Singer and actress IU (32) mentioned Yang Kwan-sik, the male lead who was like a fantasy in the play.

IU met with Sports Chosun at a hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 2nd and interviewed Netflix's original series 'I was completely fooled' (played by Lim Sang-chun, directed by Kim Won-seok). IU said of her chemistry with Park Bo-gum "I had a little relationship before, so I sometimes texted them to say hello, but while doing my work properly this time, I went through all four seasons for a year and saw a lot of admiration from the side. Even though they are the same age, they are much more mature than me, and they are much more serious and physical, and they are so friendly that they take care of people that they can't compare to me. He was such a great and proud colleague that he thought, 'I respect you.'" In addition, I think there was synergy because Bo-gum, who was in charge of the official ceremony, was in charge of the ceremony."

Then "As I looked at the eyes, I was always in the field with such a dorky, deep, honest, and so on." It was great that I reflected on such a scene and wanted to learn more than ever. After another year, I was surprised again when I met Bo-gum again and promoted him in a bright way. That wasn't all. It wasn't all I admired on the spot, and I felt another charm and showed enthusiasm for publicity. Even after 'Fall', Bo-gum filmed a work called 'Good Boy' not long ago, and while filming, he showed enthusiasm despite his busy schedule. It was also stimulating, so he said, "He is a reliable partner who does not ask or question everything that Mr. Bo-gum asks for, but does everything 'Okay'."




IU said, "'How did the character of Gwansik write it like this?' and 'How did he write a character called Gwansik who is so human and fantasy at the same time?' Bo-gum and Hae-jun in the role of Gwan-sik made it perfect, so I remember being amazed to see the Gwan-sik moving in front of my eyes. It was fortunate that Ae-soon was there, but many people thought that she loved the fantasy coolness of Gwan-sik, the love, tenacious faith, and solidarity that Ae-soon gave to Gwan-sik too fairly. To Gwan-sik, Ae-soon is a unicorn, and to Ae-soon, Gwan-sik is a unicorn. I think it's a perfect match for each person's life."

IU also said, `I think it was a new approach to the way Korean dramas express cool male figures. There are 'this way' and 'that way'. 'Is there anyone else in the world like Gwan-sik?' It seems that it did not affect my personal thoughts because he was too perfect and human to be based on Gwan-sik. As a reader, I'm a real fan of Gwan-sik."

When asked about his ideal type among Gwansik, Youngbeom, and Chungseop, IU said, "Of course, it's an official type. I wondered how Gwan-sik designed it so closely. It was amazing until the last episode. Even Gwan-sik's exit. The official ceremony as a father was also great, and it was a very happy point to continue to show affection with Ae-soon. There were many sad points, but the love between the two continued, which is why they couldn't do that for a moment."




IU also said she saw stories circulating online about Young-beom's character, adding that "Young-beom has a lot of regrets about the character." There is a pity that I do not hate. Nevertheless, he shouted 'Mother' too much. From Young-beom's point of view, he understands that it is to defend Geum-myeong as much as he can, but it seems that the two could not be achieved because they shouted 'Mother' too much. That's a bit different, but when I first read the script, it's going to be too hard for Lee JunyoungI thought, 'All' I thought it was very difficult for the gods to repeat the same words. Rather than pouring out a lot of emotions and reading it, you have to repeat one thing, but you have to feel the emotions, and you have to be different. 'Mother', 'Mother!', I thought it would be a difficult god as an actor because 'Mother' had to be another 'Mother', but watching them all do different 'Mother' made me more emotional, so I talked about it on the spot. I also thought, 'You should have said something else.'"

IU said "If my husband and Geum-myeong, and Eun-myeong, in a way, are the best families for each other in terms of family. If that's guaranteed (I'd like to get married). But it's not guaranteed. I think it's hard to jump to a conclusion about what life is."

'I was completely deceived' is a Netflix series that unravels the adventurous life of the Jeju-born 『Wishful Rebel" Ae-soon and 『The Eight-Bulled Castles" Gwan-sik in all four seasons. Upon the release of Act 1, it ranked first in the category of the 『Today's Korea TOP 10" series, proving the viewers' keen interest by maintaining the No. 1 spot even after Act 4 was released. In the third week of its release, it ranked No. 1 in the Global TOP 10 Series (non-English) category and ranked at the top of the Global TOP 10 Series (non-English) category since the first act's release, and steadily captivated viewers at home and abroad, 'I was tricked" recorded 6,000,000 viewers (the value of viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) after the fourth act was released, ranking third in the Global TOP 10 Series (non-English) category, and ended brilliantly on the Top 10 list in a total of 39 countries, including Bolivia, Chile, Morocco, the Philippines, and Malaysia, as well as South Korea.




IU played Oh Ae-soon and Yang Geum-myung in the play and received favorable reviews for her performance that encompassed both the mother's heart and the daughter's heart.
