i love to read each comments, however, i have to say why are we casting stones at him? Who among us hasn't done anything horrendous??? I don't know the story because i was never there...it is bad either ways what happened to both parties, but who are we to judge? It seems this will be on his head forever, so why do we add more criticism to him. If people are willing to work with him, it means they are looking past his PAST. WE SHOULD DO THE SAME. IF GOD CAN FORGIVE, WHY CAN WE NOT? Let's look at our own selves before we throw stones at another. I have done some bad stuff in the past that will be on my head forever, but i was forgiven, i forgave myself and God forgave me. I still think about it and try to forget, but i try harder to move past it because We are human and we make dumb mistakes. I want someone here to tell ne the most dumbest and stupidest mistake they have made that is worse than this? Of course, you will not say the real truth, because you don't want to be judged. There are people who do worse. Let's separate his personal life from his professional. I am a feminist and DO NOT SUPPORT ABUSE IN ANY FORM AS I was in a grassroot organization against women being abused. So i know what i am saying. I like the story line and he is a fine actor. The media always portray people in a bad light in other to get more money. So i am on neither side becuase i dont know who is telling the truth...even though, allegations might be thrown around....i am not his fan but i like some of his work. I will watch the drama based on the PD's line of work regardless of the actor. But, please let's not be mean and ruthless. He has suffered enough and so has the victim. Whenever we talk about him know that the victinm too might be seen in a bad light by his fans. Let's be considerate and forgive both the actor and the victim for those who are choosing sides. If Jesus can die for our sins, why can we not forgive and move on.
Peace, all.

Will watch. Thanks for the update.

I can't believe Park Shi Hoo has been cast in a show about crime fighting. What a joke. I feel bad for his victim. To see her rapist be cast in this kind of role after what he did to her must be so traumatizing for her. :/ The network should be ashamed of themselves. The comments on it here are a damn mess. All this victim blaming in the comments is absolutely disgusting.

I must add my obligatory whinging about OCN not putting out a sequel for Vampire Prosecutor 2. I need answers!! How long will they make us wait?

Neighborhood Hero sounds interesting but I'll pass on it.

Yikes, I knew the comments would be a bloodbath. I personally loved PSH as an actor and can still appreciate his craft in past roles, but I'm not so sure I can go in to a new project positively after everything that's happened.

Park Shi Who?

Him as a hero? Am not that enough rational to watch a guy on my screen as Hero fighting justice when he buried secretr with his wealth! For the life of me, i will never let this fact go that he called himself Innocent and yet settled it out of court! Not all innocents do that. Rapists are rapists just like the fact that sexual intercourse without mutual consent is Termed RAPE whoever the victim-male/female!

How come S-Korea is SHORT OF GREAT ACTORS?? Aren't there good hard-working actors waiting for their chance? To think 16 hrs of my life watching a definitely unfit man as Hero?! Not my choice. Even if i am paid to watch!!

There is a CCTV recording where the girl is being dragged unconsciously by his assistant/henchmen/minion while he walking in front of them. Try to search a case where a high school girl raped by her senior in US. In the beginning, she tried to brush it off and even blame herself. Eventually she realized that raped is a crime and she is a victim. Try to use your brain and read some of these : http://gawker.com/tag/senior-salute

The reasoning probably kinda similar, she should have been grateful that PSH dick consider her worthy to be drilled into like how these highschool girls should think they’re honored to be raped by her seniors. Maybe when the perpetrator is not the figure you wish to f*ck you can understand more what a rape is.

I know he was guilty but what kind of girl goes out alone with 2 guys and get that drunk. She probably wants to get lay by these 2 guys. But three some. EWWW !!! Gross. All of these 3 people are screw in the head. All of them are guilty in my opinion. I will still give this drama a chance because I like the writer and I don't judge anyone and their private life.

PSH still has a career ?! He is cast to play hero vigilante ?! Wuuuuut? The only thing worse would be to cast him in a rom com, tbh. yuuuk!!!!

What's next ? Casting KHJ as a leading officer in Anti Domestic Violence Police Force?

We really don't know whether he raped her or they slept their own. In this era it is difficult to find who is telling the truth or who is lying. anyhow things has happened just let them go. no need to held grudge against anyone, he and she must have suffered lot because of this incident, may be PSH has suffered much.he wouldn't dare to do it again. forgiving is the best. welcome him that's all, it is simple.i am not his fan but i like his acting in iljimae and Princess's man.

I really like OCN dramas but I don't think I can watch it because of him :/

I have never liked Park Shi Hoo. His eyes give me the heebie jeebies. Like the director, but not enough to overcome my PSH allergy.

Gonna pass. No great loss.

bad review makers!! What you know about him? PSH innocent !! watch your language! only wait.. he will prove himself to acting.. Sihoo great acting and person .. Ms. A slander him..

I'm scared of him -_- and I'm scared of myself for fall into him again, I hate him so much. As much as I loved him. I hope he would never appear on screen again.

