After highly successful spins with What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? and Her Private Life, Park Min-young has moved outside her usual feminine, cutesy, Cinderella romcom characters, for a more melancholic role in JTBC's When the Weather is Fine. While her previous gigs were cheerful and comedic, amid a fast-paced and oftentimes cringey romance, her current project is the very opposite. With muted colours and a slow build-up, it might be a snoozer for some, but will prove just the tonic for others. Read on to find out if it’s the next show for you to get hooked on.
