The emotional arc of singer and actor IU stirred living room viewers.
IU, in MBC Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown (written by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Joon-hwa and Bae Hee-young), which aired on the 1st and 2nd, completed her character with delicate emotional acting.
IU convincingly portrayed Seong Hee-ju's emotional changes, from the altered feelings after a kiss with IAAN Daegun (Byeon Woo-seok) to suppressing emotions before the wedding, forcing back tears while hiding complex inner turmoil, and finally storming out of the room.
At the wedding ceremony her visuals exploded. She wore traditional wedding attire with poise and beauty, perfectly expressing Korean aesthetics, and even realistically depicted feeling awkward in unfamiliar clothing. A sudden fainting added tension, but after regaining consciousness she conveyed tender feelings naturally with a hug from IAAN Daegun.
Also, when breaking news about a contractual marriage broke, IU expressed her shaken inner feelings and bewilderment delicately through her eyes and facial expressions, heightening future tension.
In this way, IU made the character Seong Hee-ju more three-dimensional with acting that flexibly navigated a wide range of emotions. A source said, "She densely portrayed the changing emotional line through her eyes, voice tone and detailed expressions according to the situation, increasing the character's persuasiveness."
