IU talks interest for second season of 'Scarlet Heart: Goryeo' with Lee Joon-gi
To celebrate the birthday of actor Lee Joon-gi, a NaverNOW event called DREAM was held for the actor. In a surprise call during the event, IU talked about her friendship with her co-stars and how they all shared great memories during their time on set.
“I think all of us who filmed the drama probably feel the same way. We had such a great time filming it, and even now, there are so many people who love the drama. Isn't that amazing?”
Later on, they dished about the supposed alternate ending they filmed and how IU saw no reason not to reprise her role as Hae Soo in the hit Korean drama that first aired six years ago.
“I do feel sad that we couldn't show fans the scene where Wang So and Hae Soo meet, but your visuals were also amazing. In the modern day scene, where you have short hair and dressed in a suit. Your visuals in that scene where you handed me a handkerchief--it was really a shame that it didn't make it on TV. Your fans would have gone wild if that had aired.”
The cliffhanger ending to Scarlet Heart left many of its fans at the edge of their seats hoping for a second season. Although unrealistically impossible now, the two former stars of the drama are still interested whether or not it picks up.
