That's how they love and care about our film so I enjoyed reading the comments. Now I think the perspective has changed. In the past, people used to consider this character as the real personality of the actor but now, many people see it more personally. So I try to take them as compliments that I portrayed my character convincingly," Park Sung Hoon said.
