'Dorihwaga' is based on the true story about a young woman, played by Suzy, who disguises herself as a man in order to learn pansori. Pansori is a traditional type of Korean musical storytelling, performed by a vocalist and drummer.
All of the main characters of the film, including Suzy and Ryu Seung Ryong were said to have practiced the pansori for a whole year before filming began, in preparation for their role. If that's not dedication, we don't know what is!
More specifically, Suzy learned pansori for a year under the well-known pansori singer Park Ye Ri.
And her teacher had nothing but compliments for Suzy as she shared, "Suzy has a voice that fits very well with pansori, and during our first practice, I was very surprised. Despite her busy daily life, she contacted me first in the early morning and late evening and practiced with a deep commitment. I believe she is a talented actress because in a short span of time, she had a surprising amount of improvement."
'Dorihwaga' premieres on November 25!
