The actress Joo Hyun-young, who has received much love as a national MZ character, is set to display a different kind of outgoing MZ character in the new film 'Pretty Crazy' directed by Lee Sang-geun (director Lee Sang-geun, provided/distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Oyu Nae Gang).
The film 'Pretty Crazy' is a devilish comedy that depicts the struggles of a young unemployed man, Gil-gu (Ahn Bo-hyun), who becomes embroiled in a bizarre part-time job monitoring Seon-ji (Lim Yoon-a), who wakes up as a devil every dawn.
The actress Joo Hyun-young, who has received much love as an icon of the MZ generation through dramas such as [The Strange Career of Park Young-hee], [Surviving as a Celebrity Manager], and [Extraordinary Attorney Woo], is set to debut on the screen as the somewhat bizarre outgoing MZ character Ara in the movie 'Pretty Crazy.' Ara, played by Joo Hyun-young, operates a bread bakery with her cousin Seon-ji while safeguarding the chilling secret of her sister, who transforms into a devil every night. She also plays a crucial role as a bridge between Gil-gu, a man from upstairs who protects Seon-ji, who has turned into a devil every dawn, and Seon-ji herself. Ara wields her dazzling verbal skills and witty humor in a manner befitting of an outgoing MZ, presenting a different kind of MZ character that is sure to bring laughter to the audience.
Joo Hyun-young explained her unique character, saying, "During the day, she's a bakery girl, and in the evening, she lives a life with twists as she dances in clubs; I think Ara is the most ordinary yet the most eccentric character among those in the movie." She also conveyed her affection for the character by stating, "I felt that Ara has some bolder aspects, but I realized she has very similar traits to me." Director Lee Sang-geun noted, "She was so charming that I really wanted to cast her in the film. I thought she was someone who does a lot of research," highlighting that Joo Hyun-young was his first choice for the role of Ara.
Through her extraordinary outgoing MZ character, actress Joo Hyun-young has completed a unique ensemble of young actors alongside Lim Yoon-a and Ahn Bo-hyun. Lee Sang-geun's 'Pretty Crazy' will be available in theaters nationwide on Aug. 13 (Wed.).
