Park Shin-yang’s drama comeback
by girlfriday
Actor Park Shin-yang (Painter of the Wind, Lovers in Paris, The Letter) is making his drama comeback after a two-year hiatus.
Park faced some legal trouble with the Drama Association (a pay dispute regarding 2007’s War of Money) and was forced to take a hiatus. He’s returning after a two-year break, and the new project’s production company has no affiliation with the Drama Association, leaving Park in the clear.
His comeback vehicle will be Heaven, a medical investigation drama, where Park will play the nation’s top forensic doctor. He will, of course, have quirks and an odd personality, to offset the awesome internationally-acclaimed doctor part.
Not a terribly new character, for those of us who grew up on procedurals, but Park’s an established actor with a broad range. If anyone can convincingly do ‘mad scientist,’ it’s this guy. The character is described as wary of others and untrusting, but as he starts to collide with the real world, other facets of his personality will emerge.
The rest of the casting is underway, and Heaven plans to start shooting in November.

Just few days ago I was looking for information about his current activities. I am happy his talent wasn't buried because of legal problems :))))
Looking forward!

i love park shin yang! so glad he is able to make a comeback to dramas now after that horrible incident where he got banned from the drama stations (and it wasn't even his fault! he was just asking for his unpaid wages....). now i've got another drama to start looking forward to!

Finally! I was waiting for his comeback. If you replace "brilliant forensic doctor with quirks" with "brilliant neuroscientist with quirks", you get Mr Brain's KimuTaku's Ryusuke. Hee. Looking forward to the drama even if it's a medical, which I usually don't like.

Aww he's too adorable for words in that 1st pic...esp. if he borrowed someone else's dainty hands :P
I'll never, ever forget this moment in The Big Swindle: He's a dowdy book-keeper walking past a couple who insults him. Spinning around, in mid-walk he suddenly transforms from the meek disguise to his "real" personality of an alpha, dominating over the smart-mouth, simply by asking for a cigarette *politely*.
You can rewind that bit forever, and still never catch when, where exactly he switched between the 2 personalities. For sure he did - what a miracle bit of acting.

So his mad scientist persona will be a mix of Gregory House meets Kiina (Japanese series) meets MR. BRAIN (Japanese series).
Either way it's good to see he's returning to the small screen after the trouble he got into after asking for his unpaid wages.

i'm trying to imagine a korean-type house and it's not working
it's more park shin-yang's hair messed up like a crazy scientist muttering some weird garbled nonsense haha
i'm sure he'll be able to deliver in his role. man, i still remember the old days when my mum, sister and i avidly watched lovers in paris borrowed from the local korean video store. i never saw what was great about him (i was so young >_>) but he's got something that defies generation gaps. same with - oh crap i've forgotten his name, but the protagonist for emperor of the sea.
yaaay. excited.

I still do not understand what Park Shin-yang did wrong with War of Money. If the producers were willing to pay PSY a lot of money for the extension, why is it not okay for him to accept the money?

what a win! i seriously think that his whole being banned from doing dramas with companies associated with the drama association was kind of bs regardless of who was at fault. the man's a great actor and definitely deserves to do what he does best. that being said, im excited for his comeback...it's about time! i was getting scared that he wasn't going to come back at all...

Hope the female cast will be KIM JUNG EUN (LIP). They have a very good chemistry with each other and their acting connection is real strong!!!
Also, hope there would be another drama again like LIP, perhaps LIP 2 with PSY & KJE ....... hihihi
