An Unscripted Comedy Gem
The scene features Kim Seon Ho as Park Chung Seob, nervously trying to gain the approval of his girlfriend Yang Geum Myeong‘s father, Ywan Gwan Sik, played by Park Hae Joon. What was intended to be a tense and awkward meeting hilariously transforms into a comedic highlight, primarily due to Kim Seon Ho‘s spontaneous performance as a somewhat tipsy Park Chung Seob attempting to charm his girlfriend’s father.
