Actress Moon So-ri shared her thoughts on portraying the middle-aged version of IU‘s character in ‘Cheated on You’.

‘Cheated on You’, which will be released for four weeks starting March 7, is a Netflix original series that unfolds the adventurous lives of Jeju Island-born ‘rebel and virtuous woman’ Ae-soon (IU) and ‘unstoppable iron’ Gwan-sik (Park Bo-gum) through the four seasons. IU and Park Bo-gum will portray Ae-soon and Gwan-sik in their teens and twenties, respectively, while Moon So-ri and Park Hae-joon will play middle-aged characters in their forties and older, respectively.

At a production conference held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido on the 5th prior to the first broadcast, Moon So-ri said that as a fan of director Kim Won-seok and screenwriter Im Sang-chun, she was so happy just to be able to work on this production, and said, “I was so happy that I wanted to jump for joy just because the script they were preparing was given to me.”

She continued, “I cried so much every time I read the script. I thought of my parents. This is the first time since my debut that I’ve cried this much while reading the script.” She continued, “But when I asked who would play the young Ae-soon, they said IU. So I actually thought that would be difficult. At that time, I hesitated and even got scared,” he said, expressing his burden.

However, he added with a sly smile, “But I joined thinking, ‘The staff will help me a lot,’ and ‘The director will connect me!’”
