Flower Crew Joseon: Park Jihoon, Byun Wooseok, Gong Seungyeon

Actor Park Ji-hoon's film 'The King and the Man' has become a box office hit, leading to a phenomenon of his previous works gaining renewed attention on major OTT platforms, a trend known as 'filmography reverse run.' Notably, the 7-year-old drama '​Joseon Marriage Agency: Flower Crew' is drawing interest once again.

After Park Ji-hoon joined the ranks of 10 million viewers with the film 'The King and the Man,' his previously aired dramas and web dramas have reappeared on OTT charts, amplifying his presence. On Netflix, 'Weak Hero Class 1,' which was released some time ago, has secured a spot on the 'Top 10 Series in South Korea Today' chart.

This trend is also evident on domestic OTT platforms. On Wavve, 'Love Song for Illusion,' 'Joseon Marriage Agency: Flower Crew,' 'Weak Hero,' and '​Blue Spring from a Distance' have charted, while on TVING, the web drama '​Love Revolution' has made it onto the rankings. This is interpreted as a result of audiences, recently reminded of Park Ji-hoon by his theatrical release, seeking out his past filmography on OTT.

Specifically, 'Joseon Marriage Agency: Flower Crew,' aired in 2019, is a drama depicting a grand matchmaking project in Joseon, involving three handsome matchmakers more beautiful than women, a tomboyish Gae-ttong, and a king trying to protect his first love. At the time, the character dynamics, relationships, and the cast's chemistry were highlighted as strengths, and upon rewatching it now, the splendid casting is even more striking, according to reactions.

'Joseon Marriage Agency: Flower Crew' featured highly notable actors including Park Ji-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Gong Seung-yeon, Seo Ji-hoon, Byun Woo-seok, and Go Won-hee. Kim Min-jae played Ma Hoon, Gong Seung-yeon as Gae-ttong, Seo Ji-hoon as Lee Soo, Park Ji-hoon as Go Young-soo, Byun Woo-seok as Do Joon, and Go Won-hee as Kang Ji-hwa, with characters of different nuances creating the drama's unique rhythm. The enduring character combinations and the actors' chemistry, which remain fresh even when watched now, are evaluated as the core driving force behind this OTT reverse run.
