The theater play “Grandpa Henri And I”
Park So Dam stars in the play Grandpa Henry and I together with Yuri and Chae Soo Bin. The theater play is the Korean version of the 2012 French play L’étudiante et Monsieur Henri by Ivan Calbérac.
With the actor’s alternating performances, the Korean theatrical shows typically cast more than one actor for the same role.
Per Kdramastars, Grandpa Henry and I is a play that happily portrays the process of becoming special to each other.
The story revolves between the stubborn grandfather of Henri and the college student, Constance.
Park So Dam, Yuri, and Chae Soo Bin were all cast to play one character, which is the lead role as Constance. The said character is a college student wandering in search of her dream.
