India, Nov. 5 -- The queen of rom-coms, Park Min-young, has built a filmography playing women with agency over her two-decade-long career. However, she reveals that this was not always the case.

"When I first debuted, it was quite hard to find roles where the female characters were driven and had that much agency. I was quite hungry for those parts and roles. When I finally got to play a role like that, it felt like a sense of responsibility to make sure that it would be a success, so that other similar shows and parts could follow. I think I chose roles a couple of times in the beginning and then ended up getting more offers for those roles. So I guess that just naturally happened," she tells HT City in an exclusive interview.
