"I've still got a lot more to show."

Park Shin Hye celebrated her 11th debut anniversary in 2014, and the year of 2014 has been a very important year to Park Shin Hye for her career.

She made continuous hits with film 'The Tailors' and drama 'Pinocchio,' and deeply impressed many fans with her fabulous talent once again.

During an interview that she had in Seoul recently, Park Shin Hye said, "I cannot believe that 'Pinnochio' is over yet, and I always think about so many great memories that I made while playing in the drama."

◇ Park Shin Hye delays her university graduation to play in 'Pinocchio'

As the reporter asked her about how the year of 2014 was for her, she said, "I wrapped the year up with any regret," showing a bright smile.

Park Shin Hye said, "I was going to finish my university degree after finishing 'The Tailors,' but 'Pinocchio' made me to take another semester off. I had a fabulous fan meeting last year, and I also had a chance of working with some of the most amazing actors and actresses of Korea. I got to know a lot of great people, and it was great to play in 'Pinocchio.'"

Park Shin Hye played in drama 'Pinocchio' as a rookie news reporter named Choi In Ha, who has 'Pinocchio Syndrome,' which makes her to keep making hiccups whenever she tells lies. Lee Jong Seok played as a guy that Choi In Ha falls in love with, and many drama fans showed explosive reactions for the drama.

Park Shin Hye also worked with Lee Yoo Bi and Kim Young Gwang in 'Pinocchio,' and Park Shin Hye said, "I actually felt like I was starting a new career as a news reporter while playing in 'Pinocchio.'"

She went on, "All of the actors, actresses, and staffs had to go exhaustive schedules, but we never lost our fabulous teamwork. Jong Seok never lost his bright energy, Yoo Bi is also a fun girl, and Young Gwang also never lost his smile. Everyone was thankful even for very small things, and I never lost my happiness thanks to all of them."

Park Shin Hye successfully wrapped up the year of 2014, and she talked about her new year's resolutions. Park Shin Hye told that the first goal is graduating from university, and she said, "If I get to do a new work during the first half of the year, I hope it would be a film rather than a drama. I really want to finish my university degree this year, and I am quite worried about it. What about a drama like 'Pinocchio' allures me again?"


◇ "Many fans were surprised when they learned that the little girl in drama 'Stairway To Heaven' was me"

Back in 2003, Park Shin Hye played childhood of Choi Ji Woo (played as Han Jung Seo) in drama 'Stairway To Heaven.' She grew into a fine young lady, and became one of the most leading young actresses of Korea.

Her popularity started skyrocketing in China as well after 'The Inheritors' and 'Pinocchio' became big hits in the region, and Park Shin Hye said, "It is all thanks to so many senior actresses that 'The Inheritors' and 'Pinocchio' could make such big hits at overseas. I still have a long way to go compared to them."

She continued, "Their messages gave me a lot of good influences. Korean dramas are very well known for realistic settings and stories, and I think that is why so many people at overseas love our dramas."

She also said, "Many fans were surprised after learning that I was the little girl in 'Stairway To Heaven' who played Choi Ji Woo's childhood. Many people were surprised to see me on 'You're Beautiful' as well. Director who I met when I was playing in 'Stairway To Heaven' did not recognize me until I said hi to them."

Park Shin Hye told that she gets to meet director Hong Sung Chang, who she had worked with for drama 'You're Beautiful,' at least once a year. She also told that she is still keeping in touch with almost everyone who she had worked with in the past.

Director Park Shin Hye said, "Director Hong Sung Chang told me that he is very proud of me, and he also told me that he feels as if I am his own daughter. I am also keeping in touch with director Kang Shin Hyo and writer Kim Eun Sook of 'The Inheritors.' I also feel very thankful for Soo Jung and Min Hyuk's friendship. They visited me to a police station that I was having a shooting at, and I was so surprised. I love them so much."


◇ Park Shin Hye's attitude for future challenges

Park Shin Hye showed so many different sides of her through many different films, dramas, and OSTs. However, she told that she still has a lot more to show.

"I am trying to do one thing at a time, and I am glad that many people are recognizing my efforts. I also feel a lot of fun in my work, and I am very looking forward to future challenges. I am very curious about what new things I will get to do."

Regarding new things that she wants to do in the future, she said, "I really enjoyed drama 'Good Doctor,' and I also enjoyed 'Bad Guys' as well. When I grow a bit older, and get into my 30s, I want to do a drama in which single ladies of my age become the center. Doing a drama about a mother and a daughter also should be very fun."

Park Shin Hye told that she wants to have as much experiences as possible, just as she has done so far. "I believe that I will be able to do more things when I have more experiences, and I also believe that failures will mature me up. I will take all the time that I need, and try to do as many things as possible," she said.

Park Shin Hye also told that it is all thanks to so many great people around her that she could make all the way to where she are right now. She said, "I have a lot of thoughts and I always have a lot of troubles. I am also a very impatient person, and so great many people around me, like my agency's head director, always calms me down, and guides me through. I forget about many troubles thanks to many great people around me. It is a great luck to have them around me."

The smile that Park Shin Hye showed during the interview showed how happy she is for what she is doing, and she also showed much deeper side of her through the interview.
