Park Jinyoung and Jeon So Young Consider Lead Roles in Historical Romance ‘Hash’s Shinru’

Park Jinyoung and Jeon So Young may become the leads of the upcoming historical romance ‘Hash’s Shinru’. Both actors have received offers for the project, which pairs a brilliant royal figure from 15th-century Joseon with a mysterious woman able to predict the future.

The casting remains under review. After reports said the two actors had been selected as the leads, their agency BH Entertainment clarified that the drama is one of the projects offered to them. No final participation announcement has been made.

A scientist prince and a woman who sees the future

Park Jinyoung has reportedly been offered the role of Crown Prince Lee Hyang. The character is described as both a genius scientist and a monarch, with an ambition to advance Joseon. That combination places intellectual curiosity and royal responsibility at the center of his proposed role.

Jeon So Young is considering the part of Hae Ru, a mysterious figure with the ability to see what lies ahead. She enters the palace after following Crown Prince Lee Hyang and helps him as their emotional connection develops.

The two character descriptions create a natural contrast. Lee Hyang looks toward progress through knowledge and action, while Hae Ru possesses information about events that have not yet occurred. Their partnership can therefore connect historical ambition with a supernatural view of the future.

Romance inside a 15th-century royal setting

‘Hash’s Shinru’ is set in 15th-century Joseon and centers on the relationship between Lee Hyang and Hae Ru. The palace is more than a backdrop: Lee Hyang’s position as crown prince makes his work and choices part of the kingdom’s future, while Hae Ru enters that environment as an outsider with an unusual gift.

Hae Ru’s decision to assist Lee Hyang also gives the romance a practical foundation. She does not simply meet the prince; she follows him into the palace and becomes involved in what he is trying to accomplish. Their shared work creates the conditions for trust and affection to grow.

The premise combines several forms of anticipation. Lee Hyang is focused on advancing Joseon, Hae Ru can predict the future, and viewers will know that the casting itself is still being considered. Until the actors confirm their roles, both the fictional partnership and its on-screen form remain possibilities rather than completed facts.

The original novelist returns as screenwriter

The drama is based on a popular web novel of the same name. Its author, Yoon Yi Soo, is also writing the television script, keeping the adaptation directly connected to the person who created Lee Hyang and Hae Ru’s original story.

Yoon Yi Soo also wrote the source web novel behind ‘Love in the Moonlight.’ That connection gives ‘Hash’s Shinru’ a notable creative link to another historical romance adaptation, while the new project retains its own combination of science, prophecy, and palace relationships.

Having the original author handle the script creates continuity between the web novel and the drama’s development. It does not determine how every element will be adapted, but it places the characters’ creator in charge of translating the story into a screen format.

What the casting offers would mean

If Park Jinyoung accepts, he would portray a prince defined not only by status but also by scientific ability and a program for national advancement. The role would require him to balance personal ambition, political position, and a relationship with someone who may know what consequences lie ahead.

If Jeon So Young joins, Hae Ru would place her at the center of both the romance and the drama’s speculative element. Her foresight can affect palace decisions, but her growing feelings for Lee Hyang may make knowledge of the future emotionally complicated.

The project is currently best understood as a promising casting possibility. Park Jinyoung and Jeon So Young are considering the offers, the central roles have been outlined, and the original novelist is preparing the script. Confirmation of the leads will determine whether this proposed pairing becomes the face of ‘Hash’s Shinru.’