Hmmmm i was curious as to whether people would be talking about the rape and they are. Very much.
I honestly don't have a side in this because one thing I've learned from watching these scandals unfold you just don't know if what is out there is true or false or both. Just look at KHJ case.
Im thinking yes maybe she was raped horrible.
but im also wondering was she kidnapped from where she was or did she consent to leave with them.
Maybe she did, and if they went back to his place, maybe he raped her unconscious, which i dunno how that works if you're not any drugs and just drunk wouldn't you know someone was ontop of you and thus somehow conscious. But i don't know about that since ive never been dead drunk though ive come pretty close. Just wondering.
Or she may have been drunk then sobered and gave permission, he's a star after all,girls usually throw themselves at stars.im sorry if you're offended but I considered it because somehow she's drinking with them having fun but he isn't. Hmm
Then again they could have left her there if she hadn't promised them a good time which she might have but if she didn't that means they had already planned to rape her. Sigh, i dont have a side . If he raped her,he'll pay for it one way or the other and if she's lying she'll pay for it too, one way or the other.One of them is definitely lying.dont get mad at me for saying something that may offend you but in this day and age where the truth is a lie and vise versa,you cant even rely on the lie detector test? can they use the truth serum, amytal i think was it's name.There should be a rule that allows the use of amytal for rape cases and settling out of court should never be an option. Because if a rapists does it once and gets away with it he'll try it again.
But ladies if you're going to party hard,make sure you're with a friend or friends that have your back and if you're alone don't get blind drunk to the point that you don't know where you are or who you are with.I've done almost blind drunk and i think i was being very stupid ( free tequilas and i mixed something else in there)because if my friends had left me at the club who knows what could have happened *shudder but luckily she made sure i reached home safe and the worst hangover ever, i threw up for three days, terrible, i think i swore off drinking then,lasted for about two months,did it again swore off it again, haven't had a drink since 2011.

Looking forward to this so much...The plot seems very interesting. fighting to all the cast and crew

***Park Shi-hoo (Alice in Cheongdam-dong) has been cast as the leading man...***

Really? I hope it tanks!

Wow! Some people are just so afraid of your comeback they will do anything to intimidate you and those who support you.

Kudos and thanks to OCN for this brave decision.

Congratulations to our dear PSH for weathering the storm and cheers to us who never got tired of waiting for his return.

After the whole rape scandal, he just comes off as sleazy to me. The guy and his friend carried a dead drunk girl to his apartment and had sex with her. A gentleman would have seen her home safely. C'mon, how is that not sleazy - whether you want to believe she was raped or not? So how am I to watch a drama and believe that this sleazy guy is a hero? I can't. I can't even watch any of his past dramas (darn it that I didn't get to see Princess' Man), much less start a new one. I don't usually care about celebrities' personal lives - whether they're dating or cheating or wearing whites socks with black shoes - but I just can't get past this one.

WHAT !!!! A potential rapist act as a hero ??? Whats already happens to the society, can anybody tell us ???

What makes me more afraid is who will be the leading lady and co-actors for this drama. I seriously hope it won’t be any of my fav actors/actresses.

I do not understand.. why "only" Sihoo guilt? K-entertainment world all people pure innocent ? idols , actors and ahother? bullshit!!!

The cell phone records proved Park was the victim and everyone who keeps falsely accusing him are all the bad guys.

If your brother or father was falsely accused, cleared, and people still kept treating them as a criminal then maybe some of you bad guys would get it.

and they blame the victim when its a women, and when its sex crime. getting raped seems to be consider contaminated, unpured by some men. i hate that. Only way the women can truely be seen as a innocent victim is when she is raped by someone she has never seen (raped on the street, or by someone who trespassed her house) and when the women is known as a loving mother, or a girl who works hard for her family and she shouldnt wear revealing clothes or skirt to be seen as an innocent victim of sex crime. just a rant , i dont want to see his face on tv .END

“One evening a Cherokee elder told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between the two “wolves” that live inside us all. One is unhappiness. It is fear, worry, anger, jealousy, self-pity, resentment, and inferiority. The other is happiness. It is love, joy, hope, serenity, kindness, generosity, truth, and compassion.’ The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, ‘which wolf wins?’ The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’ ”

Park Si Hoo haters keep feeding your inner wolf and someday you'll reap what you sow.

I don't really like Park Si Hoo as human being but I respected his acting. If the story is good perhaps I'll watch it.

Unfortunately the plot so far give me a deja vu of recent Japanese drama, hmmm. Vigilante and the bar part i mean.

Cant wait to see.welcome back oppa

Someone should do a podcast like Serial about whether or not PSH raped the girl.

You fans who feel so strongly probably.

I am also looking forward to Park Shi Hoo's comeback. Everyone deserves a second chance. "Let he who is without sin among you, cast the first stone...." (John 8:7). I hope to see him soon. He's a very talented actor! Aja aja! Fighting!
