Hash's Shinru

On September 16, several Korean media outlets reported that Park Jinyoung and Jeon So-young had been chosen to play the lead roles in «Hash’s Shinru.».

«Hash’s Shinru» will be adapted from the web novel of the same name. The story will take place in the 15th-century Joseon and will bring together a particularly brilliant future monarch and a woman with a gift that is, to say the least, extraordinary.

Park Jinyoung was offered the role of Lee Hyang, a crown prince described as a brilliant scientist who seeks to contribute to Joseon's development. The character should therefore not be limited to the romantic storyline. His intellectual abilities and ambitions for the kingdom should play a significant role in his journey.

Jeon So-young, for her part, has received an offer to play the role of Hae Ru, a mysterious young woman with the ability to predict the future.

After a chance encounter with Lee Hyang, she ends up following the crown prince to the palace. She then helps him with his plans while gradually growing closer to him, paving the way for the romance at the heart of the story.

The encounter between the two characters will therefore be based on an interesting contrast: Lee Hyang relies on her intelligence and science to advance her kingdom, while Hae Ru can literally glimpse the future.

The drama also has a notable connection to « Love in the Moonlight ». Yoon Yi-soo, author of the original web novel «Hash’s Shinru,» will write the television adaptation herself. She is also the author of the web novel that served as the basis for «Love in the Moonlight,» the hit historical drama that aired in 2016 starring Park Bo-gum and Kim Yoo-jung.
