When asked how she prepared for the role, Park Shin Hye replied, “Because Hee Joo runs a hostel in Grenada, some of my lines are in Spanish. I started learning the language because I wanted it to sound as natural as possible. I also made sure to read up on various guide books on the Alhambra as well as I have to play a tour guide.”

 

Park Shin Hye revealed that she especially put a lot of effort into learning how to play “Memories of the Alhambra”, a legendary classical guitar song. She explained, “It’s such a famous and difficult song, so I felt a lot of pressure about it.

I even practiced with a slowed-down version of the song at first to build my skills up.”

It’s a drama that anyone can enjoy, so please anticipate it.”
