Actor Park Si-woo poured out extraordinary passion until the very end of Wavve's exclusive series 'The Prosecutor's Proposal,' sharing his thoughts on the successful conclusion.

Park Si-woo's first title role, 'The Prosecutor's Proposal' (directed by Yang Kyung-hee, based on a work by Hebok, distributed by KT Studio Genie, produced by Oak Company), is a crime investigation drama depicting the intertwining journey of investigator Lee Chae-ha (played by Park Si-woo), who lives with past wounds, and cold-blooded prosecutor Joo Tae-seon (played by Kim Yoon-sik) as they chase the truth behind a massive case.

In the final episode released on the 24th, storm-like plot twists and poignant romance reached their peak. Lee Chae-ha suffered a fatal stab wound on the rooftop but refused to let go of the suspect, driving out the truth of the case through a life-risking sacrifice. Through Chae-ha's sacrifice and relentless pursuit of the truth, she cleared a 15-year-old false accusation, followed by Tae-seon confessing his feelings to Chae-ha on a sunset-lit beach, ending with Chae-ha's monologue: "I would gladly accept any misfortune as long as I am with you," leaving a deep lingering impression.

Thanks to Park Si-woo's performance, which proved his unique presence in his first leading role, 'The Prosecutor's Proposal' not only topped the domestic Wavve drama charts but also ranked 10th on Fundex's July 4th week TV/OTT drama popularity index. Additionally, it swept the daily and weekly Asia drama rankings for iQIYI in Europe and North America, as well as the daily, weekly, and monthly rankings in Vietnam. Securing the number one spot on China's Xiaohongshu and Weibo real-time search terms, along with topping Starfocus's '2026 Fan Choice Couple' voting, it solidified its position as a next-generation global rising star.

Park Si-woo, who successfully completed his first title role and demonstrated the potential of a next-generation leading actor, now shares an honest Q&A.

◆ What are your thoughts on the conclusion of 'The Prosecutor's Proposal'?

I received far more love than I expected and still feel dazed, as if in a dream. I will never take the excessive support you gave me for granted and vow to become an actor who continues to grow with gratitude.

◆ Global reactions were intense, including topping domestic and international charts and ranking number one on SNS real-time searches. What feedback stands out most?

I had no idea overseas fans would love the drama so much. The most memorable feedback was: 'Lee Chae-ha is gentle in the drama, but in reality, you seem like a powerful CEO.' I felt proud that they appreciated the contrasting charm between the character and my real self.

◆ When building Lee Chae-ha, who carries the wound and strength of being the 'Son of a Murderer,' what was your main focus?

I tried to understand Chae-ha's inner world by writing down her character traits on a board. I focused on expressing her firmness as someone who appears gentle on the outside but stands tall in matters she believes are right—a 'strong against the weak, weak against the strong' resilience—and her toughness that does not crumble despite deep wounds.

◆ How was your chemistry with actor Kim Yoon-sik, who played Prosecutor Joo Tae-seon? Any behind-the-scenes stories?

At first, I felt intimidated by Hyung's (Yoon-sik) strong aura, but thanks to him making me feel comfortable on set, I could naturally immerse myself. We both laugh a lot, so even during serious scenes, whenever our eyes met, we'd burst into laughter. What stands out is the temperature difference: once the camera started rolling, we immediately focused.

◆ A final message to fans as you wrap up the 10th-episode series

'The Prosecutor's Proposal' will be a work I cherish for a long time. Thanks to domestic and international fans who cheered for Chae-ha's sorrow and growth every week and sent their love, every moment was happy. I will use that precious sentiment as motivation to strive to show even better performances in the future.

Meanwhile, Park Si-woo, who successfully concluded his first leading role 'The Prosecutor's Proposal,' continues to receive numerous offers for photo shoots, global fan meetings, and more across various fields thanks to the intense support from domestic and international fans. He is carefully reviewing his next project while continuing his active career path.
