0Park Seo-joon’s 10 Best Movies & TV Shows, Ranked
Park Seo-joon, affectionately known as the 'rom-com' king by some, is one of Korea's most sought-after stars, with an already impressive career in film and television. His journey in the entertainment world has been nothing short of meteoric. He has appeared in many movies and TV shows, including some of the best K-dramas of all time, gaining great success and a plethora of awards. Over the years, Park Seo-Joon's repertoire has expanded across genres, showcasing his ability to slip effortlessly into diverse characters. With each role, Park Seo-joon continues to impress and evolve. His most recent projects include a major Hollywood production and the Netflix Korean show Gyeongseong Creature.
Park Seo-joon started his acting career with supporting roles in Perfect Game, Pots of Gold, and One Warm Word. He then moved on to his first leading role in A Witch's Love. He quickly became one of K-drama's leading men. Park Seo-joon's acting roles range from romantic comedies to action dramas. He also made a memorable guest appearance in the Academy Award-winning film Parasite. His recent role as Prince Yan in the MCU's The Marvels marks his debut in Western cinema, hopefully opening doors for more global roles in the future.
The Marvels, directed by Nia DaCosta, is a sequel to 2019's Captain Marvel and continues from the Ms. Marvel miniseries. Park Seo-joon plays Prince Yan, a relatively obscure character from Marvel Comics who hails from Aladna, a unique planet where every inhabitant speaks in rhyme. His performance was received generally favorably. However, Park Seo-joon’s The Marvels character only appears for around 3 minutes in the movie. His short screen time upset and disappointed fans as he was featured in the film's promotional content, suggesting he would play a larger role.
She Was Pretty is a heartwarming romantic comedy K-drama. The story revolves around Kim Hye Jin (Hwang Jung-eum), who transforms from a school beauty into an ordinary-looking woman, and her past acquaintance Ji Sung-Joon (Park Seo Joon), who fails to recognize her due to her changed appearance. She Was Pretty was praised by viewers for its focus on the importance of self-love. However, the show is not without flaws. Seo-joon's character initially comes off as unreasonably mean, particularly towards the female lead, which some viewers find off-putting. Despite this, Seo Joon's heartfelt performance and the overall charm of the show make it an enjoyable watch.
Park Seo-joon stars alongside K-pop star IU in Dream, a Netflix Korean drama. The feel-good sports drama follows Yoon Hong-dae (Park Seo-joon) as he is forced to train the local homeless soccer team, who have no experience with the game. Seo-joon's performance is a highlight in the movie, particularly his great on-screen chemistry with his character's love interest, the aspiring director played by IU (Lee So-min). Despite a star-studded cast, the film didn't meet expectations, with viewers and critics finding the storyline overly contrived. The movie tries too hard to tug at heartstrings but lacks the necessary grace and subtlety to do so effectively.
Gyeongseong Creature is a K-drama where season 1 takes place in 1945 Gyeongseong (the old name for Seoul), although season 2 will take place in the modern day. The show blends elements of historical mystery with monsters. Park Seo-joon’s character in Gyeongseong Creature, Jang Tae Sang, is a wealthy and influential pawnbroker with deep insights into the city's illegal activities. Park Seo-joon once again delivers an outstanding performance, showcasing his strong screen presence and having great chemistry with co-star Han So-hee. However, despite his compelling performance, some viewers weren't happy with the show's overall pacing and the quality of its CG
The Poet Warrior Youth is a South Korean TV series starring Park Seo-joon, BTS' V (Kim Tae-hyung), and SHINee's Choi Minho. The historical K-drama centers on a prestigious group of young men known as the Hwarang in the Silla Kingdom (57 BC–AD 935). Park Seo-joon's performance is a show highlight, masterfully showcasing his character's transformation from wanting revenge to becoming a skilled fighter. However, Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth struggled with uneven pacing, slowing down in the middle episodes and dragging on.
