Everyone, pause what you’re doing! Did you know that THE Bae Suzy is back with a new K-drama this year? Yes, Suzy’s latest K-drama, “Doona,” with Yang Se Jong, released all its episodes last Friday. Consider this your sign to watch it right now!
In this drama, Suzy takes on the role of Lee Doona, a former K-pop idol, which is a perfect fit for her. Are you aware that Suzy first started as an idol in the K-pop girl group Miss A? Yes, she is the lead vocalist, visual, center, and face of the group. She then transitioned into acting by starring in the coming-of-age music drama “Dream High,” where she not only won the ‘Best New Actress’ award but also ‘Best Couple’ with Kim Soo Hyun!
Since then, Suzy has graced us with her presence in numerous hit dramas and films, showcasing her versatility as an actress. So, let’s dive into some of the best Bae Suzy shows that you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
Bae Suzy Shows You Shouldn’t Miss
“Dream High“
This is Bae Suzy’s debut in a K-drama! In “Dream High,” she portrayed Go Hye Mi, a student who aspired to become an opera singer but found herself forced to become a K-pop idol to pay off her father’s debt. The drama delves into the lives of six students, each with their unique talents and backgrounds, as they strive to overcome challenges, hone their skills, and find their place in the competitive world of entertainment.
This drama holds a special place in my heart for several reasons. Not only does it feature Suzy, but it also stars Taecyeon, IU, and Kim Soo Hyun. It seamlessly combines drama, music, and romance, providing an eye-opening look at the challenges and sacrifices young artists face as they chase their passions. It offers a glimpse into the world of K-pop, which we all love.
“Big“
Now, Suzy takes a challenging role when she plays the supporting character in Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung’s fantasy “Big“! In this drama, Suzy portrays Jang Ma Ri, who becomes entangled with a doctor and a student who swap bodies.
While Suzy is not the main character in this series, it’s a must-watch because it’s written by the talented Hong Sisters, known for their mastery of the fantasy genre. The concept of body-swapping may seem hilarious at first, but this drama beautifully explores what it’s like to live in someone else’s shoes, deal with new issues, and navigate relationships we haven’t experienced before. It’s a reminder that everyone has their own unique story.
“Kangchi, The Beginning“
This drama marks Suzy’s first-ever take into historical drama and demonstrates her prowess in diverse genres. In “Kangchi, The Beginning,” Suzy plays Dam Yeo Wool, a martial arts instructor skilled with a bow and arrow. Her character falls in love with Kang Chi, a young man born half-human and half-gumiho.
“Kangchi, The Beginning” shows us a good historical drama mixed with fantasy and action by showing captivating martial arts sequences! It not only immerses us in a unique historical backdrop but also delves into the power of love and sacrifice, highlighting the lengths people will go to for their loved ones.
“While You Were Sleeping“
“While You Were Sleeping” stands out as one of Suzy’s best dramas, featuring a unique and intriguing concept. The drama revolves around a woman with the extraordinary ability to see the future through her dreams and a prosecutor who crosses her path. Together, they strive to change the course of fate and prevent impending disasters. In this drama, Suzy portrays Nam Hong Jo, a woman with the ability to see the future in her dreams.
I still can’t move on with the Lee Jong Suk x Bae Suzy pairing that we got in this drama. It’s also amazing how this drama manages to make every episode exciting by featuring different stories of various characters while maintaining the focus on the three main characters. In addition to the main couple, this drama became iconic thanks to Jung Hae In’s character, who engages in a healthy love triangle with the leads, creating heartwarming interactions.
“Anna”
When Suzy made her return, she did it with a bang in the mystery/thriller “Anna.” This drama solidified Suzy’s status as a top idol actress. She received nominations at prestigious events like the Baeksang Arts Awards and APAN Star Awards and clinched the ‘Best Actress’ award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards, Director’s Cut Awards, and Seoul International Drama Awards.
In “Anna,” Suzy portrays the titular character Anna in a tale of a woman living a completely different life that begins with a small lie. Despite having only six episodes, this drama showcases Suzy’s range as an actress and demonstrates how a single lie can spiral into chaos. The twists and turns in every episode will keep you on the edge of your seat.
From action to fantasy, thriller to historical dramas, Suzy has conquered a lot of genres. Let’s all show our support for Suzy by watching her shows on KOCOWA+!
