One cannot discuss Park Hyung Sik’s filmography without mentioning the iconic “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon”! In this hilarious rom-com, he plays the cheeky Ahn Min Hyuk, son of a wealthy chaebol family and CEO of his own gaming company. He employs the tenacious Do Bong Soon (Park Bo Young) as his personal bodyguard after learning of her superhuman strength.
The central plot of “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” revolves around the duo’s pursuit of a serial kidnapper in Bong Soon’s neighborhood, which lands them in a number of sticky situations.

4. “Heirs”
Writer Kim Eun Sook’s star-studded high school series “Heirs” remains one of South Korea’s most internationally successful television dramas. Revolving around a massive cast (including Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin, Krystal, and more!) of wealthy high school students, the series has spawned some of the most iconic lines and memes in the K-drama world.
Park Hyung Sik played a minor but memorable role as Jo Myung Soo, the playful son of a successful law firm CEO. Despite being close with the intimidating Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) and Lee Bo Na (Krystal), he proves to be a loyal and lovable character with a beagle-like personality.
