What SNSD's Yoona and Ahn Bo-hyun said about their characters at the premiere of Pretty Crazy?

Pretty Crazy follows the story of Jung Seon-ji (Yoona), a passionate pastry student. She unknowingly lives with a nightly condition that changes her personality after dark. By day, Seon-ji is employed as a pastry trainee at a local culinary academy.

She remains calm and attentive in her duties. Yet, after sunset, she experiences a shift in behavior, turning spontaneous and unstable. Significantly, Seon-ji holds no memory of her conduct the next day. The actress Yoona also decribed her character, Seon-ji as most "energetic" yet.

"I tried to vary my tone and visual style. I wanted to portray an exaggerated and highly energetic character. This character allowed me to be bold and fearless, so I did everything I wanted to do during filming," Yoona said during Pretty Crazy's premiere, as reported by The Korea Times.

Gil-goo (Ahn Bo-hyun), a neighbor residing in the same building as Seon-ji, is currently unemployed. His first encounter with Seon-ji's nocturnal alter ego occurs during an unexpected incident on the street. Following this, Seon-ji's family enlists him to monitor her behavior during the night.

Over time, Gil-goo becomes increasingly determined to uncover the mystery behind her curse and her erratic actions. Over his rendition, Ahn said:

"When I first saw the character, I knew I had to put in a lot of effort, but it wasn't easy to pull off. I've played many masculine characters, but this one was someone you just wanted to protect."
