Park Shin-hye also reportedly set to star in a new medical romance K-drama

Park Shin-hye was also reportedly in talks for another series a few months ago. According to reports from SPOTV News, the Gwangju native is most likely to headline the upcoming drama Chair Time.

Actress Park Shin-hye received an offer from the production team of the new drama 'Chair Time' and is currently reviewing it," Park Shin-hye's agency, SALT Entertainment, stated.

If confirmed, Chair Time will feature the K-drama actress as Lee In-young, a top dental hygienist and management consultant. Lee is known for turning around struggling dental clinics with her sharp skills.

On the surface, she appears to have all the answers. But behind her professional image, she deals with difficult personal struggles.

Focused on earning money, Lee takes on any problem as long as the price is right. However, her life transforms when she meets Jo Chi-soo, another dentist. Notably, the drama has subtle parallels to Doctor Slump.

Park Shin-hye starred in Doctor Slump too. That show also follows two struggling doctors who find comfort in each other. Chair Time will be directed by Lee Kwang Young, known for Call It Love. Though not officially confirmed, this could mark the South Korean star's return to a lighter romance after her recent dark fantasy role.
