Bae Suzy garnered appreciation for her challenging role in the latest Netflix K-drama, Doona! She essayed a retired K-pop idol who falls in love with a regular college student, Lee Won-Jun. The series sheds light on the struggles of a young K-pop idol.

Explaining Suzy’s casting in the “making of” video, director Lee Jung-Hyo said, “When I decided to work on Doona!, I had the same thought as everybody else, ‘Suzy is the only one for the role.’”

He further mentioned that he wanted viewers to see how beautifully the actress portrayed the character. He hoped that fans sympathize and understand Doona.

Jung-Hyo moved on to explain Yang Se-Jong’s Won-Jun. The character is innocent and pure and thus the director wondered where he would find the perfect actor for the role. He said, “Yang Se-Jong is always serious, and he expresses his feelings without hesitation. That’s why Se-Jong was quite suitable for the role of Won-Jun.”
