Will 'I was completely fooled' catch the hearts of viewers.
The first point to watch in the Netflix series 'I was completely deceived' is the life story of writer Lim Sang-chun and director Kim Won-seok, which unravels the adventurous life of Ae-soon and Gwansik born in Jeju in four seasons. Writer Lim Sang-chun, who was loved by viewers by creating characters with attractive narratives through dramas 'When the Camellia Blooms' and 'Ssam My Way', and director Kim Won-seok, who conveyed his warm comfort by delicately portraying the emotional lines of the characters with dramas 'My Mister', 'Signal' and 'Misaeng'. Even before its release, 'I was completely deceived', which drew attention from their meeting, realistically depicts various journeys in life, while unraveling the specialness and emotion in it.
Except for being born and raised together in Jeju, everything from one to ten is different 'Ae-soon' and 'Gwan-sik'. It tells the story of characters who left their lives like adventures in a turbulent world from their pure teenage years to their unpredictable youth and middle-aged years. Beyond the stories of the characters, 'I was completely deceived' will be established as a story of all of us regardless of gender, age, or nationality, conveying not only fun and joy, but also emotions and long lingering effects. In particular, 'I've been tricked' for four weeks is expected to deliver a variety of messages to viewers living today with precious people, from family to lovers and friends, making them feel warm spring.
The second point to watch is a special character ensemble presented by actors who trust and watch. IU and Park Bo-gum played 'Ae-soon' and 'Gwan-sik' in their youth. IU plays the role of a aspiring rebel who is not discouraged in front of anyone no matter what the situation comes, and performs passionately as a bold and bouncy three-dimensional character. Park Bo-gum plays the role of "Gwansik", a tough and clumsy character in front of "Ae-soon", who does any hard work without any sound.
Meanwhile, Moon So-ri and Park Hae-joon play the roles of 'Ae-soon' and 'Gwan-sik', who have become adults over the years. Moon So-ri deeply depicts a literary girl who dreamed of becoming a poet, 'Ae-soon', becoming brave and hard over time, and Park Hae-joon takes charge of the head of the cast iron 'Gwansik' to complete the character who does not mind doing bad things for his family with an absorbing performance. On top of that, acting actors such as Kim Yong-rim, Na Moon-hee, Yeom Hye-ran, Oh Min-ae, Choi Dae-hoon, Jang Hye-jin, Cha Mi-kyung, Lee Soo-mi, Baek Ji-won, Jung Hae-kyun, Oh Jung-se, and Um Ji-won fill their adventures full of 'Ae-soon' and 'Gwan-sik'. Those who complete a richer story by adding their own color to each work completed a vivid character in 'I was completely deceived'. The good performance of the actors, who played characters who seem to live and breathe around us, will add persuasive power to the story and double the audience's immersion.
The third point to watch is a production that vividly reflects the changing times from the 1960s to 2025. As it contains the turbulent life story of 'Ae-soon' and 'Official', it was important to melt the flow of time well 'I was deceived'. "I was completely deceived" is a drama in which the period has a profound effect on the characters, in short "The times are villain". As director Kim Won-seok said, "I thought that the better the realistic expression of the times, the better the characters and stories could be expressed and empathized, and I paid more attention to that." 'I was completely deceived" captures the changing trend of Korean society and realistically depicts the daily lives of people who have lived in that era.
Artistic director Ryu Sung-hee, such as the films 『Decision to Break Up』 and 『Alien + In" series, naturally follows the changing times in the works, including the old markets, canola flower fields, ports, and old theaters on Jeju Island, as well as the realistic and complex appearance of Seoul. In addition, director Kim Won-seok tried to save reality through constant consultations with the production team, including director Choi Yoon-man, VFX supervisor, and location manager. Detailed props are placed, colorful music utilization that makes people feel the atmosphere of the times, narration of 'Ae-soon' that appears in the middle of the work, makeup of characters that naturally change over time, and fairytale-like openings that melt the elements of the play. Delicate production, which cannot be left out of any one, is one of the points that should not be missed.
It will be released only on Netflix on March 7th, revealing the points to watch that should not be missed from human-smelling stories, ensembles of trustworthy actors, and well-made productions.
