Actress Jae Suh Park thought it was a "mistake" when she heard she got the role of Marianne.Why? Because after auditions she did not hear back from the team for a month!

Season 2 of Netflix's 'Friends From College' has wrapped up filming and is slated to release this month. If you've wondered how vast gelled on set then Jae Suh Park, who plays Marianne, tells Meaww, that "giggles" spread like "wildfire."

In an exclusive conversation, the Korean-American actress shares how difficult it was to have critics brutally slay the "best character she has ever played", but what kept her driven were the fans who loved the show. They "will love the second season", Park assures. 

The 43-year-old actress, who's been married to Randall Park since 2008, believes that being a mother to a six-year-old daughter has made her an even better actress, thanks to the main attributes of motherhood; empathy and consideration.
