IU started her first filming for 'You're the Best Lee Soon Shin'.

The drama will begin airing on March 9th through KBS2TV and the filming is now underway. IU had acted previously as Kim Pil Sook in 'Dream High', but this is her first time handling a lead role. As IU is the lead role for the drama, she has been gaining much of the spotlight.

She plays the role of Lee Soon Shin and the drama will feature her love story after the death of her father. Even though her character is faced with burden and bad luck, she keeps on with an optimistic outlook on life. Since IU has a naturally innocent and bright image, she applied her own charms and energy onto the character.

A staff member from the drama stated, "IU displayed that she had matured as an actress when she naturally worked with the sunbae actors at the script reading. On the filming set, she works even harder on her acting so she really shines."

Are you looking forward to her drama?
