Actor Park Yoo Hwan has been cast in the new drama series starring Hwang Jung Eum, Park Seo Joon, Go Joon Hee and Super Junior's Choi Si Won. He will play the role of Kim Joon Woo in "She Was Pretty" aka "She Was Beautiful."
It's a drama about a pretty rich girl whose looks suffer when she becomes poor and a young man who becomes more attractive after losing weight. So far, no description has been supplied for the character Park Yoo Hwan plays.
His character was a charming addition to the cast of the romantic comedy "I Need Romance 3," when he played the only male member of Kim So Yeon's fashion team. So, viewers can expect him to add extra charm to the upcoming comedy.

Park Yoo Hwan has called his older brother "a treasure" and said that when he was young he thought all relationships were as close as theirs.
When Park Yoo Chun returned to Korea to debut in DBSK, Yoo Hwan was happy to not to have to share his room.

3. Playing Soo Ae's younger brother earned him a Best New TV Actor nomination at the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards. Park played Lee Moon Kwon in the 2011 drama "A Thousand Days Promise." His brother won a rookie award at a previous ceremony.
4. His first leading role was in the drama "K-Pop: The Ultimate Audition." He played the bad tempered leader of a boy band. Ko Eun Ah also starred in the drama. In real life she is the older sister of MBLAQ's Mir.
5. His most important qualification for finding the right woman is communication. In an interview with Newsen, he was asked about his ideal type.
"I put physical appearance at the bottom of the list when it comes to considering the opposite gender. I don't think physical looks contribute much to a relationship, no matter how beautiful the person is. A relationship lasts long, when there is good communication. I hope I can meet someone who I can share my heart with."
For the record, in 2014, he said that he mostly dates women who are older than him.
