‘Doona!’ Star Suzy Discusses Her Character’s Rebellious Behavior

Bae Suzy certainly understands the character she played in the hit Netflix series “Doona!”, and she defended the character’s rebellious behavior. According to Suzy, it is all tied to Doo Na’s true feelings!

In the Netflix hit series “Doona!”, Suzy portrayed a character that defied conventional expectations, giving viewers a fresh perspective on her acting abilities. Her character, Lee Doo Na, was emotionally unstable and yearned for love and attention from others. Despite her struggles, she found the burden of life as an idol too overwhelming to bear.

Through her portrayal of Lee Doo Na, Suzy unveiled many new and unfamiliar facets of her talent to the public.
