Park attained worldwide fan following after playing the role of Cho Sang-woo or Player 218 in the dystopian drama Squid Game, Netflix’s latest global phenomenon. It was also announced last year that the streaming giant has greenlit its K-adaptation with several names popping up as cast members, including Park as Berlin.

Park, however, shared that his portrayal will be a tad different from Pedro Alonso’s. During an interview with The Swoon, he called Pedro’s version as more “chic and cold-blooded”. Park opined that Berlin “has a good reason for being cold and swaying into being a villain.” He revealed that in the K-drama “fans will get to see a more human version of Berlin.”

Park’s Sang-woo was one of the major characters in Squid Game, who can go to any extent to win the game, even if it meant backstabbing or killing his closest associates. The way he carried off the grey shades received much praise. And understanding that Berlin holds similar traits, it would be interesting to see Park under the skin of the character.
