During his "SIKcret Time in Manila" fan meet last Saturday (February 17), Park Hyung-sik expressed his feeling about reuniting with Park Shin-hye in Doctor Slump.
"'Di ba naging sikat din ang The Heirs dito sa Philippines? Actually, we never really got to meet with Park Shin-hye in that drama," the Hallyu star said in Korean.
"But, of course, to see her again in this drama and magkasabay kami sa maraming scenes, I really love how people react na magkasabay kami sa isang good project to look forward to. And I'm having so much fun with her too," he added.
Park Hyung-sik also revealed his first reaction when he read the script of Doctor Slump and why he accepted the role.
"In Korea right now, usong-uso pag-usapan about being burnt out and having moments of slumps in various phases of life. So when I first got the script, it really caught my attention because the story is something that I can totally relate.
"Of course, I want to also heal and give comfort to all of you. That's why I really had fun reading the script. It was something that I really look forward to doing," he shared.
Asked how he copes with sadness or the low moments of his life, Park Hyung-sik said he would spend time with his friends.
"Hindi ba problema rin kapag palagi kang masaya? Hindi ba nakakatakot puro ka tawa nang tawa?" he said jokingly.
"So, of course, I do feel moments of loneliness or sadness, kapag ganu'n I do spend time with my friends. Nag-scuba diving or lately naging interest ko was golfing. I really love doing the scuba and golfing because while I'm doing those all my concentration is there na hindi ako makaisip ng mga problema ko.
"It's really good that you focus on something else so you don't feel very depressed."
