Actor Park Jae-chan successfully completed his first leading role and first historical drama with ‘Check In Hanyang’ breaking its own record for highest viewership ratings.

Park Jae-chan played the role of Go Soo-ra, who maintains friendship even when his life is threatened, in Channel A‘s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Check In Hanyang’, which ended on the 9th.

Although the inside and outside of Yongcheonru were in turmoil due to the conflict over the bribery policy, Go Soo-ra silently kept her place. Go Soo-ra protected Cheon Jun-hwa (played by Jung Gun-joo), who had turned evil, and showed her unchanging loyalty by telling Hong Deok-soo (played by Kim Ji-eun) a safe shortcut as she tried to escape Yongcheonru.

After that, Go Soo-ra was asked by Seol Mae-hwa (played by Kim Min-jung) to act as Eunseong-gun’s (played by Kim Hyun-jin), who was plotting a rebellion. Go Soo-ra accepted the offer that risked her life and asked, “Whether this succeeds or not, please help Namhae Merchant Group. And protect Cheon Jun-hwa and my friends.” Thanks to Go Soo-ra‘s efforts, Eunseong-gun was able to safely escape the assassins and the rebellion was successful. Yongcheonru was completely burned down by Cheonbangju’s rampage.

A year later, Go Soo-ra, who opened Namhae Yeogak, became the head of the company. He raised expectations for the birth of a ‘second Yongcheonru’ by working with the ‘Haona Four’ Lee Eun-ho (played by Bae In-hyeok), Hong Deok-soo, and Cheon Jun-hwa. Go Soo-ra personally conducted the interview for new employees at Namhae Yeogak, presenting a full happy ending.

In his first leading role, ‘Check In Hanyang’, Park Jae-chan realized the value of true friendship and grew, announcing the birth of a new character in his life. Park Jae-chan perfectly embodied the character of Go Soo-ra, who always says the right thing. In particular, Park Jae-chan received favorable reviews for his bright and positive appearance in the first half of the drama and his delicate portrayal of deepened emotions in the second half.

Park Jae-chan said through his agency Dongyo Entertainment, “As this was my first leading role, I had a lot of worries, but thanks to my seniors, I was able to finish filming while having fun and learning a lot. I think it will be sad to let Go Soo-ra go since she has a lot in common with me. I was happy to be able to spend my youth with the ‘Haona 4-member group’.”
