Park Shin Hye Singles Out Former Costars Jang Geun Seok and Lee Min Ho as Working Best with Her

Park Shin Hye is currently filming the upcoming SBS K-drama Pinocchio and as a fan I’m looking forward to what she delivers this time around. I’m sure plenty of viewers are waiting to see if she’s back on top after being so lackluster in her last drama Heirs, and especially checking out whether she has romantic chemistry with leading man Lee Jong Seok. She’s featured in a Star 1 spread this week that is fall floral centric and quite lovely actually with a good balance of flowers and feminine allure.

A minor quibble would be Park Shin Hye having the same look in every picture but otherwise she’s connecting with the camera nicely. During the accompanying interview, she humbly denied any kudos for helping turn her previous leading men into Hallyu stars, instead only allowing that perhaps she helped them to shine more. When asked which of her costars she worked best with, Park Shin Hye specifically mentioned Jang Geun Seok from You’re Beautiful (both child actors, they understood each other well and got along wonderfully on set) and Lee Min Ho from Heirs (she complimented his great personality and felt they had great chemistry together).

My own opinions aside on who Park Shin Hye exhibited chemistry with onscreen, it’s fascinating to hear how she actually sees her own chemistry as opposed to what the audience takes away.

  • I don't even know if she actually sees it that way or is just naming the two projects because YAB made her a star and Heirs was her most recent/cemented her place in the A list.

    (I totally agree about Jang Geun Seok, and they do seem like good friends, but ....with LMH? Really? I guess she's being really polite)

    • I feel like she mentioned Lee Min Ho cause she felt the "need" to.. Since both of them became even bigger stars after starring in it. & even though you guys think they had no chemistry you can't deny the fact that the other majority of fans of the drama believe their chemistry is sizzling.
      I'm in the middle I felt she had chemistry with Lee Min Ho but she had it way better with Kim Woo Bin! Which is why I'm a bit upset Kim Woo Bin rejected the role in Pinocchio LOL!

      • I agree. I don't know why people believe she can't have chemistry with both men. I loved Heirs warts and all, and I loved the pairing of Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye. I thought they looked good. She even looked good with Kim Woo-bin too, but then I think Kim Woo-bin would have chemistry with a piece of wood, I mean he managed to have chemistry with a girl wearing a rabbit's head.
        I think Shin-hye has chemistry with almost all her co-stars, not sure about Yoon Si-yoon though, I couldn't bring myself to finish that drama. But, in my eyes the only other person Lee Min-ho looked good with was Park Min-young.

      • That's what I said though, she basically named LMH because of the stardom boost from Heirs.

        As for Kim Woobin and the girl with the rabbit head.....it's easy to see why they'd have great chemistry, because that girl was Lee Yubi! (PSH's second lead in the upcoming Pinocchio)

  • Also, give the poor girl some proper lipstick please!

    Gradient lips are very fashionable in Korea but it doesn't always look good to have half your mouth disappearing under concealer, Park Shin Hye is so pretty but this lip thing is washing her out.

    • It never looks good! I have no clue how something that decreases ones attractiveness got so popular

  • I'm surprised she didn't mention Yoon Shi-yoon! Out of all her dramas, I thought she had the best chemistry with him.

  • Those political answers are as predictable & boring as the mail man, lol. In other news, Show starts in 3 weeks & still no promo material: I'm 'slightly' frustrated. >.<

  • LOL! Indeed! She did have chemistry with Jang Geun Seok but to single out Lee Min Ho too? Really? When she obviously sparked more with Kim Woo Bin in that particular drama (or maybe it was just all Kim Woo Bin!) And no mention of Yoo Shi Yoon in Flower Boy Next Door where they had such a great chemistry…

    I really hope she'll have chemistry with Lee Jong Seok because I'm really looking forward to Pinocchio. I have no worries about Lee Jong Seok, I've liked him since I first saw him in Secret Garden and he's only gotten better and better <3 <3 <3 I do worry about Park Shin Hye, though. I've always liked her, but her recent performance was just too disappointing and as most people have noted she somehow friendzones her male co-stars and has yet to deliver anything sizzling in terms of romance on screen. Maybe romance won't be the focal point in Pinocchio but there will probably be some if you look at the writer's past works. The romance in "I Hear Your Voice" was fantastic, so I'm definitely hoping to see that in Pinocchio as well!

    • Same here .. I was fond of Lee Jong Suk since SeGa ..he is perfect ..but PSH !! actually I was a little bit disappointed when i read that she is going to be the lead actress with him. I don't mention that she is bad, but... And what about that chemistry with LMH!!?? LOL .. the chemistry with Kim Woo-bin was way better, in fact when i watched Heirs i was waiting for her scenes with KWB not LMH. Anyway .. I'm gonna watch Pinocchio bcoz of LJS, and hope for the best.

  • These pics are as lovely and boring as her so-called chemistry with Lee Min Ho. Yes to Jang Geun Suk and Yoon Shi Yoon, which were both better dramas too IMO.

  • Well...both JGS n LMH so popular and her dramas with these two was her most popular drama among kdrama fans.so,no wonder
    If she pick them.

    By the way..,i know she's beautiful.,but she has this boring facial expression there..

  • There are huge number of fans around Asia especially China,S.Korea who ship her with LMH. Maybe that's why she said it, for fanservice.

  • of course its only jang geun suk ! she was perfect with him ! and she her self are admitting that he is the one who knows her personnelity best and fit her the most ! she had zero chemistry with LMH to be honest she out shined better with kim woo bin!
    c'MON shin hye we know you love jang geun suk LOL ..PLZ make us see you togther soon
