The video, shared on Netflix's official Instagram, featured Park alongside co-star Kim Mu-yeol, who plays Inspector Noh Hwa-jin. In stark contrast to her on-screen persona, Park appeared gentle and elegant in a black V-neck top. She initiated the playful scare by introducing herself as "Eujin's Mom." Kim Mu-yeol immediately reacted with a pained expression, showcasing the lingering impact of her character's overbearing nature.
I am Eujin's Mom.
Park then delivered a line that struck a chord with viewers: "Eujin's dad isn't angry now, so please take care of your health even if you're busy with work." She added a final, chilling touch: "Otherwise, your self-esteem will drop." This recreation of her character's dialogue sent viewers into fits of laughter, with many commenting on their "PTSD" and expressing fear at the mere mention of "Eujin's Mom."
The clip effectively highlighted the dramatic transformation Park underwent for the role, contrasting her off-screen warmth with the character's oppressive and demanding attitude. The actress's ability to embody such a memorable, albeit terrifying, character has clearly left a lasting impression on the audience.
Eujin's dad isn't angry now, so please take care of your health even if you're busy with work. Otherwise, your self-esteem will drop.
