Park Bo-gum Faces Unprecedented Challenges in 'Bo-gum Magical'

Actor Park Bo-gum is facing an unprecedented challenge.

The fourth episode of tvN's 'Bo-gum Magical' (directed by Son Soo-jung), which aired on the 20th, achieved its highest ratings yet, with a nationwide household average of 3.4% and a peak of 4.6%, and a metropolitan household average of 3.5% and a peak of 4.6%. Additionally, on the 24th, Park Bo-gum ranked 2nd in the non-drama TV-OTT performer category for the third week of February, according to Good Data Corporation's FUNdex, while 'Bo-gum Magical' ranked 7th in the non-drama TV-OTT category.

In the upcoming fifth episode, a crisis unfolds when a customer demands to stop a haircut for the first time since the barbershop opened. Park Bo-gum's meticulous styling pushes the patience of a 4-year-old customer to its limits. Viewers are eager to see how Park Bo-gum will navigate this challenge.

Meanwhile, Park Hae-jun and Choi Dae-hoon, who have been working hard as part-time workers alongside the barbershop trio, wrap up their day with a dinner together. Park Hae-jun, in particular, showcases his role as a reliable older brother by preparing dishes like boiled pork and beef radish soup, which the trio had been craving. Their candid and humorous conversations during dinner are expected to be another highlight of the show.

On the fourth day of business, Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi, and Kwak Dong-yeon dream of shorter working hours. However, their plans are thwarted by six members of a women's association who arrive early, having heard about the barbershop. With the influx of customers, Park Bo-gum finds himself styling four customers' hair, while Lee Sang-yi handles two nail care appointments.

The trio's strategies to manage the sudden rush of services pique curiosity, especially as Park Bo-gum is seen tearing up during a procedure, raising anticipation for the broadcast.

Adding to the excitement, the appearance of a charismatic elderly chairman who makes Park Bo-gum nervous, along with unexpected work missions, promises an unpredictable barbershop operation.

Catch the episode on the 27th at 8:35 PM on tvN's 'Bo-gum Magical'.
