Park Min Young Takes Over for Suzy in Upcoming Period C-drama Costarring Hans Zhang

With the way some K-drama castings have gone recently, and the general low pay long hours environment, it’s no wonder more and more actors and actresses are heading overseas to China to work. Last month there was quite the buzz over Suzy possibly being cast as the leading lady in an upcoming period C-drama. It would be her first overseas acting project and in a market that’s quite welcoming of popular K-stars. Ultimately it didn’t pan out but the production stuck with casting a K-star as Park Min Young has landed the role as the female lead of upcoming Braveness of the Ming (Chinese title 锦衣夜行 which means Imperial Guard Night Travels). The Ming dynasty had a specific name for imperial palace police called 锦衣卫 and this drama will be about that covert organization within a Ming dynasty intrigue and romance story. The leading man remains popular C-actor Hans Zhang, who looks equally fine in period or modern garb. Filming begins this summer for a year end premiere date.

  • I think she's coming off from post healer popularity in China.
    I Like her enough, she's not stellar acting material but any time better than the typical idol actress. Good chemistry with costars, cute but not annoyingly so. Her acting choices have also been wise recently, she could do with more acting range but well improved from the past. Good choice China

  • Awesome!!!.... Park Min Young have always been a good actress♥I think she will be better to acting the drama than Suzy, Tho I do like Suzy but PYM is the best!! ♥♥

  • She'll look good in Chinese period costume. I loved Healer for mainly for Ji Chang Wook. Man, he's grown to be fine.

  • Well, that's quite ironic. Suzy is Lee Min Ho's current gf and Park Min Young is his ex. Glad that Min Young got the role. She looks pretty in traditional Korean clothing so I'm sure she'll look beautiful in traditional Chinese clothing. :)

  • I am a bit skeptical for this crossover project but nonetheless i will watch and hopefully i can get through all episodes. Suzy's not a stellar acting material either and if I may say Minyoung acts better than her.lol Though Minyoung does have a way to be predictably 'cute' I wish that she ups her acting strategy a bit.

  • The production already denied Suzy was approached for the role, it was false alarm.

    I`m glad PMY is getting the role, she is beautiful and great actress.

  • Yay for Min Young! I've always been a fan and I'm thrilled she's getting this break. :D

  • no offense, but when it comes to acting i prefer PMY! hans zhang everywhere.. i watched his ancient drama (the four), not my fave. i prefer him in a modern suit! hans has good chemistry with his co-star.. i hope it will work too with pmy.

  • Wow. The first thing that came to my mind on reading this was: Lee Mon Ho's ex girlfriend and current girlfriend! Hahaha

    Park Min Young may not be supremely talented actress but she knows how to act and has done quite good work in SKKS, Healer, City Hunter. Whereas Suzy can't act. Period.
