Emily in Paris follows the story of Emily (Collins) a driven twenty-something from the Midwest who moves to Paris for an unexpected job opportunity. Tasked with bringing an American point of view to a venerable French marketing firm, cultures clash as she adjusts to the challenges of life in a foreign city, while juggling her career, new friendships and love life.
Per the report, Park will play Mindy Chen, who befriends Emily during her journey, despite sharing a much different view of life in Paris.
