IU will be back in a K-drama after 3 years!
K-Pop Blog > News> IU
After more than three years, IU is finally back in a new K-drama! She is almost as successful as an actress as she is as a singer and is regularly praised for her talent. Of course, IU has also won several awards for her acting performances.
So we are definitely not the only ones who are looking forward to the new project! Especially since the male lead is played by popular actor Park Bo Gum.
The drama is called "I Was Fooled".
The literal translation from the original Korean title is "You Have Done Well".
The series is set around 1950 on Jeju Island. IU will take on the role of "Ae Soon," a girl from a poor family.
Ae Soon can't even attend a proper school, but dreams of becoming a poet. She is rebellious, but whenever she tries to speak her mind to others, her voice shakes like crazy.
Sounds funny, doesn't it? We can't wait to see how IU will portray these traits!
Park Bo Gum plays Gwan Shik, a hard-working, diligent and very quiet young warrior. He is loyal and only has eyes for Ae Soon. However, he has no idea about romance and doesn't know how to act around her. When she cries or laughs, he is at a loss.
The series will follow the love story of these two through several seasons. Filming is scheduled to begin in the first half of this year!
The script will be written by writer Im Sang Choon, who is known for successful series such as "Fight For My Way" and "When the Camellia Blooms". The director is "Kim Won Seok" with whom IU has already worked on the series "My Mister" (2018).
As mentioned earlier, it has been years since IU has been featured in a K-drama:
Most recently, the fantasy series "Hotel Del Luna" aired from July to September 2019. In it, IU plays a moody woman who has been doomed to run a haunted hotel for more than 1,000 years. She helps her guests cross over into the afterlife.
However, a movie called "Broker" was actually released in June 2022, in which IU embodies a single mother who gives her baby up for adoption but has second thoughts after the fact. Have you seen the movie yet?
Park Bo Gum has also kept his fans waiting for a while now:
His last movie "Seo Book" aired in 2021 and his last series "Record of Youth" even aired in 2020. The reason, of course, is that he did his military service from August 2020 to February 2022.
He was not only a hardworking soldier, as we can see from the fact that he was promoted to sergeant in November 2021. In addition, during this time, he also learned to cut hair and obtained a license as a hairdresser.
In Seo Bok, Park Bo Gum took on the role of a human clone and in Record of Youth, he played a model who dreams of becoming an actor.
What are your favorite works by the two? We especially like "Love in the Moonlight" by Park Bo Gum and we have watched "Moon Lovers" starring IU at least five times!
