Park Shi-hoo to make drama comeback in OCN’s Neighborhood Hero
by girlfriday
Park Shi-hoo (Alice in Cheongdam-dong) has been cast as the leading man in the latest project from PD Kwak Jung-hwan, of Chuno, Conspiracy in the Court, Runaway Plan B, and Basketball. The spy action drama, called Neighborhood Hero, is being planned for a 2016 broadcast on cable network OCN and Park Shi-hoo has confirmed that he’ll be headlining. It’ll have been three years since his last drama, most of which Park spent out of the limelight following a rape accusation and ensuing media tumult. He has since returned to acting in the movie After Love opposite Yoon Eun-hye, which has been shot but not yet released.
Neighborhood Hero is about a former black-ops agent who lives quietly in a small neighborhood and runs a local bar, who ends up fighting evildoers and becoming the town’s hero. Park Shi-hoo has been cast to play the highly skilled ex-spy, who now runs a bar literally named Neighborhood Bar. He keeps his past hidden, of course, and while serving up drinks to everyone who comes by, he naturally comes to know the ins and outs of his neighbors’ lives and becomes part of their family.
He also takes someone under his wing — a young man who dreams of becoming a police officer — and trains him to be an agent like himself. Together they’ll fight the evil that the town faces, and become neighborhood heroes. They don’t say what this evil entails, so we could be looking at anything from gangster loan sharks, to foreign spies, to the zombie apocalypse (okay, probably not that).
The series, though driven by spy action, promises to really be about family, neighbors, and frank everyday life. It’s sure to be compared to Covertly, Grandly, which had a similar blockbuster-action-meets-small-town-family premise, and was really heartwarming when the neighbors became a makeshift family.
Neighborhood Hero is being planned for 20 episodes, to be broadcast in 2016.

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.

Who among us hasn’t done anything horrendous???
Really? It's not that hard to, you know, NOT commit rape, murder or other horrendous criminal acts.
. If people are willing to work with him, it means they are looking past his PAST.
....... and that is supposed to be a testament to his character? All it indicates is that some people think he can make them money, and they care more about that than him being a rapist.

Lols, couldn't have said it better myself. Just b/c rape, terror, scandal, and violence is all over the news doesn't mean that is what everyday people commit all the time.
@Aigooyobo
Please also do not presume to bring God's forbearance into this conversation. It's true Christians must strive to forgive, but do not forget that God also firmly sets rules of morality and righteousness. To forgive does not mean condoning a person's actions. What is a sin is a sin. Period. Just b/c God forgives our sins, it does not mean it is not a sin. You may forgive, but do not forget, or dismiss, wrongs committed.

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.

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!!

Song il kook is one of the best daddy that i've ever knew, he's parenting styles are always inspired me. Thats why his adorable triplets are become more more very kind-heart, polite and smart day by day.
His new KBS Saeguk drama, Jung Yeung Sil will broadcast in early 2016. It will be a grand-comeback, his last drama was in 2011 before the triplets were born. I will fully support him and this drama with all of my heart.

Thank you. Your comment helped me put things in perspective.
At first I was sad that anyone would still watch this guy, but now I realize we all just have different limits. What's important is you acknowledge that something questionable happened there, and don't blindly jump into victim-blaming just to paint him 100% innocent.
I personally feel iffy just looking at his pics again, which is really sad because I've been watching to rewatch Prosecutor Princess for ages now. :(
Your calm and honest comment helped me understand "the other side" so thank you again.

You don't have to feel guilty, Marina. I can understand, to some extent, how you feel. We all have a right to make our choices. You can watch it because he seems to be a good actor, based on the comments. I too was going to start watching Prosecutor Princess, but i can't stop thinking about it. And i feel guilty to not look at his talents, but not guilty enough to watch him soon. I hate rapists beyond the point of redemption, and am scared if my love, Healer, gets into something like this.
Well, its fine, go ahead and watch it. You may end up loving it.

There is nothing wrong with watching the drama. I just think it's distressing when people turned vicious on the possible rape victim just because he is a star and didn't want to believe it. But you can still watch this drama and be critical of the actor, it doesn't make you less of a person or even a bad person.

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.

Chris, i agree with most of your comments, but i don't think Cupcake was blaming the victim. It was the least she could do to herself, to not get completely drunk. Just basic sense of responsibility towards ourselves to not get completely drunk with someone we don't kno completely.
We can't defend any of them. They both were wrong. Lets just accept it.

August 25, 2015 at 1:53 PM
Often people don't realise how drunk they are while they're still drinking, the effects start to take hold only after you try to move/get up from the table.
And Cupcake was most definitely victim blaming (no other way to interpret the statement that her getting drunk with two men automatically means she wanted to get 'laid'), which is FAR more disgusting than a girl getting drunk in the presence of two people she trusted not to violate her.
She might have met Park Shi-hoo that day, but let's not forget, she knew the other guy beforehand.

Events like this always raise an interesting point - how far can we separate the individual from their work?
For example, I love the paintings of Caravaggio and the music of Jean Baptiste Lully but we would consider them peadophiles so should their works be boycotted/banned?
Likewise, "Birth of a Nation" is a horrendously racist movie but it is the first ever "proper" movie and the precursor to a lot of modern cinematography.
Bears thinking.

