IU surprised fans by revealing that she actually drank alcohol while filming When Life Gives You Tangerines.
On March 16, Netflix’s YouTube channel released a video featuring IU, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon. The trio watched highlights from Part 2 and shared behind-the-scenes stories.
While watching a scene where she has a conversation with Park Hae Joon at a Chinese restaurant, IU confessed, “At that time, I actually had a drink. If the redness had been done with makeup, it might have looked a bit too cute.”

Park Hae Joon then talked about his own struggles while filming that scene. “It was tough matching the continuity—picking up the squid, slurping the noodles."

He added, "I kept debating whether to eat or not, picking it up and putting it down”. His comment made everyone laugh.
IU also shared details about her narration for Geum Myeong. “I recorded for almost two months. Before filming, we discussed the voice tone—I tried not to make it feel like a completely different person but kept it natural so it would gradually connect to the senior actor’s voice."
She added, "Geum Myeong’s normal speaking voice is close to my natural lower tone, while the narration voice was done in the lowest tone I could produce to distinguish the age difference”.
Fans are loving IU’s dedication to her role, from real drinks to perfecting her narration!
