Suzy's drama 'Anna' is gaining renewed attention as it makes its television debut on MBC starting August 2026. Originally released as a Coupang Play original series in 2022, the drama garnered praise for Suzy's acting transformation and the performances of Jung Eun-chae, Kim Jun-han, and Park Ye-young. This special MBC broadcast allows viewers who do not use OTT platforms to experience the series.
'Anna' tells the story of Lee Yu-mi, an ordinary woman who, starting with a small lie, changes her name, past, and educational background to live a new life as 'Lee Anna'. The drama intricately portrays themes of desire, lies, human choices, and living as someone else. MBC is broadcasting the six-episode series over three weeks, with two consecutive episodes airing every Sunday from August 23 to September 6.
Bloggers commend Suzy's nuanced acting in 'Anna', noting how her expressions, tone, and posture differ between her roles as Yu-mi and Anna, moving beyond her image as merely a beautiful actress. The process of Yu-mi becoming accustomed to the life she created as Anna was particularly impactful, with her performance making it difficult for viewers to unconditionally dislike the character. Additionally, Jung Eun-chae's portrayal of Lee Hyun-joo is highlighted as a character opposite to Yu-mi, serving as a mirror to her.
