Unless the script changes dramatically, it is nearly confirmed that J.Y. Park will act in the drama." In the first season, J.Y. Park starred as the poor English teacher, Yang Jin Man. But he didn't just teach English -- he also taught the preparatory music lessons as well. While his role was very comedic, it was also very endearing. Through this, J.Y.
