The two phenomenal actors are set to work with a renowned creative team in a down-memory-lane-inspired story.
폭싹 속았수다 You Have Done Well (WT) is a new work penned by Im Sang Chun known for When The Camellia Blooms and Fight For My Way. In charge of directing is the equally brilliant Kim Won Seok of My Mister, Misaeng and Signal fame.
You Have Done Well threads on the story of Ae-soon and Gwan-shik who were hailed on Jeju Island in the 1950s. Interestingly, the drama takes the Jeju language title which translates to “thank you for your hard work, you were fooled”.
Paying homage to our parents’ bright days, the drama is an unassuming tribute to their times that will highlight our mothers’ first love stories; our fathers’ heroic tales; our grandmother’s turbulent days, and our grandfathers’ days of love.
Portraying Ae-soon, a rebellious girl who can’t sustain her stubbornness is Lee Ji Eun (IU).
Despite being less privileged, she is optimistic. She is a bold and courageous character who dreams of becoming a poet even when she can’t even go to school.
From the success of her first film, Broker, Lee Ji Eun intends to decorate her robust drama portfolio which includes the hit series, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Hotel Del Luna and My Mister. She will characterize Ae-soon’s youth with her persuasive portrayal.
Park Bo Gum takes the role of Gwan-shik whose persevering attitude knows no bounds. He is earnest and lives by the mantra that being diligent can work wonders.
However, he can’t channel that determination into romance. He does not know how to act when Ae-soon breaks down or cries. But he is a silent warrior who adores her and devotes his love and respect to Ae-soon.
Expected to lead and show his irreplaceable passion as an actor, Park Bo Gum aims to add his latest work to the roster of his well-loved dramas so far. That includes Reply 1988, Record of Youth, Encounter and Love In The Moonlight.
You Have Done Well is currently in the final stages of planning targeting to start pre-production in the first half of this year.
