The series will include a total of 4 short films directed by 4 different directors, all featuring IU as the lead role. Each film will deal with different subjects and concepts, and later be released as a 4-part series.
Bae Doo Na has reportedly been cast as a co-star in one of these films. The title or release date of the film is yet to be confirmed but sources say that the plot will be related to tennis. The actresses will not, however, be appearing as tennis players.
