This dark comedy-drama also stars DKZ’s Jaechan as Choi Do Hyun, the son of Young Won (Kim Hee Seon) and Jae Jin (Kim Nam Hee). Jaechan is also currently appearing in “My Sweet Mobster” on JTBC. A recent plot twist regarding Jaechan’s character has rocked the internet. In “Bitter Sweet Hell”, Do Hyun appeared to have a relationship with So Yi (Han Sung Min), who was assumed to be his girlfriend. It was also suspected that he had gotten her pregnant.

“Is this what Jaechan meant when he talked about ‘PLOT TWIST’? Dohyun’s girlfriend (Jaechan) is 11 weeks pregnant, but they…”

However, in episode 9, Do Hyun confessed to his mother that he is not attracted to So Yi but to his friend, Jun Ho.

The clip quickly went viral, racking up over a million views on TikTok and hundreds of thousands of views on X. Viewers were excited to see that his character had come out as gay, especially during Pride Month. Many fans praised Jaechan’s acting in this emotional scene.

“It turned out that Dohyun was gay. He didn’t get a girl pregnant. Sometimes family is the hardest place to confide when it should be the safest and easiest, and the responsibility falls on adults. I’m glad Bitter Sweet Hell made us realize this. »
“The fact that Jaechan revealed his character on Korean national television is amazing, no one else does it like him. »
“It’s a coming out scene. The way he conveyed emotions and how he represented his vulnerable state. It was incredible! Park Jaechan is truly the best. This is his second gay role, and he does it wonderfully! »

“Bitter Sweet Hell” viewers certainly weren’t expecting the plot twist, although Jaechan hinted that there would be one. Netizens say it rivals the famous MV “Please Don’t…” by K.Will.

“So the twist in the plot is that Dohyun/Jaechan’s character likes a man? And he cried when he revealed this secret to his mother? »
“K’s destiny is turned upside down. It’s the turnaround of the year. »

This is the second time that Jaechan plays a character coming out as gay in a K-drama. Previously, he starred in his breakout role in the BL “Semantic Error”. Fans are impressed that he’s done it now in a mainstream drama series.

“Dohyun loves Junho!” I love how Jaechan portrayed vulnerability and emotions in this coming out scene. My heart really aches for him, and the fact that he played a gay character again? We are so proud of my little Jaechanie. »
