The new weekend miniseries 'Confidence Man KR' on TV CHOSUN portrays the first meeting of Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk.
Scheduled to premiere on September 6 (Saturday), the new weekend miniseries 'Confidence Man KR' (written by Hong Seung-hyun and Kim Da-hye, directed by Nam Ki-hoon, produced by TME Group) is a 'caper comedy' about three versatile con artists seeking revenge against the villains of this era.
'Confidence Man KR' draws attention with the collaboration of director Nam Ki-hoon, known for 'Casino,' 'Kiss Sixth Sense,' 'Oh My Baby,' and 'Voice 3,' along with writer Hong Seung-hyun from 'Criminal Mind' and 'Cheoyong 1, 2,' and the impressive writer Kim Da-hye. With the involvement of talented actors Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon, and Joo Jong-hyuk, it is now considered one of the most anticipated dramas of the second half of 2025.
In particular, Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk take on the roles of genius leader Yoon I-rang and the embodiment of innocence and righteousness, youngest member Myung Ku-ho, respectively, in 'Confidence Man KR.' Park Min-young transforms Yoon I-rang's fourth-dimensional traits, which utilize a top 1% intellect to deceive bad guys, into a vibrant charm, while Joo Jong-hyuk emits a relatable clumsiness as he struggles with his aversion to deceit while being swept into the persuasive arguments of his teammates.
In connection with this, Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk capture attention with a revealed 'fateful two-shot' of their transformed characters Yoon I-rang and Myung Ku-ho. In a scene where Myung Ku-ho (Joo Jong-hyuk) enjoys a peaceful moment by the beach, Yoon I-rang (Park Min-young) unexpectedly drops in on a paraglider, landing in Myung Ku-ho's arms. Yoon I-rang warmly greets him with a bright smile, while Myung Ku-ho, surprised and bewildered by the sudden embrace, displays a blend of emotions on his face.
Ultimately, Myung Ku-ho delivers a poignant remark, saying, "The moment you enter my life, peace is shattered," while their 'paragliding hug' signals a thrilling synergy that sets the stage for an extraordinary scene. Curiosity rises about what secrets may be hidden within this unusual dynamic created by the two characters.
Meanwhile, Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk have raised expectations for a game-changing performance by showcasing Yoon I-rang's cleverness and Myung Ku-ho's endearing charm. Park Min-young affectionately portrays Yoon I-rang's quirky face peeking out from a downed paraglider, evoking automatic smiles. Joo Jong-hyuk charms with his warm yet refreshing demeanor akin to the sunset, as Myung Ku-ho reacts with clarity and transparency to Yoon I-rang's unpredictable actions.
The production team heightened curiosity around this scene, stating, "Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk mark the beginning of 'Tom and Jerry chemistry.'" They also added, "'Confidence Man KR' is a work where the relational element, a significant advantage of 'K-drama,' is very intriguing. The relationship between Yoon I-rang and Myung Ku-ho, played by Park Min-young and Joo Jong-hyuk, is anticipated to unfold fascinatingly, so please look forward to it."
Meanwhile, 'Confidence Man KR' will simultaneously premiere on September 6 (Saturday) at 9:10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play, and it will be available in 240 countries and regions excluding Korea through Amazon Prime Video globally.
