Park Ki-woong is keeping his schedule packed, what with him currently at work on the upcoming Full House 2 and now also confirming the KBS drama Bridal Mask, aka Gaksital. That’s the sageuk-hero period piece which stars Joo-won as the hero; Park will take on his opposition.
In the drama, Park will play Shunji, a Japanese martyr. Since the hero is a freedom fighter, naturally that makes them enemies during a volatile time — the 1930s — when Korea was struggling for independence from the Japanese occupation. The lead character embarks on his heroic exploits wearing a bridal mask, which gives him a dual identity; mild-mannered by day, badass by night.
According to Park’s reps, he decided to take the drama because he’d worked with director Yoon Sung-shik in the past on 2009′s smart revenge-caper thriller Story of a Man. I’d say that’s a good call; that drama was sharply directed and also marked Park’s career turning point when he shed his goofy, lightweight image and went all-in to play an autistic genius.
Park has really expanded his range since then, and while I’m not that excited to watch Full House 2, I just got a lot more interested in Bridal Mask. It airs in May.

Totally interested in Bridal Mask!
Is it just me, or does PKW look exceptionally good with blonde hair?
He does in fact rock the blond hair very well
I agree. I first saw him in that ridiculous commercial, then “Story of a Man”. I absolutely adore this fearless guy. I love that blonde hair too!
Omg you didn’t like the commercial?
Every time I see a piece about him pussycatdolls -Don’tcha
Automatically plays in my head, next thing I know I’m semi-consciously mimicking his dance moves lmao claaaaasic.
I love love love Story of a man! one of my all time favs.
I hope this cutie lands a lead soon, he’s way due for one.
I think my second lead disease has already started. Baddie (in a sense)…Hot Baddie … *unf*
Same here! Love the commercial…infact i would love to see him play a character like that…i am tired of watching him all quiet and simple. shy guy!
He fits the idol image well with it
yes, the blonde hair has upped his hotness even more.
Awesome! It sounds goo and I abosolutely LOVED Story of a Man so Im expecting great things
yay! finally he’s in something that i’m almost certain will be successful ratings wise.
At least this means his hair will go back to black.
…
And on a less vainer note, back to a serious drama.
First reaction: Whoa!
That hair is redic.
Wait he’s in Full House 2? Is No Min Woo still in it?
yea, noh min woo is the lead.
Yay!! Park Ki Woong!!! Story of a Man was the first drama I had ever seen with him, and he was wonderful in that, so him re-teaming with the director for Bridal Mask is making me excited!
And I really hope he keeps the blonde hair. He looks great in it.
OMG. Park Ki-woong AND Director Yoon Sung-shik?!?!
Hell yeah I’m watching this.
WHOOOOO!!!! LOOOKING FORWARD TO THISSSS!!
I can’t wait to watch this because of Joo Won and Park Ki Woong (I saw him in that dramas “Love & Marriage” & “Story of A Man”) ~ He really look very super cool.
in the familiar sentiments of this site.
Why so cute Park Ki Woong?
Yay Joo Won and Park Ki Woong! I already know I’m gonna love this drama. It’s gonna be my addiction after What’s Up~
May??? why it have to start on May? *sigh
exams galore
and yet i will still end up watching it 
MY Park Ki-woong.
Now I’m more curious about the female lead.
I first saw him in The Musical and really like him. I watched him in that horror movie Someone Behind You and he was good in that too.
I like his range. I’m not gonna touch Full House 2 (I didn’t like the original) but I will go in for Bridal Mask! it sounds awesome.
I’m excited! I really loved him in The Musical! Can’t wait to see more of what he can do as an actor! Hwaiting~! Please drama don’t disappoint me.
FULL HOUSE 2? I’M NOT THAT INTERESTED, BY SEEING THE FASION SENSE? & THE HAIR? NO-NO ! ;d
But anyways, I WILL LOVE TO SEE BRIDAL MASK.
<3<3
Excited for this news. Jest remembered of his acting in Chuno. He’s just charming there..
I didn’t expect the blond hair and was shocked, but he rocks it pretty well. I’m stoked!
This actor just gives me the creeps… in a good way! When he laughs (or rather smirks), I feel like he’s planning to kill someone (like his character in Chuno!). My image of him is the role he had as a killer/assassin/demon (see Someone Behind You). What more can I say? He’s a promising actor!
)
He looks dashing with blonde hair! Looking forward to Bridal Mask!
-what else could i write?
i will follow you every step (of being an actor)
