South Korea’s beloved actress and singer, Bae Suzy, has once again enchanted the audience with her spellbinding performances in two distinct roles that hit the screens in 2022 and 2023. With Anna in 2022, Suzy delved into a dark, twisted tale — while Doona! in 2023 showcased a more nuanced, vulnerable side of her acting prowess. The stark contrast between these characters has ignited a spirited debate among Korean netizens who are at a crossroads, unable to decide which character they find the prettier.
In Anna, Suzy morphs into Lee Yoo Mi, who further transforms into a character named Anna due to a lie she told. The narrative of the series unfolds a psychological thriller where Suzy’s character, burdened by her unfulfilled aspirations and a life full of lies, ends up living as someone else named Anna. Her impeccable portrayal of a woman caught in a web of deceit while grappling with an identity crisis was nothing short of captivating.

On the flip side, Doona! unveils a contrasting narrative, where Suzy embodies Lee Doona, a retired K-Pop idol residing in a shared house near a university. Unlike the dark and intense atmosphere of Anna, this series serves a palette of emotions ranging from nostalgia to the cheerful friendship between housemates.

Suzy’s portrayal of a once-revered idol, now leading a life of obscurity, strikes a chord with the audience. The series artfully depicts the contrast between her glamorous past and her present modest existence, which is beautifully portrayed by Suzy. Her character’s simplistic beauty and unpretentious demeanor have won the hearts of many, making the character of Lee Doona a visual delight.
