'Memories of the Alhambra': Park shin-hye and EXO's Chanyeol make for perfect siblings

EXO’s main rapper Chanyeol is also going to have a significant role on the show. He is the genius, rightfully paranoid brother of Shin-hye's Jung Hee-joo.

Park Shin-hye is starring in one of the most anticipated series on Netflix this month, and that alone was reason enough for most of us to binge on ‘Memories of the Alhambra.’ But, guess what has EXO fans in a tizzy? EXO’s main rapper Chanyeol is also going to have a significant role on the show, but not as Shin-hye's love interest though, since that job is perfectly done by Hyun Bin.  

So, what is Chanyeol’s role? Well, he is the genius, rightfully paranoid brother of Shin-hye's Jung Hee-joo. From the trailer for the upcoming show, it looks like the two of them have a very complicated relationship, and unlike Chanyeol’s persona of “cheerful and bright,” it seems like his character is pretty jaded and dark. It sure seems to complement Shin-hye's character Hee-joo.
