Dec 19, 2023

Park Min Young talked about how she prepared for her role in tvN’s upcoming drama “Marry My Husband”!

Based on the popular web novel of the same name, “Marry My Husband” tells the revenge story of the terminally ill Kang Ji Won (Park Min Young), who witnesses her best friend Jung Soo Min (Song Ha Yoon) and her husband Park Min Hwan (Lee Yi Kyung) having an affair—and is then murdered by her husband.

When Kang Ji Won is transported 10 years back into the past and gets a second chance at life, she winds up seeking revenge together with her boss Yoo Ji Hyeok (Na In Woo).

On how she felt when she first read the script for “Marry My Husband,” Park Min Young shared, “When I first came across the script, it was so fun that I read it all in one sitting. I was fascinated by Kang Ji Won, who is striving to live her life properly, and I had fun imagining how to portray her well.”

Park Min Young lost a significant amount of weight to portray Kang Ji Won, who is battling cancer. Commenting on the transformation, Park Min Young explained, “I tried to lose weight not just for the sake of being thin, but to express Kang Ji Won’s profound pain as much as I could.”

The actress also cut her hair short to dramatize Kang Ji Won’s transformation after she goes back in time. “Even when doing the same job, the Park Ji Won of the past and the Park Ji Won of the present have different purposes and different auras,” she noted. “However, I tried to create an intersection between them to show that they are the same person.”

Finally, Park Min Young pointed out what viewers should pay attention to in the drama. She commented, “The message of the drama is that you should be the master of your own life. There are scenes in almost every episode where Ji Won gradually realizes things about life and awakens, so I hope you’ll enjoy watching it.”
