Park Min Young, often dubbed the “queen of romantic comedies,” is taking on a bold new challenge with the upcoming TV CHOSUN weekend series Confidenceman KR. In a sharp departure from her usual roles, she will portray a cunning mastermind in what promises to be a stylish and thrilling Korean caper drama.
From Rom-Com to IQ 165: Park Min Young’s Most Daring Role Yet
In Confidenceman KR, Park Min Young plays Yoon I Rang, a genius swindler with an IQ of 165 and top-tier instincts. This role marks a significant shift from her previous well-loved characters in dramas like What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim and Marry My Husband. After the global success of Marry My Husband on Amazon Prime Video — where it topped charts in Europe, the Americas, and beyond — expectations are high for Park’s next big hit. Her transformation into a high-stakes con artist could well redefine her career.
A Charismatic Lineup with Chemistry to Watch
Joining Park Min Young are two dynamic actors: Park Hee Soon as the suave and mysterious gentleman “James,” and rising star Joo Jong Hyuk as the quirky and lovable “Myung Goo Ho.” Each brings unique charm and versatility, setting the stage for a compelling trio of tricksters. Their synergy is expected to add energy and depth to the story’s fast-paced, revenge-driven plots.
Simultaneous Global Launch Across Major Platforms
Confidenceman KR is making waves for more than just its cast. The drama will be released simultaneously on Amazon Prime Video, Coupang Play, and TV CHOSUN starting September 6 — a rare move that highlights the project’s massive scale. Amazon Prime’s global reach across over 240 countries, combined with Coupang Play’s domestic influence and TV CHOSUN’s core viewer base, positions the drama as a truly global venture.
Backed by veteran director Nam Ki Hoon (Casino, Voice 3) and screenwriter Hong Seung Hyun (Criminal Minds), Confidenceman KR blends suspense, humor, and social commentary into a genre-bending caper. It’s set to be one of the most talked-about K-dramas of late 2025.
