Awkward and unnatural? Scarlet Heart star IU takes criticism in her stride
Scarlet Heart is going head to head with another historical drama, Love In The Moonlight, in the same time slot in South Korea. It has been getting 6 to 7 per cent viewership, losing to Moonlight's 20 per cent.
In Singapore, it is the reverse - Scarlet Heart's ratings are more than three times those of Moonlight, according to Kantar Media Singapore, a media monitoring agency.
IU says she found it challenging to take on the beloved role played by Chinese actress Liu Shi Shi in the original version.
"I had many questions running through my head, like how similar should my character be, in comparison to the original show," she says, acknowledging that comparisons are inevitable.
"I told myself I'd need to go in with an open heart and mind."
So far, Scarlet Heart viewers have criticised her acting as awkward and unnatural. She takes it on the chin, saying: "I do think that feedback and criticism are important. They help me to grow professionally and as a person."
