So although there was a lot of that kind of talk following the first episode, the nun’s grace that Mi-nyeo possesses can’t change overnight just because she is forced to act as a man to take her brother’s place. She has to act as her twin brother Go Mi-nam, so if we get rid of her feminine side, I think Mi-nyeo would completely disappear. Maybe that’s why after the first episode aired, there was a lot of talk about, ‘What kind of boy-acting is that?” A lot of people said, ‘Her voice is high and the way she talks and acts is like she’s trying to be cute.’ However, I think of it not as me as Park Shin-hye trying to act as a man, but Go Mi-nyeo trying to act as a man. Dressing as a boy usually means you have to speak with a lower voice and swagger and trudge along. I absolutely have to do this.'” (Laughs)ĭid you feel the burden of having to dress as a boy? PARK: “Before that, when a project came in, I deliberated a lot over it, thinking, ‘Will I be able to perform this role well? She’s older and has a soft image…’ But as soon as I read this synopsis, I thought, ‘This must not go to anyone else. Said the manager next to her, “This was the first time Shin-hye said she wanted to do a project as soon as she read the synopsis.” The biggest reasons were that I would be able to show a different side to my acting and that I would finally be able to act appropriate to my age.” I read the script without putting it down, like I was reading a manhwa book. I thought that I would be able to bring her to life. When I received the synopsis to this drama, Mi-nyeo was so lovable, and she was my age, too.

Since I was playing twentysomething adult roles since high school, I wasn’t able to show my true personality. In Radish Kimchi, I played 23 years old. “The roles I had taken in the past were mostly older than my real age. What was your biggest reason for taking on the role of Go Mi-nyeo? We’re similar in how we bump into things left and right, and how we mean well with good intentions, but end up causing accidents and trouble.” (Laughs) But actually, Go Mi-nyeo is a bit like me. That’s why a lot of people have told me that they’re seeing a new side to me in this drama.

PARK SHIN-HYE: “I’ve taken on a lot of quiet, sad roles till now. MOVIEWEEK: I didn’t know you had such a bright side.

You’re Beautiful‘s Park Shin-hye: “I have dark circles under my eyes… The new challenge is thrilling!” But in this spunky trendy drama, I find both are really bursting with personality, and it sounds like the fun is alive both in front of and behind the cameras. I think she, like Jang Geun-seok, had shown a lot of potential at a young age but sorta glided by in average performances for a while.
