IU Shares Behind-the-Scenes Challenges of Waltz Scene with Byeon Woo-seok
On the 28th, IU's official YouTube channel '이지금' released a video titled 'Behind the Scenes of the 21st Century Grand Duchess'.
In the video, IU practiced the waltz scene with actor Byeon Woo-seok. She humorously struggled with the direction of her head, prompting Byeon to gently correct her by saying, "No, the other way," while showing a kind demeanor.
Before the outdoor shoot, while practicing the waltz with Byeon Woo-seok, IU candidly admitted, "I can't do this scene," and "This scene isn't easy," which amused everyone on set.
The waltz scene was mostly completed with ad-libs. IU couldn't help but smile whenever she made eye contact with Byeon, and in her concentration, she puckered her lips, forming a duck face. Byeon noticed and laughed, saying, "What's with your lips?" showcasing their chemistry.
Meanwhile, the MBC drama '21st Century Grand Duchess', starring IU and Byeon Woo-seok, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM. It achieved the top spot in pre-release buzz, and its recent sixth episode recorded its highest viewership rating of 11.2%.
