Staring Idols

Mostly Focused on Shows/Movies I've watched that an idol group stars in or where a member is an important role. 

In the reasons, you'll be able to see what group and what their role was (without major spoilers >.<).

Alphabetical order. I'll be listing ones where a whole group stars in first, and then the ones where a single member/soloist is an important role/where they may not be that main a character, but are visited by their members in the show.

(These are also the ones I noticed... I may not have known others while watching...) (Including those from disbanded groups as well)

    Cross Gene

    We meet the boys of Cross Gene (though Cross Gene doesn't exist in this) in a zombie apocalypse. They do their best to survive and have fun together. 

    Though this isn't a very scary at all zombie apocalypse movie, it is actually really good. Each member spoke their own native language, and I found that rather interesting and something very special to this movie. Especially, as everyone spoke and understood each other perfectly, there was no language barrier at all, even though they spoke different languages. I also enjoyed that, music played a big part in this aaaannnnd not saying more...

She finds herself getting help from our main male lead, who helps her push herself and get back at her ex for cheating and free herself from lingering feelings.

    Key of SHINee

    Key plays one of the people in the group of people trying to get justice. He is an expert hacker, and occasionally also goes into the field when it's needed. Hurting from something in his own past, he understands and talks to Bo Mi often and the two become close (and are honestly so adorable together <3)

    Yook Sung Jae of BTOB

    Sung Jae plays a rich chaebol heir, who is also a descendant of a child who gave his servitude to the goblin after his father died. While not an obviously important character to the whole of the story, there are really cute moments between him and the goblin and grim reaper.

    In Guk plays our main male character in this show. He is an analytical man who cares deeply for his brother.

    D.O. is rather scarily great in this role as the younger version of one of our psychopaths. Like, dang, the boy kinda scared me. >.<

    Im Yoon Ah of Girls' Generation

    Yoon Ah plays the main female character. She is kinda basically a damsel in distress, and is pretty dependent on the main male character... though that is not fully her fault I guess. Since she was young, her character was hidden away and not allowed to go out, though that never stopped her from trying to run away.

    Jung Jinyoung of B1A4

    Jinyoung plays a loveable character, who is our second, or maybe 3rd, male lead. He loves to paint women and gets in trouble for it from his father. Honestly I really liked this character, and before I say too much I'm leaving to the next reason...

    Im Yoon Ah of Girls' Generation

    Yoon Ah happens to be two characters in this drama. A young Kim Yoon Hee from the 1970's, and the daughter of the now older Yoon Hee, Jung Ha Na. Yoon Hee is rather reserved, and Ha Na is basically the opposite of her mother. Honestly the characters themselves don't feel like much (to my memory at least) to call home about... Yoon Ah did a good job of portraying the two differently so that one could easily tell the difference which was nice.

    IU
    &
    Byun Baek Hyun of EXO

    IU plays our main female lead who has somewhat time-traveled/taken over another's body who looks exactly like her from the past, and finds herself in Goryeo, surrounded by the princes.

    Baek Hyun is one such prince. In fact, he is the first to see her. His character is a really innocent one, who is rather childish, surrounded by plots of becoming the next king.

    &
    Lee Jae Jin of F.T.Island

    Jong Hyun plays our main male character in this incredibly goofy show. He is from Goryeo, and ends up with our crew from the present day.

    Jae Jin plays our second lead, but there is no competition from the two. Jae Jin is from the future and finds himself, with our main female lead, in Goryeo, and later falls in love with someone from that period himself.

    Hoya plays one of the people struggling to find a job, along with our main female and one other person. They end up in the hospital at the same time after having tried, whether purposefully or not, to kill themselves. However, none of them are able to pay for the hospital bill, and work together to sneak out. Having shared this experience, they become quick friends, and later coworkers who happen to be vying for the same position, however they wish each other luck still.

    Jung Eun Ji of APink
    &
    N of VIXX

    Eun Ji plays the main female character. She may not be very smart academically, but really likes to dance hiphop and is close to those she interacts with especially N's character, as well as tries to be their support and take care of those she cares about.

    N plays the best friend of our main female lead. They are extremely close. N's character has a paralyzing fear of touching people. However he doesn't let that stop him from playing basketball or wanting to be a cheerleader, though it does make it a lot harder for him, especially with those who don't understand him and tease him or hurt him because of it.

    Yong Hwan and Hong Ki play two members of idol group A.N.JELL (... I'm seeing a pattern with these names... ;) ) Yong Hwan is our 2nd male lead, he is caring to our main female character, and supports her so much... and honestly is the first time I had second lead syndrome... like please girl... oh well, this should be saved for another time. Hong Ki is our 3rd lead. His character is more gullible and is the last of the boys to realize that our main female lead is... well... a girl.
