Suzy's upcoming drama Anna wraps up shooting, releases first look

Popular actor Bae Suzy has finally finished filming for her eagerly awaited drama, Anna. The Coupang Play drama will see the star take on a new, never seen before avatar.

The drama, originally titled The Second Anna, is the latest venture of A Single Rider's director Lee Joo-young. The eight-part mini-series was initially supposed to be a feature film but was soon expanded into a drama given the plot's potential.

The show follows the life of a woman, Yoo Mi, whose single lie creates a domino effect beyond her control, and she eventually ends up living someone else’s life. Suzy will play the role of Yoo Mi. Joining the Start Up star are Jung Eun-chae, Kim Jun-han, and Park Ye-young.

Anna wrapped up filming on March 23, after almost six months of shoots.
