"IU confirmed to star in 'Pretty Man' as a 4D girl who has a crush on Jang Geun Suk"


IU has now been confirmed for her next production,'Pretty Man', meaning she'll be starring alongside the already confirmed Jang Geun Suk in the new KBS 2TV drama.

As mentioned before, IU will be taking on the role of Kim Bo Tong. Like her name which means 'ordinary' or 'average' in Korean, the character is an ordinary girl but has a lovable charm. She also crushes on the 'pretty man', Dok Go Ma Te (Jang Geun Suk), whom she fell in love with at first sight during middle school. Everything she does is for him, and she'll do all that she can to protect her love for him with her 4D ways. Reportedly, she'll find herself in a love triangle with him as well as Lee Jang Woo's character Choi David.

'Pretty Man' is a story about a man with a pretty face who manages to capture the hearts of females easily, and through them, he gains not only riches and power, but also later learns what's truly important in life.

The drama is set to premiere following 'Secrets' so you'll be seeing IU back on the small screen again soon!

Is that the official poster or just a fan made?
I like IU, I think she would do well in this drama and the bubbly and innocent girl fits
her image.
Now I just hope they won't over accessorized JKS. Sigh I was wishing
that JKS would take on a serious role again, playing Dok GO Ma Te is a spitting image of him already.
So acting would be a breeze for him.
It would be more challenging if he portrayed an ugly man that makes over later, I think that's more interesting.
Either way he always come out a "pretty man"
