Sutradara drama MBC #PerfectCrown 'Park Joon Hwa' akhirnya buka suara soal kritikan akting dua pemeran utamanya, Byeon Woo Seok dan IU, serta kontroversi distorsi sejarah. Ia mengaku merasa sangat bersalah karena para aktor ikut menerima kritik tajam, padahal menurutnya mereka hanya menjalankan arahan yang ia berikan.
Soal kritik akting IU yang dianggap terlalu berlebihan, sutradara menjelaskan bahwa itu memang arahannya. Ia ingin karakter Hui Ju terlihat sangat ambisius, emosional, dan punya sisi dramatis supaya terasa seperti tokoh utama di komik romantis. Menurutnya, jika dimainkan terlalu realistis, karakter itu malah akan terasa dingin dan membuat drama jadi membosankan. Ia merasa IU berhasil membuat karakter yang awalnya tampak keras menjadi lebih hidup dan manusiawi.
Sementara itu, Byeon Woo Seok dikritik karena ekspresinya dianggap terlalu datar. Namun sutradara mengatakan ia memang meminta Wooseok menahan emosi karena karakter pangeran seharusnya terlihat tenang dan tidak mudah menunjukkan perasaan. Ia ingin perubahan emosinya muncul perlahan setelah jatuh cinta, sehingga perkembangan karakter terasa lebih kuat di akhir cerita. Menurutnya, tatapan mata dan aura sedih Byeon Woo Seok sudah sangat cocok dengan karakter pangeran yang kesepian dan penuh beban.
Sutradara juga mengungkapkan bahwa Byeon Woo Seok sebenarnya sempat mencoba menunjukkan sisi emosi yang lebih beragam saat syuting, tetapi justru ia sendiri yang meminta agar tetap ditahan demi menyesuaikan konsep karakter. Karena itu, ia merasa kritik yang diterima para aktor seharusnya menjadi tanggung jawabnya juga sebagai sutradara.
Di akhir wawancara, sutradara kembali menegaskan bahwa banyak hal yang dipermasalahkan penonton sebenarnya merupakan hasil keputusan dan arahannya sendiri. Karena itu, ia merasa para aktor tidak pantas menanggung semua kritik sendirian.

AKMU 정규 4집 [개화]가 발매되었습니다. 모든 음원사이트에서 들으실 수 있습니다. ▶️https://t.co/VxkJRpGwDJ
AKMU 4th Full Album [FLOWERING] is OUT NOW. Available on all streaming platforms.
ahh… listening to the song feels like the whole album is indeed truly dedicated to suhyun🥺 from the track 1 itself, it’s like talking to someone who’s completely worn out, it contrasts the city with this “rumored paradise,” which isn’t really a place but more like healing, peace, or something more meaningful.
it’s basically saying that the struggles you go through, the pain, the exhaustion, even the “blisters” are part of the journey, and there are things you’ll only understand once you leave what’s familiar. and even if you feel like something inside you is broken or can’t be fixed, there is a place (or state) where that pain won’t define you anymore.
and maybe the most important part is you don’t leave just to escape. you leave to find something real, like love, meaning, or yourself.

Suhyun talks about how her life shut down for 2 years. “You say you’re fine, but the fact that you keep saying you’re fine is what worries me the most” - Chanhyuk
Suhyun: I started living like a mole. I blocked out all the sunlight and just lived like that. I think I lived that way for about two years. So I had truly given up on the future. There is no future. There is no better future for me. I was in such a state of helplessness, so severe that I couldn’t even gauge how bad I was myself, but my oppa came and talked to me.
“You say you’re fine, but the fact that you keep saying you’re fine is what looks the most dangerous.” He said that, and at the time he gave me a lot of small, gentle suggestions. I thought, if I can live like I used to again, I need to hold onto this. And from that point on, I started actively accepting my brother’s help.
Chanhyuk: I don’t know how you heard it, but I didn’t want to have regrets. Because when I looked 10, 20 years into the future, if I didn’t look after Suhyun now, decades later I felt like she would say, “Oppa, why didn’t you hold onto me back then?” I just saw that future for a moment. I thought, I don’t want to be that kind of person, so…
🐰 At that point, he said, “If I leave you like this, I might not be able to see you anymore.” Not right now, but… “If I keep leaving you like this, and no one takes care of you, someday that kind of future will come.” He said he was scared. That’s what he told me.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
“For Suhyun, who had social anxiety and stayed inside the house for two years, Chanhyuk moved in with her, exercised with her all day, and basically ran a Marine-style mental training camp.”
