Actress Park Min-young is making her return to the small screen after approximately six months.
Park Min-young will star in the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Nine to Six’ (written by Choi Ji-oh, directed by Lee Hyung-min and Oh Song-hee, produced by Studio S and Samhwa Networks), premiering on November 25, transforming into a workaholic legal team manager who is married to her work.
‘Nine to Six’ is an on-and-off work-life balance romance where a rational woman, who has proven herself through her work, meets a sweet and emotional man to rewrite the standards of work, love, and happiness.
In ‘Nine to Six’, Park Min-young plays Kang Yi-ji, a 100% logical legal team manager at Chronic Motors, showcasing sharp professional skills and a passionate workaholic side.
Anticipation is high for the return of the ‘office rom-com queen’ Park Min-young. Having built relatable and iconic characters in office romance genres such as Kim Mi-so in ‘What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim’, Jin Ha-kyung in ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’, and Kang Ji-won in ‘Marry My Husband’, attention is focused on the sophisticated charm she will portray through the 100% logical workaholic ‘Kang Yi-ji’.
Ahead of the premiere, stills released on the 22nd showed Kang Yi-ji sporting a neat blunt bob hairstyle and a flawless, sharp suit fit. Her shining gaze and resolute expression while on the phone in the office highlighted a professional demeanor that allows not a single flaw when it comes to work. Furthermore, in scenes where she faces off against company politics master Jung Ki-tae (played by Jo Bok-rae), she gazes coldly at him while engaging in a subtle war of nerves, raising curiosity about what will unfold.
The production team shared, “Park Min-young perfectly portrayed a realistic character struggling between work and love, earning high praise from the staff. Please look forward to Park Min-young’s romance and empathy-maximizing acting as she returns with a brand new character.”