August 25, 2015 at 1:09 PM
Actually, Birth of A Nation is rarely shown outside of art houses or cinema classes because of its content, and it is usually prefaced with a lecture or explanatory material. As for Caravaggio and Lully, it is easier to appreciate these works of art because they are distanced from the unacceptable habits of their creators - Caravaggio did not paint pictures of his actions, and Lully did not write a Partita for Tenor and Underage Girl. It is harder to separate art from creator in cinema, because it is so literal.

People do not like horrible human beings becoming rich, famous and an influence to society. Unfortunately, appreciating their work can lead to those things so people tend to downplay or change their mind about liking that person's work.

I won't be watching this series, or any of PSH series. If he is innocent, it might make things difficult to start a new career. But changing a career is nothing in the big picture of life. People do it all the time. Not to mention that he seems of sound mind and body.
If he is guilty, it would be devastating to his victim to see him smiling on screen and in the media with his adoring fans.
Understanding that we will never know for sure what happened, since we weren't there, I choose the option that will cause less pain for both in the long run.

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.

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.

We know in Korean Society it is apparently possible to come to a settlement between both parties even in cases as rape.
Whether we like it or not, it is the law, they can choose to do so.
To go as far as to say that accepting this settlement is an admission of guilt /or lying, that is something i would not agree on.
Looking at how some fans keep defending PSH so much with (sometimes insane) fired up arguements, i gladly believe that this girl was threatened and bullied by fans and agencies.
Even in europe, in rape cases victims are often bullied by the defence laywyers during cross examinations. It seems more a case of "try to prove you're not a slut" then "prove xx is guilty".
So one girl with a lawyer (probably a tired public defender) against a halyu star with an army of well paid and rested lawyers, i can imagine getting so tired about it that she just wanted to abandon it all, take the settelemnt and start fresh.
Same with PSH, if this was a setup, he also might just have deemed it better to just pay and hope for the dust to settle.
Neither would be admission of guilt, but just human nature to people who were tired of fighting and having their world overturned.
Sleeping with a 24 year old at his age? again, human nature. If we had the chance to sleep with Park Seo Joon, how many of us ladies in ou 30's or 40's would refuse?
As for the media, i'm always astounded at the fact both parties lawyers, police and media can release so much info while an investigation is still pending.
this baffles me and should not be allowed to guaranty a serene trial without predjudice or subjectif feelings, but that's just a personal opinion.
This whole media circus has made it very hard to know what the deal is, the only people who really know, will be the ones who settled this thing between them..with money.
Then let's just agree on this :
PSH admitted he had sex with the girl while she was very, very, drunk.Fact, he admitted it, no way to turn this into anything else,either consensual or not, he slept with a semi conscious person.
I don't know if this is illegal in S korea, but it should be..but again, laws, customs, society etc,...can't argue my point of view based on european law when i know little of Skorean law. I just think this is common sense worldwide.
No lights on - nobody home ! so, no consensus = rape.
Now i know some men like their woman the be passive, but plz tell me where the fun is in having sex with someone who is hardly participating? it would be like having sex with a corps..or a skeet blanket.
The fact that he engaged into this kind of sex, with a friend present in or near the room, makes him (to me and probably a lot of peple) a creep and a very unlikable man.
I know the saying goes we should separate the man from the artist, but honestly..how can we enjoy a romantic movie or series when the lead man is...

Ms.A only has one lawyer till the end while PSH must change 4-5 lawyer teams ( all are from Top 5 law firms in South Korea ) to help him out from jail.
What doesn't means ? I think everyone can answer it

Please. Jb and her team of politically correct and 'we're not judging just reporting' writers don't have an opinion on actors who beat/rape women, cheat, use/distribute drugs, embezzle money or have connections to the mafia. They might make funny jokes about them or fangirl/praise them in their drama reviews. Deconstructing art and removing it from reality, right? And readers here being racist, homophobic and misogynistic is nothing new.

I think you're being a bit unfair to JB and her staff. Their opinions are their own business--they can share them if they want.

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.

After so many media circus between him and the girl, at the end of the investigation the police was indicted him with rape and sent the case to the prosecutor. Period.
This is what most of people believe not from his fans defending.

That was not the end, that was the start.
The end was when she got caught out as a liar because of her cell phone records.
The end was when they had to drop all charges against him because he was innocent.

At the end, while the case was processing in the prosecutor, PSH and his lawyer teams tried hard to made settlement with Ms.A to bought his freedom.
Lee byung hun and Kim hyun jong are not better than PSH but at least they're brave enough to brought their cases to the court and didn't do settlement in order to cleared their reputation.
But what PSH had done ? Dropped his countersuit towards her, didn't try to clear his name at all. And this is what you said being innocent. What a joke !!!!

May I ask what evidence you refer? Since in Korea many people think he is guilty , although many korean men would refer that he is innocent, just a plain guy who was unlucky. and rather blame the women because she is a slut (how dare a young girl drink with a guy at night? and getting unconcious? isn't that obviously asking for sex? thats what they say ) not blaming those korean men, because victim blaming is very dominent in korean society by men) at least i was oping some decent comments from ouside people.

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.

Hah, I Remember You quote.
I used to really like PSH and his acting but I cannot condone anyone that could possibly be a rapist. I don't know how being against rape will make me 'reap what I 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.

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!
