"The Sound of a Flower" actress Bae Suzy spoke about her distress in learning the Pansori for almost a year and her honest thoughts about coming back with a new image. She didn't care about looking pretty but disguised herself as a man and even dirtied herself with soot.

Bae Suzy said, "At first my face looked really swollen. I didn't use a lot of make-up and my eyebrows were very light, but still it was obvious that I was wearing make-up. I also applied too much soot to my face so the zit I have in the movie is really mine. It didn't hide every well, although I didn't try too hard. I wanted to show everything in a realistical way".

"It was clear that I was just a beginner at Pansori. I thought about the times when I was in training to become a singer, which was when I fell to the ground and things didn't go the way I wanted it to. I felt that again this time while making the movie. I related to Chae-seon and wanting to become the best. I knew I could do it and I wanted to look like the best".

Producer Lee Jong-pil said Bae Suzy was 'tough'. He recalled a scene which got cut out completely but it involved her going in and out of the water several times. She claims she couldn't feel below her ankles. A stuntman did the jumping but she did everything else in the water. However, that scene won't be in the movie.

About Ryu Seung-ryong, Bae Suzy said, "Maybe it's because he was my teacher in the movie; regardless, I received a lot of energy from him in real life. I saved his number under Sin Jae-hyo on my phone. He was nice and considerate of me throughout the whole time. He was very reliable and I felt good when he told me I did a good job".

About the nickname 'the nation's first love' that followed her around since the movie "Architecture 101", Bae Suzy said, "I can't have everything I want and it's such a good attribute for me, but that's something I have to overcome as well. I can't stick to it forever. I have to do other things to create new images for myself".

Now more mature, Bae Suzy says, "I am still playful on the inside. I am a singer and an actress and I never thought about wanting one more than the other yet. If I get a chance to act then I'll act and if I need to be a part of Miss A then that's what I'll be. However, I don't want to lose either one. I want to take my time and do everything".
