‘Navillera’ Cast Update 2023: Current, Upcoming Dramas of Song Kang, Park In Hwan
One of the underrated K-dramas of 2021, "Navillera," is a melodrama that made viewers cry buckets. It stars Song Kang and veteran actor Park In Hwan as male ballet dancers who have a different outlook on their passion for dancing.
It's not your typical rom-com or romance series since the webtoon-based K-drama focuses on friendship that transcends time and going after what you've always wanted in life.
Helmed by Han Dong Hwa of "Shadow Detective," Song Kang takes on the role of professional ballet dancer Lee Chae Rok. He has the talent and time to make a name for himself in the world of dancing, but he is not 100 percent for it.
He then meets a 70-year-old Shim Deok Chul. A former mailman whose lifelong dream was to become a ballet dancer, but due to his priorities in life, he had to give up his dream and work for his family.
As he realized that life was too stressful for him, he pursued his dream regardless of his age and what the people around him said.
From a dream to an unusual friendship, the 2021 series surely made an impact on some of the viewers. Unfortunately, the show was not renewed for a sequel.
Two years later, let's look back at the "Navillera" cast and see the current and upcoming projects for Song Kang and Park In Hwan.
Song Kang
In "Navillera," Song Kang proves his dedication to the role after he once revealed in an interview that he took several months to learn and train ballet.
After the lifedrama, the South Korean heartthrob landed another lead role in a webtoon-based K-drama.
Taking on the role of campus crush Park Jae Eon, Song Kang headlined "Nevertheless" with Han So Hee.
The following year, he teamed up with Hallyu queen Park Min Young for the rom-com K-drama "Forecasting Love and Weather."
Interestingly, Song Kang will reprise his role as Cha Hyun Woo in "Sweet Home" seasons 2 and 3. At the same time, he will also star in the action fantasy K-drama "My Demon" with Kim Yoo Jung and Lee Sang Yi.
Park In Hwan
Although he often plays the role of grandfather in various movies and K-dramas, the Park In Hwan character showcased an unusual yet sweet friendship with Lee Chae Rok and treated him as if he were his own grandson.
After "Navillera," viewers get to see the veteran actor as Kim Yo Hwan's grandfather in "School 2021" and also appear as a supporting actor in the 2022 series "It's Beautiful Now."
