[NewsEn Reporter Bae Hyo-joo] IU and Park Bo-gum have been cast in writer Im Sang-choon's new drama, "You Have Done Well."

According to the production company Pan Entertainment on January 27, Lee Ji-eun (IU) and Park Bo-gum will star in writer Im Sang-choon's new work, "You Have Done Well" (written by Im Sang-choon, directed by Kim Won-seok, produced by Pan Entertainment and Baram Pictures).
"You Have Done Well," initially known by the working title "Life," is a drama that depicts the adventurous life of Ae-soon, a "rebellious girl" born in Jeju in the 1950s, and Gwan-sik, a "diligent iron-like man," across the four seasons.

As the Jeju dialect title suggests, which means "Well done," the drama is a story about the vibrant days of our mothers and fathers who always smiled despite the harsh backdrop of old photographs. It is a work like a dedication to their seasons—their youth and vulnerability—covering stories like a mother's first love, a father's heroic tales, a grandmother's rebellious days, and a grandfather's lover's era.

Lee Ji-eun plays the role of the rebellious Ae-soon. Although she had to be strong in many situations, she is a timid literary girl whose voice trembles like a goat whenever she rebels. She is a promising figure, like a wildflower that lifts its head toward the sun even in the shade of a dark wall that doesn't give a single ray of light. Even when she cannot attend school, she dreams of becoming a poet, and she is a confident character who does not hide her tears and laughs loudly enough to echo across the sea.

Park Bo-gum plays the role of Gwan-sik, a silent and solid "iron-like" person. Gwan-sik is a diligent and sincere person who knows how great a weapon extreme sincerity can be. However, he is clumsy in love, so he malfunctions when Ae-soon laughs and malfunctions when she cries. Still, he is a man of iron, a silent warrior who loves and respects only Ae-soon from the start without even tasting anything else. He acts as a guide, pulling the handbrake or sometimes stepping on the accelerator at the crossroads of Ae-soon's life.

"You Have Done Well" has emerged as a highly anticipated work due to the meeting of writer Im Sang-choon, who created a syndrome with dramas like "Becky's Back," "Fight for My Way," and "When the Camellia Blooms," and director Kim Won-seok, who is recognized for his delicate directing in "Misaeng," "Signal," and "My Mister." There is great anticipation that writer Im Sang-choon, who has provided warm comfort and cheerful support in every work, and director Kim Won-seok, who has showcased realistic and detailed directing, will present viewers with an unforgettable four seasons of life through "You Have Done Well."

Pan Entertainment stated, "We are very reassured to be working with top stars Lee Ji-eun and Park Bo-gum on 'You Have Done Well'," adding, "As writer Im Sang-choon, director Kim Won-seok, and the cast including Lee Ji-eun and Park Bo-gum are preparing to create a work that can move the hearts of viewers, we ask for your continued interest."
