2. Park Bo Young

Park Bo Young is a fine actor and fantasy-based dramas are her speciality! The talented actress has starred in many fantasy-based dramas like Oh My Ghost, Strong Woman Bong Soon and Abyss and has a solid track record with them. We hope the magic prevails with this one too, and we know Park Bo Young will shine as usual!

We cannot wait now.
