that was very clear – and that’s why in the end, it failed for me. Which I do regret; I liked many other things about the series. I just thought that the adversary should have been painted as the heroine. ;-)
