Park Min-young, known for her roles in romantic comedy works such as “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” , “Her Private Life” , “Forecasting Love and Weather” and “Love in Contract” , has captivated viewers through the drama “Marry My Husband“, where she portrays Kang Ji-won. Choosing “Marry My Husband” marked a shift for Park Min-young towards the revenge drama genre while still retaining elements of romantic comedy.
After a hiatus of one year and two months, Park Min-young returned by shedding weight to accurately portray a character battling cancer, demonstrating her evolved acting skills with intense gaze, expressions and flawless diction as she marches towards vengeance. Playing the roles of a “Goddess of Revenge” opposite antagonists and a “Romantic Comedy Goddess” with loved ones, Park Min-young has absorbed elements of both the revenge and rom-com genres, earning praise as an even more evolved “Rom-com Queen” as she is going to bid farewell to viewers.
As “Marry My Husband” concludes, it is succeeded by “Wedding Impossible” , a drama portraying a romance involving a chaebol heir and a struggling unknown actress preparing for a fake marriage.
Of particular interest is Jeon Jong-seo, who makes her first appearance in a drama after debuting in the 2018 film “Burning” . Jeon Jong-seo, known for portraying strong characters in previous works, transitions to a relatively lighter character for her first drama. As the female lead of “Wedding Impossible” following “Marry My Husband” , there is inevitable pressure. Jeon Jong-seo stated, “I haven’t done many rom-coms, and this is my first drama, so I’ll show a different side from what I’ve done before.” She expressed that while she has mostly acted alone in the past, acting opposite male actors like Moon Sang-min helped her become more natural in her performance.
Director Kwon Young-il expressed confidence in Jeon Jong-seo’s ability to take on the role of a rom-com heroine, citing her broad acting spectrum and the compatibility of her character’s profession with her background as an actress. He anticipated the birth of a new romantic comedy queen.
With Park Min-young passing the torch, Jeon Jong-seo arrives to challenge the title of “Rom-com Queen” . Can Jeon Jong-seo prove herself beyond the potential of a romantic comedy queen in her first drama? Jeon Jong-seo’s first drama, tvN’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Wedding Impossible” , will premiere on Feb 26th at 8:50 PM.
