"Weak Hero Class 1" Park Ji Hoon Plays a Prince with Two Personalities in "Fantasy Sonata"

The first stills of Park Ji Hoon from the upcoming KBS 2TV's historical drama Fantasy Sonata have been unveiled. 

Fantasy Sonata is based on a popular webtoon of the same name. It tells the story of a man with two contrasting personalities and a woman who plans to assassinate him.

Park Ji Hoon, who rose to fame with Weak Hero Class 1, takes on the role of Prince Sajo Hyun, who has two identities, Sajo Hyun and Ak Hee. This is the first time the actor will be seen in dual roles since his debut in the industry. 

In the released stills, Park Ji Hoon is shown wearing a hanbok. Particularly notable are the contrasting vibes of brightness and darkness that he exudes. He also effortlessly depicts a prince's elegance and allure.

Sajo Hyun, blessed with striking looks and a sharp intellect, conceals his true identity and works as a fashion designer in a low-street clothing store. On the other hand, Ak hee, his alter ego, has the talent to charm people but suffers a curse that gives him excruciating pain, like he is being torn when touched.

The story sparks curiosity about how a man with two completely opposite personalities will navigate his struggles as he becomes entangled with the people around him.

Additionally, anticipation builds for the unique tale between him and Yeon Wol (Hong Ye Ji), who unknowingly becomes the prince's concubine while living as a fallen descendant of a fallen dynasty.

Fantasy Sonata is a collaboration between Moment at Eighteen screenwriter Yoon Kyung Ah and Angel's Last Mission: Love and Healer director Lee Jung Sub.

Fantasy Sonata is scheduled to air in January 2024. The K-drama will take over the time slot of The Matchmakers.
