Lee Yi Kyung is officially returning to the screen in The Confidence Man KR, and fans couldn’t be more excited—especially because this means a reunion with actress Park Min Young. The two actors previously worked together in the widely discussed drama Marry My Husband, where their on-screen chemistry, though rooted in a toxic relationship, left a strong impression on viewers. Now, they’re coming back in a completely different setting and genre, which has stirred up anticipation among drama fans.
According to a report by Korean media outlet My Daily on July 9, Lee Yi Kyung will be making a special appearance in The Confidence Man KR, the Korean remake of the hit Japanese series The Confidence Man JP, which originally aired in 2018. While this version will keep the vibrant and fast-paced style of the original, it promises new twists and a fresh storyline tailored for Korean audiences.
Lee Yi Kyung’s decision to join the project wasn’t just about the script or the show’s popularity. A source from the production revealed that one of the main reasons he agreed to the cameo was his close friendship with Park Min Young. Details about his role are still under wraps, but the team has teased that his appearance will be both memorable and entertaining—likely giving fans something unexpected to look forward to.
For those who watched Marry My Husband, this news is especially exciting. In that drama, Lee Yi Kyung played the selfish and manipulative Park Min Hwan, who was married to Park Min Young’s character, Kang Ji Won. Their complex and often painful dynamic added a lot of depth to the show. So, seeing them share the screen again—possibly in a lighter or more mischievous setting—will feel like a fun twist for viewers familiar with their past work together.
The Confidence Man KR will follow the bold adventures of three highly skilled con artists who use intelligence, charm, and clever disguises to scam the rich and powerful. These aren’t random scams—they specifically go after corrupt figures in high places, making each mission feel like a smart, justice-driven heist.
Park Min Young will take the lead as Yoon Yi Rang, a brilliant and charismatic scammer who leads the group. This role marks a big change for her, moving away from emotional dramas to something more dynamic and playful. Fans will get to see her in a whole new light, as someone who’s clever, confident, and not afraid to manipulate her targets to serve a greater cause.
The Confidence Man KR is expected to air in the second half of 2025. While the full cast hasn’t been revealed yet, the growing buzz around it suggests more big names might be involved. As updates continue to roll in, one thing’s clear—Park Min Young and Lee Yi Kyung teaming up again, even briefly, is already one of the drama’s biggest draws.
