TV CHOSUN's new weekend mini-series, 'The Confidence Man KR,' is set to captivate audiences with its premiere tonight, September 6th. The drama promises a fresh take on the caper comedy genre, featuring three cunning con artists taking on villains in a thrilling revenge plot.

Ahead of the broadcast, the production team has unveiled four key 'watching points' to amp up anticipation. First, the stellar cast performance: Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon, and Joo Jong-hyuk are set to deliver a powerful acting display. Park Min-young as the brilliant leader Yoon Ira-rang, Park Hee-soon as the wise mentor James, and Joo Jong-hyuk as the endearingly clumsy maknae, are all poised to showcase their versatile talents.

Second, the narrative penned by Hong Seung-hyun and Kim Da-hye offers a high-octane cathartic storyline. Their 'financial therapy revenge' concept, targeting only the wicked, guarantees thrilling twists and turns with the protagonists' audacious cons. Third, director Nam Ki-hoon's visionary direction promises an endless visual feast. The elaborate heist plans, executed across diverse locations and genres, will offer a grand scale and dynamic shifts, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

Finally, the adaptation skillfully blends the strengths of K-dramas with the original Japanese series 'The Confidence Man JP.' By delving into the protagonists' backstories and motivations, the drama aims to build stronger emotional connections and relatability, a hallmark of successful K-content. The production team expressed their excitement, confident that 'The Confidence Man KR' will be a 'stress-out drama' that blows away the week's worries with non-stop fun and surprises.

'The Confidence Man KR' will premiere simultaneously on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play at 9:10 PM tonight. International viewers can catch the series in 240 countries and regions via Amazon Prime Video.

Park Min-young, a renowned actress, has a strong track record in romantic comedies, captivating audiences with her charm in dramas like 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.' In 'The Confidence Man KR,' she takes on a more sophisticated role as the intelligent and charismatic leader of the con artist team. Her portrayal of Yoon Ira-rang, a character with an IQ of 165, is expected to reveal a new facet of her acting prowess.
