Park Jin-hee, who just wrapped up a drama with MBC’s The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry, is quick to return to television as the lead in the upcoming SBS drama Giant. She’ll be the leading lady to the drama’s main actor Lee Beom-soo, playing his first love.
Park’s character suffers childhood trauma after her mother is chased away by her stepmother. In order to hide her own inferiority complex, she treats Kang-mo (Lee Beom-soo) meanly and decides to marry another man, but eventually realizes her love for Kang-mo. The role will feature her from her twenties through forties, as the drama covers a twenty-year span, beginning in the 1970s era of urban growth in Korea. Also cast are Hwang Jung-eum, Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Bo-seok, and Nam Ji-hyun.
Hm… I haven’t been very interested in Giant but I do really like Kim Soo-hyun (who pairs again with his young Will It Snow For Christmas co-star), and now Park Jin-hee. May have to tune in periodically. Giant will premiere on May 10, following current historical drama Jejoongwon.

RECENTLY RECAPPED
Park Jin-hee has been so busy lately, I’m eager to follow her work since she has easily become one of my favorites after TWWSWTM.
We’ll see about this one. Like you, my interest has been so-so, but with Park I may tune in a lot more than I expected.
Wow, it’s amazing just how different Park Jin-hee looks with just a different hairstyle.
Oh I love her, but I’m still not totally sold on the premise of the drama. Maybe I’ll check the first ep and see if I like it. Hhmm, I wasn’t going to watch this, but now? *sighs* I don’t know.
She looks so beautiful in this picture. Love her hair, makeup and what she’s wearing.
There’s something so intelligent and strong about her beauty. Not an iota of ‘generic’ in her.
Kim Soo-hyun AND Nam Ji-hyun? That’s great news, I never knew about NJH! Heaven!
Definitely going to watch this soon as it’s out. Also, Park Jin-hee looks great and from what I’ve seen of her so far on SMM, she’s very likable.
She really is a work-a-holic, isn’t she? I had no interest in this drama but now she’s casted, I might have to turn in.
yeah srsly, it doesn’t sound so great but the cast, the cast!!!! not only kim soo hyun and nam ji hyun together again (WISFC should have been all theirs, seriously), but hwang jung eum too she’s so freaking adorable. haven’t seen the 2 leads in anything, but they’re always being praised, grrr. dilemma.
I am going to watch this one for sure. Love PJH. I wonder how she finds times to do all these works.
PJH might not be very famouse star in Korea but in my view her acting is WAY BETTER than majorities of the well known (overated) actresses.
Thanks for the good news…
I’m excited for all the rest of the cast (especially Park Jin Hee) except for the main lead actor, Lee Bum Soo. I was never too impressed with him to begin with.
Watching it JUST for Kim Soo Hyun <3
and i really like Park Jin-ee. She's really pretty haha
Park Jin Hee, Kim So Hyun and Lee Bum Soo. All in one drama <3 Can't wait

“There’s something so intelligent and strong about her beauty. Not an iota of ‘generic’ in her.”
Totally agree. Her teaming up with Lee Beom-soo would make an ‘intelligient pairing that should raise the bar of this drama.
nam ji hyun with kim soo hyun again???????? awesomeeeee!!!!!!!!!
I WANT IT TO COME NOW!!!!!!!
ugh!!!! i can’t wait any longer!!!!!!!!! hehehe
After SMM another drama of her again, its like a treat for us Park Jin Hee supporters.
I’m expecting that I will see her next drama by next year, coz she didn’t normally do 2 dramas at the same year.
And Giant composes of 50 episodes, it means that we’ll be watching her in full 6 months.
I’m going nuts over this!
Park Jin Hee’s usually photographed from the 3/4 view. She really knows how to pose with her nose.
“Wow, it’s amazing just how different Park Jin-hee looks with just a different hairstyle.”
Park Jin Hee is usually photographed with a full forehead. In TWWTGSPSPSPSPSPSPS, the full fringe really plays up her chin.
This is a GREAT news! I’ll be watching this while it airs again.
yup..one of my fav actresses too…
I know she’s still going to be GREAT in this kdrama GIANT. Keep up the good work… ” The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry ” is one of her good drama.
I am cherry. I am in Myanmar. I watched Giant film . I am interested Park Jin Hee . Her acting is so great and she is
so beautiful and I love her so much. And so I did the download her photos from the internet and printed them and I put them the walls of my room and my office.
