Actress Park Gyu Young is the rising actress to watch right now! We loved to hate her in the K-drama It’s Okay To Not Be Okay (more on that later!) and she’s slowly winning our hearts in The Devil Judge, but she’s got more roles in her arsenal that will have you hooked.
You might be surprised to realize you’ve actually seen her in other dramas you’ve watched before. Read on to learn more about Gyo Young’s past work! Which one is your favorite?
Early Projects
1. Solomon’s Perjury (2016-2017)
This is the first Park Gyu Young drama we watched, and it’s a doozy. It made both our minds and hearts hurt! When high school student Lee So Woo (Seo Young Joo) falls to his death, a fellow student says he was murdered, but the adults don’t pay attention. Tired of how no one is listening to them, the students stage their own trial at school in a bid to uncover the truth. Gyu Young plays popular girl Hye Rin, girlfriend of Woo Hyuk (Baek Chul Min), the main suspect for So Woo’s death.

2. Magic School (2017)
In this short web drama, Park Gyu Young plays Woo Ri, best friend of our lead guy, Na Ra (GOT7’s Jinyoung). Na Ra is in love with Woo Ri, and he decides to learn magic partly so that he can confess to her. Their scenes together are so sweet we have cavities! He discovers the joy of magic and making people happy along the way. The drama also stars more cute men: 2PM’s Nichkhun and Yoon Park.

4. The Tale Of Nokdu (2019)
From rom-coms, we go to historical dramas. The Tale of Nokdu follows two half-brothers and their divergent paths during the Donghak Peasant Revolution.

Legitimate younger son Baek Yi Hyun (Yoon Shi Yoon) doesn’t treat his brother differently, and the two share a beautiful bond. Things change during the revolution and they find themselves on opposite sides of the fence: Yi Hyun in the military and Yi Kang in the rebellion. Gyu Young plays the lovely Hwang Mung Shim, Yi Hyun’s betrothed from an arranged marriage. Mung Shim slowly falls in love with him, unaware that he will soon be drafted as a soldier.
