In an exclusive interview, Bae Suzy, the star of the romantic K-drama'Doona!', shared her thoughts on the series finale and her incredible on-screen chemistry with Yang Se Jong. 'Doona!' is a heartwarming tale that revolves around the lives of Lee Doo Na (played by Suzy), a former idol singer, and Lee Won Joon (portrayed by Yang Se Jong), a college freshman, who unexpectedly become roommates.
Bae Suzy spoke passionately about her experience working with Yang Se Jong, saying, "Doona just really lets her emotions flow, and Won Joon is the one who's there to catch all of it. So, I made sure to express myself as much as I could. And Se Jeong, he was super open and receptive too, so we had tons of talks during rehearsals." Their genuine connection behind the scenes translated into the amazing chemistry viewers witnessed on-screen.
Suzy continued, "He's been Won Jun in my eyes since day one. After that table read and filming, he just fully embraced his character, and that made me trust him even more as an actor." Their commitment to their roles shone through, creating a truly memorable viewing experience for fans.
The drama takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster through the love story of Doona and Won Joon. Suzy shared her emotional journey during the series, saying, "I couldn't stop crying when I looked at him. I was crying a lot, even during rehearsals, so I was already pretty drained by the time the actual shooting started. So, I really pushed myself not to get overly emotional during rehearsals in the latter part of the series."
The K-drama concludes with an ambiguous ending for the two lead characters, leaving fans with lingering questions. Suzy shared her perspective on the ending, stating, "I hope my words don't turn into a definitive answer to the ending, but I feel like Won Joon and Doona have just gone back to their regular lives. They are so young, and it just makes more sense for them to return to their respective lives." The open-ended conclusion allows viewers to imagine the future of these beloved characters.
Director Lee Jung Hyo, known for his previous hit 'Crash Landing on You', expressed his excitement about 'Doona!' being available on Netflix. He explained, "Crash Landing on You is all about a love that conquers the fear of death, while Doona! is a sweet tale of first love memories. It's a drama where you can find as much enjoyment in the depth of emotions as in the narrative." He hopes that viewers will add 'Doona!' to their watchlist and rewatch it whenever they desire.
When asked about the ending of the series, Director Lee Jung Hyo shared, "I wanted to create a fantasy-like yet realistic romance between idol Doona (Suzy) and college student Won Jun (Yang Se Jong) through Doona!. Who knows how life will unfold, right? They might or might not cross paths again, but they'll always remember each other. Their memories could turn into reality someday, or maybe not." The director's thoughtful approach keeps the door open for the characters' future, sparking intrigue and discussions among fans.
In conclusion, 'Doona!' has left a profound impact on viewers with its heartfelt storytelling and the undeniable chemistry between Suzy and Yang Se Jong. The ambiguous ending, along with Director Lee Jung Hyo's artistic vision, ensures that 'Doona!' will continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of its audience, both now and in the future.
