If we go by what Men in the industry think (aka. frequently chosen as Ideal Type Woman, or has alot of male actors crush on them or costars crush on them):
Top 7 is:
1. Son Ye Jin 2. Song Hye Kyo 3. Park Bo Young 4. Bae Suzy 5. Im Yoona 6. Oh Yeon Seo 7. Park Min Young
The mystery action genre in kdramas is very hit or miss for me. So many trashy ones, mostly miss......Generally i think western tv series are better at action mystery genre.... But as I like borh leads I'll likely still watch a little of it at least....
After looking at still pics: Lee Si Woo is such a lame casting choice for the Youngest family member.
They should've cast someone like Lee Jae Wook! Has much more similar vibes to the original actor & the acting skill!
Looks like I will be enjoying more The Other 2 couples in this korean version, even though in the original the youngest are almost the Best Couple.....
Maybe Lee Jae Wook was too expensive or too busy, but still they've should've cast SOMEONE ELSE, not this Lee Si Woo guy! WRONG VIBES alltogether! Really wrong choice sigh.... The original guy has that Intense Vibe and very expressive eyes, this Siwoo guy is.... Too neutral and clumsy vibes...Don't see him pulling off the intense acting either, lacks in that intense and emotional vibes and lacking the charisma of the original actor...
True. She's my number 1 actress, even above Jun Ji Hyun, for me. But I couldn't bring myself to watch Dear Hyeri…
I liked Welcome to Samdalri, but Dear Hyeri got bad reviews and bad ML so skipped.
Her 2 other upcoming ones not really my style. Especially that office romcom with super boring sounding plot where they put Kim Jae Wook as 2ML instead of pairing with her π€¦ββοΈ
WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS FOR ROMANCE DRAMA: CHEMISTRY: 90% π₯
WHAT KDRAMA FANS FOCUS ON: Chemistry: 5% β Popularity: 40% β ("Only the most popular actors should be cast") Age: 30% β ("Too old. I wanted young actors") Personal preference: 25% β ("No i want MY favorite actors cast, not actually actors who'd work well together!")
RESULT: They focus on EVERYTHING except what matters! π
THE PROVEN PATTERN: CASE STUDY 1: SOMETHING IN THE RAIN Casting announcement: Fans: "Jung Hae In is too young for her!" π‘ "Son Ye Jin is too old!" π‘ "Need both to be younger actors!" π‘ After airing: "BEST CHEMISTRY EVER!" π "Age doesn't matter!" π "Perfect casting!" π
CASE STUDY 2: REPLY 1988 Casting announcement: Fans: "Who are these actors?" π‘ "Not popular enough!" π‘ "Give us A-list!" π‘ After airing: "BEST DRAMA EVER!" π "Chemistry is insane!" π "Who needs A-list?!" π
CASE STUDY 3: BUSINESS PROPOSAL Casting announcement: Fans: "Ahn Hyo Seop? Meh" π "Kim Se Jeong? Who?" π "Not excited" π After airing: "CHEMISTRY IS EVERYTHING!" π "Best couple!" π "Popularity doesn't matter!" π
THE PATTERN: Pre-airing: Focus on wrong things π‘ Post-airing: Realize chemistry matters π‘ Lesson learned: NONE β Next drama: Same stupid complaints π‘
Wait and see for drama to air before you judge it....
Top 7 is:
1. Son Ye Jin
2. Song Hye Kyo
3. Park Bo Young
4. Bae Suzy
5. Im Yoona
6. Oh Yeon Seo
7. Park Min Young
Congrats!
There's an UNDERRATED DRAMA STARRING FL HERE,
that people have GOT to STOP SLEEPING ON! π‘:
Mad For Each Other
https://mydramalist.com/79527-the-crazy-guy-in-the-district
Psychological/Healing Romance way deeper than standard romcom.
Just came to comment that in the poster the red haired FL looks so much like IU!
Those two could play sisters lol
CRAZY TASTELESS MDLISTERS!
Shin Min Ah Along with Song Hye Kyo and Oh Yeon Seo should be Top 3!
Park Bo Young and Han Hyo Joo only ones on top of this list who deserve to be that high lol
People here prefer more plastic beauty and average looks over Natural Stunning Beauty lol
But as I like borh leads I'll likely still watch a little of it at least....

EVERYONE ELSE is Well Cast.
they way he keeps NOT Working!!! π
PLEASE NEW ROLES!!
While actors like Ji Chang Wook has a million new projects, this one somehow still 0...
Looks like it made a return, like many trends usually do.
They already had chemistry back then thinking back...so they'll have here too since it's their reunion project! π
Why barely any MAIN FEMALE LEAD ROLES??
I need someone to give her a chance while she's still in her 30s please!
Now suddenly, most of her projects are bad???
Can only hope she accepts this one, and then after it back to good dramas again....
Do you think it's her agency doing it or favors to others made her pick them or she genuinly liked these projects?? π
Her 2 other upcoming ones not really my style. Especially that office romcom with super boring sounding plot where they put Kim Jae Wook as 2ML instead of pairing with her π€¦ββοΈ
Please accept!
Getting tired of having to skip her latest dramas...
The pairings can be seen in the latest x3 photos , in the photos section ;)
