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 says, "People around me sent me a lot of supportive messages. Since people who have not been in touch for a long time have responded, it seems that all generations of people who are working have formed a consensus. It's rewarding and happy. Expectations for grades have not been made because I do not know the standards. Netflix also spoke vaguely about ambiguous standards, so I didn't know how much I had to do it, but I met Netflix, and I guess it's going well as I saw good expressions, congratulations, and satisfactory things. be on one's mind."
IU is famous for meeting with writer Lim Sang-chun and deciding to appear before she even received the script for 'I was completely deceived'. IU was a huge fan of Im Sang-chun. I personally didn't know him, but I got a call one day. So I went to the writer's studio right away and had a meeting, and before receiving the script myself, I heard the explanation of the script first. My heart was beating so fast. even before reading the script. It's good to talk to the writer, but I said, "Can I go and read it quickly?" I was so curious that I couldn't concentrate on the conversation. It's a story and story that hits my heart even when I've heard it for a while, so I want to go home and read it quickly and ' right away. I said, 'Please, I want to do it. It went smoothly.'"
Looking back at the shooting, IU said, "There were definitely tough days. Director Kim Won-seok is delicate and has his own standards to not compromise well, so it would be a lie if he didn't say so, but he filmed every day of filming 'Fall' for today. It was the biggest reward for a year of filming tomorrow, and I often fell asleep because I was tired when I came back after filming, but I don't think there was a day when I fell asleep with a feeling of regret or difficulty. It was worthwhile. It was a work that was personally rewarding because I was able to keep my mind upright with the mindset of doing well today and tomorrow as well as today.'
IU also said, "It's my first time filming with such a long breath. I wanted to test my persistence on my own, and I put myself in the corner and said, 'Are you having a hard time right now? Is it okay if you're having a hard time?' I did this while driving myself. Every day seems to have been a good training for me, and it seems to be a time when I was able to keep my promise that I wanted to keep, so I could develop self-love for myself. There were many times when some works were filmed and then 'I'm really disappointed in you' But this time, I feel like I can say that I kept the promise I made on my own, and that's a compliment. Is being able to be on a really great board successful enough for me to be on this board?' I thought it was a good life and a grateful life. In itself 'Ji-eun had a big time' I want to. There is a line in the play that says 'Ae-soon played big once', and 'Ji-eun played big once. I've had a lot of fun. I feel like this."
'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.
