Park Min Young Shines in New K-Drama 'Confidence Queen' - A Korean Adaptation of 'The Confidence Man JP'
The Queen of Disguises is Back Park Min Young is about to blow our minds once again, and honestly, we're not ready for this level of excellence! The Korean superstar has just dropped the first teaser for her upcoming drama " Confidence Queen ," and it's giving us serious chills in the best way possible. This isn't just another K-drama folks - it's a Korean adaptation of the 2018 Japanese comedy drama "The Confidence Man JP ," which means we're in for some serious mind-bending entertainment. The show follows three incredibly talented con artists who specialize in elaborate scams, but here's the twist - they only target the bad guys. Think of it as Korean Robin Hood meets Ocean's Eleven, but with way more style and sassiness. Park Min Young plays Yoon Yi Rang, a con artist with an IQ of 165 who's literally in the genius category - top 1 percent of the population. For context, that's like being the Sharma ji ka beta of intelligence, but instead of becoming an engineer or doctor, she chose to become a master of deception. Her character has this incredible combination of eccentric thinking and cold charisma that makes her the perfect leader for pulling off the most intricate schemes. The teaser opens with Yi Rang looking all traditional and elegant in a hanbok, but then - plot twist! - she reveals her badass side complete with back tattoos while declaring something that would make even the most hardcore Bollywood villain nervous: "You have to make them taste hell while they're alive". It's giving major Priyanka Chopra in "Don" vibes, and we're absolutely living for it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo The Art of Being a Genius Sociopath What makes this teaser absolutely addictive is watching Park Min Young transform into completely different personas within seconds. One moment she's a seductive woman in a striking red dress confidently stating "I can't stand losing," and the next she's literally throwing men over her shoulder while wearing an elegant vintage gown. The audacity! The range! We can't even decide what to wear for college, and here she is switching personalities like changing Instagram filters. The teaser showcases her in dozens of disguises - from a superstar with long pink hair to a flight attendant, from a woman in cheongsam to a confident doctor. It's like watching a one-person fashion show, but instead of just looking pretty, she's planning to outsmart villains. The level of commitment is reminiscent of our favorite Bollywood stars who completely disappear into their roles, except Yi Rang does it multiple times in a single episode. Details Confidence Man KR (also known as Confidence Queen) is a weekend mini-series directed by Nam Ki-hoon and written by Hong Seung-hyun. The drama features Park Min Young as the brilliant con artist Yoon Yi Rang, alongside Park Hee-soon as veteran scammer James and Joo Jong-hyuk as the innocent youngest member Myeong Gu-ho. This Korean remake of the popular Japanese series follows three multi-talented con artists who team up to seek revenge against the villains of our time.

‘I am going to have dal makhani right after this,' says Tara Sutaria after walking at the India Couture Week, blowing kisses to beau Veer Pahariya
Day 2 of the Hyundai India Couture Week in Delhi brought with it all the glitz, glamour, and a touch of real-life romance. The spotlight was firmly on designer Isha Jajodia, who showcased her stunning French fusion collection titled Whispers of Love to Myself. But it wasn't just the clothes that had everyone talking. Taking centre stage was Tara Sutaria, who looked like she'd stepped out of a modern-day fairytale. She closed the show in a soft pastel Chantilly lace ballgown paired with a shimmering corset, delicate chiffon trails flowing behind her. The look was ethereal, but it was a moment off-script that truly stole the show. As Nat King Cole's 'L-O-V-E' floated through the speakers, Tara made her way down the runway, smiling, playful, and fully in her element. But just as she reached the edge of the ramp, she glanced toward the front row, where her rumoured boyfriend, Veer Pahariya, was watching. The two locked eyes, subtly, but unmistakably. A flying kiss from Tara followed, which Veer returned with a cheeky wave. The chemistry? Unmissable. A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) Backstage, Tara revealed her plan to unwind. 'I am going to have dal makhani right after this walk, I just want to tell everybody that I am so excited for my dinner,' she told NDTV. The evening was filled with standout moments. Suneet Varma unveiled his new collection, Sehr, with Riddhima Kapoor Sahni walking as the showstopper. The pieces blended soft pastel tones with rich gold threadwork, creating an almost dreamy vibe. Riddhima's flowing cape and minimal styling made sure the outfit remained the hero. A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) Earlier during the couture week, Rahul Mishra kicked off Day 1 with his latest offering, Becoming Love. Actor Tamannaah Bhatia turned showstopper, showcasing not one but two looks from the collection. The designs seemed to draw from the celestial: think moonlit textures, galactic sparkles, and a poetic take on traditional couture. A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) This is just the beginning. With big names like Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, JJ Valaya, and even a posthumous collection from Rohit Bal still to come, the 18th edition of India Couture Week is shaping up to be one to remember.
