Park Se Young will act as a warm helping hand in “Mental Coach Jegal”!
tvN’s “Mental Coach Jegal” is a sports drama about a former national athlete who quits sports after causing a scandal and becomes a mental coach to help both former professional athletes who have retired and current athletes who have fallen into a slump.
Jung Woo stars as former national Taekwondo athlete Je Gal Gil who later becomes a mental coach at the athlete’s village. Lee Yoo Mi stars as Cha Ga Eul, a short track speed skating gold medalist who’s fallen into a slump.
Park Se Young plays doctor Park Seung Ha who is a part of the mental health support team in the athlete’s village. When she meets Je Gal Gil as her first patient, Park Seung Ha experiences an unexpected hardship and ends up leaving the hospital. After applying to the athlete’s village instead, she surprisingly reunites with Je Gal Gil who is now her work partner and not her patient.
In Park Se Young’s new stills, she captures the intelligent and serious aura of Park Seung Ha as well as her clean and modern styling. While she’s typically a soft-spoken and smiley person, Park Seung Ha is perfectly serious and professional when on the job.
The third photo shows Park Seung Ha in the stands, watching the athletes she works with compete. Despite not competing herself, Park Seung Ha expresses the same amount of nerves with her hands tightly clasped and her gaze fixed on the competition, depicting just how earnestly she supports the athletes.
Stay tuned to learn more about what kind of mental care Park Seung Ha offers these athletes and how her relationship with Je Gal Gil will develop when they meet again as work partners.
The production team of “Mental Coach Jegal” shared, “With meticulous character research, right from the first filming, Park Se Young obviously perfectly melted into her character of psychological support team doctor Park Seung Ha, who is intelligent and has a friendly charm. She’s also been uplifting spirits on set with her bright smile and positive energy. Please look forward to Park Se Young’s acting and hard work as she draws out the character of Park Seung Ha in an even more charming manner.”
