The Netflix series "Will It All Come True" is also drawing keen attention in the second week of its release. According to Netflix's Tudum TOP 10 website, 'Will It All Be Done' topped the global TOP 10 series (non-English) category with 8,000,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work) from the 6th to the 12th. On top of that, it was listed on the Top 10 list of 50 countries around the world, and Hong Kong, Peru, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, etc? It ranked first in 10 countries. In addition, the TV-OTT integrated drama released by Good Data Corporation proved its popularity by ranking No. 1 for two consecutive weeks.
Interest in Kim Woo-bin and Su-ji is as high as in her work. The two actors won first place (Suzy) and second place (Kim Woo-bin) for two consecutive weeks in the TV-OTT integrated drama topical cast category, and are receiving favorable reviews for their perfect acting transformation. In addition to showing a perfect 'tikitaka' as they reunited after nine years, they also increased their immersion with explosive acting in scenes where the characters' emotional lines are high. In particular, Suzy showed an emotionless Ga-young character.
Suzy said "I still have strong moments when I was immersed in Ga-young. Those moments mean a lot to me", and "Thanks to the viewers who loved the strange and beautiful "Will it come true", I scratched my heart as I remembered the time when I was immersed in this story again. Thank you for watching things beyond the scene. If you haven't watched it, I recommend you to come into this strange world," he said, expressing his appreciation.
The following is Suzy's full text of questions and answers.
- How did you interpret and act the whole Ga-young character
▶Gayoung has a personality disorder called 'Anti-Social Personality Disorder', and she did not try to approach it as a typical feeling of psychopath because she was taught by the love of her grandmother and villagers from an early age. I thought I wasn't interested in life because I lived like a robot that was outputted when I input it. So I basically stay expressionless and bored, and I also thought I wouldn't have bothered to hide that because everyone already sees themselves as psychopaths. Sadly, I wanted to express myself thinking that I was bad and terrible before I even realized my nature because I already recognized myself as a 'psychopath' or because people were pointing fingers. I tried to think of it as a psychopath that people know, not having to try to be a good person, just a family-style accident that lives by the rules.
In the past life, I tried to change my eyes and tone because I wanted to express myself as the opposite of the present Ga-young, who is more altruistic than anyone else. When I played the current Ga-young and played the previous life's Ga-young, I thought 'I'm happy to express and live.'" I tried to express it so that the contrast would be good.
- Ga-young's last wish, "Let us feel human emotions", is impressive. Why do you think you made that wish
I thought it was a persistent curiosity about the feeling of ▶ Samuda. After her grandmother's death, Ga-young was in a very anxious state because there was no weak safety device, and she thought she wanted to feel the emotions that she had not known and moved on only by routine and learning, looking back on the hearts of those around her who had watched through so many things. I think it's the real growth of Ga-young.
- It shows the opposite side of the drama. Do you have any special attention in acting or styling
▶Currently, Ga-young is a psychopath, so she doesn't care much about other people's eyes, and she has a lot of money, so she wanted there to be no restrictions on what she wears and rides on her way to work. I tried to match the colors that stand out and wear them as I wanted. Ga-young in her previous life often smeared her tone down without makeup, and she tried to express it as pure and affectionate as possible.
- one's favorite scene
▶I like the scene where the grandmother (Kim Mi-kyung) secretly wipes away tears by telling the young Ga-young a lot of emotions. It was so sad and warm to see how broken the grandmother who gave unconditional love would have taught Ga-young, and the expressionless face of the young Ga-young who did not know it.
- It's your first time working with Kim Eunsook. How was it
▶I thought the writer was like our 'Oh Pan-geum'. It was such a meaningful work. I didn't have much conversation, but I was encouraged by your generous encouragement and support along with feedback from time to time.
- Special efforts were made to save the 'taste of words' in the script written by Kim Eun-sook
▶I tried to get into the rhythm. Ga-young talks like a robot all the time, but 'Listen to me. I tried to say it clearly with the mind that 'Don't make me say it twice. I sometimes tried to speak in a strange rhythm, just as I learned the waltz of 'not to split the head, but to split the beat' in the work. Tiki-taka was important to actor Kim Woo-bin, but I am grateful that he accepted me well.
- Do you have any part that surprised or admired each other after a long time with actor Kim Woo-bin? What genre and character do you want to meet next time
▶I was especially surprised by the deep emotion line while filming the second half. It was a series of new and surprising moments, perhaps because it was a different work and character from the previous one. If we meet next time, I would like to meet with another completely different character and genre. Office water sounds fun.
- How was the shoot with actor Ahn Eunjin, who played Ga Young's grandmother on her mother's side
▶Actor Ahn Eun-jin's loveliness and energy were really good. There seems to be something about his smile that makes him feel good. In addition to the energy of the young sheet metal, in the second half, I was happy and sad when I acted because I could feel the deep sadness and affection for Ga-young at the same time.
- The chemistry between Suzy, Ahn Eun-jin, and Lee Ju-young is also very good. Do you have any fun episodes while acting
▶In the scene where Min-ji (Lee Joo-young) suspects Mi-Joo (Ahn Eun-jin), Sayed (Ko Kyu-pil), and Genie (Kim Woo-bin) from Ga-young's house, everyone had a hard time holding back laughter because of actor Ko Kyu-pil. Also, when Min-ji couldn't catch Ga-young leaving for Dubai and sat back and cried, the memory of actor Lee Joo-young asking for a hug for emotion remains deep. So I gave him a very warm hug.
- How did you feel about the shoot with Song Hye-kyo, who appeared in a special role as "Genie"
▶I was very nervous because I was not close to my senior at the time of filming. It was difficult because I had to take the picture with great checks because I was Genie's ex-girlfriend, but it was an honor, and I am personally very happy to get close to her after filming. Every time it rains after the shooting, I think of Jiniya and 'Do you feel uncomfortable?I joked around with ', but he was very happy to tell you this.
- I think it was hard to act out the Arabic lines
▶I practiced listening to the recorded voice without a break. It was so difficult that I could forget it when I turned around even after memorizing it all, but I was able to act with immersion before I knew it. Still, I thought it was a relief that there was not as much Arabic as the other characters. (laughs)
- If you define the love between Gayoung and Genie with a thousand-year-old narrative
▶Khabibti (my love)!
- Do you have any memorable reviews or reactions after the release
▶In the end, the reviews of those who felt the message of this story accurately that humanity is 'choice' are the most memorable. I felt so grateful as a person who played Ga-young who believed she was born bad but lived with the right choices.
- What do you think about your work's reactions
▶I think there are likes and dislikes in any work, and I think it's a very natural reaction. Therefore, I am more grateful to those who enjoyed watching it.
- You've been playing influential characters in each of your recent works. Is there a standard or reason for choosing a work
▶ Once the script is interesting, it becomes interesting. Above all, I think the character I'm going to play should be attractive, and I hope there's no overlap with all the characters. I haven't been following strong and intense things, but I think I just find the character attractive when I see the complex inner side of a human being.
- What does it mean to actress Suzy
▶The moments when I was immersed in Ga-young remain strong. Those moments mean a lot to me. Also, through this work, things such as affection and warmth became better. Warm is the best!
- To the viewers who love "Will It All Come True?"
▶Thanks to the viewers who loved the strange and beautiful "Will it come true?", I scratched my heart as I remembered the time when I was immersed in this story again. Thank you for watching things beyond the scene. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you to come into this strange world.
The fascinating fantasy romantic comedy 'Will It Come True?' is streaming ravely on Netflix.
