Actress Moon So-ri confessed that she had many worries while playing a double role with IU.

In an interview for the Netflix series ‘Boomsak, I Was Fooled’ held at the Grand Ballroom of the Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 2nd, Moon So-ri said, “If two people play the same character, whoever takes over will feel burdened, no matter who did it.””But I think I should feel more burdened because I‘m older and more experienced. It’s natural to feel burdened.”He said, “IU is an actress I really like, so I was even more excited. Of course we will work hard, but since IU‘s fandom (Uaena) is big, I was worried that the fans might be disappointed when the role of ‘Ae-soon’ shifted from her to me,“ she said. ”As soon as the casting article came out, IU told me in real time that the fans really liked it. I was thankful that we overcame the first hurdle.“

Moon So-ri said, ”Of course, how could it be connected so perfectly when they are different people? I believed in the power of the story. Since the writer has drawn a character so solidly, I believed that that strength would help the viewers overcome the hurdle and tried to give it a try.“

‘I Got Fooled By Bangsadae’ is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of ‘rebelious girl’ Ae-soon‘until-sixteen‘iron’until-sixteen’ The lives of ‘Ae-soon’ and ‘Gwan-sik’, who go on an adventure together against the waves of life, are expressed through the four seasons.

Moon So-ri took over the role of ‘Ae-soon’ in her youth from IU and played the role of ‘Ae-soon’ in her middle age. She also acted as mother and daughter with IU, who played ‘Geum-myeong’, the daughter of ‘Ae-soon’. ‘Ae-soon’’s counterpart, ‘Gwan-sik’, were cast together by Park Bo-gum and Park Hae-joon, and they passionately acted out the roles of their youth and middle age.

Moon So-ri said about IU, who played ‘Geum-myeong’, ”I wonder if there‘s a daughter as good as her. Park Hae-joon and I both said, ’Whose daughter is she? She‘s amazing.’ She‘s really smart and straightforward. It’s not that she‘s skilled because she’s been in this industry for a long time, but I think what‘s great about her as an actress and a singer is her appearance. My daughter is also a fan of IU and she’s worthy of being a fan. People would call her an artist. I thought there were some respectable points to her,“ he said with great praise.
