‘Bokssak Cheotsuda’ Moon So-ri to Play the Same Character as IU.

On the morning of the 5th, a production conference for the Netflix series ‘Bokssak Cheotsuda’ was held at the Grand Ballroom on the 3rd floor of the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Actors IU, Park Bo-gum, Moon So-ri, Park Hae-joon, and director Kim Won-seok attended the production conference that day.

On that day, Moon So-ri said about the parts she focused on while playing the same character as IU, “After all, we were filming first, so I was worried a lot while keeping the connection in mind. We talked about it a lot with each other. On the other hand, if I had really seen a picture of my mom when she was younger, I think it would be natural to think, ‘This is my mom? That’s ridiculous.‘ I thought that having some parts that are connected and some parts that are different would be closer to reality,” she said. “I thought that the speech patterns should be a little similar, so we even read each other’s lines interchangeably. Also, IU has a small mole, and that mole is like a signal to me, so I always asked the makeup team to put a mole on her. I tried to connect our actions and speech patterns in the script,” she said.

IU said, “The mole is mine, so it could have been erased. But my senior was considerate while putting it on. It made me feel like I was continuing to live with my original mole. My senior made the suggestion first, and I went to his house and talked a lot about the overall project. I talked about interesting things and became close to him, and we found common ground,” she added, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘BokSsakIwasuda’, which will be released on the 7th, is a Netflix series that unfolds the adventurous lives of ‘YeoMangJinHangul’Aesoon, born in Jeju, and ‘Iron Man,’PalBulChulMusoe’GwanSik, over the course of four seasons.

Writer Im Sang-choon of the dramas ‘When the Camellia Blooms’ ‘Fight My Way’ and director Kim Won-seok of the dramas ‘My Mister’ ‘Signal’ ‘Misaeng’ have joined forces.
