Infinite’s Woo Hyun and Sung Yeol will face each other as rivals.

KBS 2TV’s new drama High School (tentative) recently announced that Infinite’s Woohyun and Sung Yeol have been cast as the male leads.

With the fans’ attention gathering on the drama, High School revealed the summary as well as the description for each of the characters.

High School is a fantasy romance drama about an angel who ends up becoming a human by saving a male student in danger. Woo Hyun and Sung Yeol will each be acting as ‘Shin Woo Hyun’ and ‘Hwang Sung Yeol,’ who are friends at the same high school but become rivals who compete for love.

‘Shin Woo Hyun’ is a character who seems cold on the outside but has a warm and pure heart on the inside. He lives with his grandmother and runs a snack shop but he is popular due to his good looks and singing skills. He doesn’t believe in love after getting abandoned by his parents but he slowly realizes the meaning of love after he meets angel ‘Seul Bi.’

‘Hwang Sung Yeol,’ acted by Sung Yeol, is a perfectionist who is smart, athletic and talented. Unlike Woo Hyun, who follows his heart, Sung Yeol plans everything out and acts accordingly. He becomes rivals with Woo Hyun upon finding out that his stepmother is Woo Hyun’s biological mother.

The production team of High School stated, “High School is a young people’s drama that will be incorporating elements of fantasy. It will not only be depicting love and concerns of young people but will also deal with realistic problems in schools and families, which will bring out sympathy from the parents’ generation as well. Woo Hyun and Sung Yeol will be showing awesome acting by synchronizing with their characters.”

High School is a 20-episode long drama that is set to air at the end of May.

Is there a reason for keeping their names the same?
I have no opinion on Woohyuns acting but yaaaay for Yeol getting more acting roles, hopefully someday he can play a bad boy <3

It's rather common for them to retain actors names (sans original surnames) for korean sitcoms or lighter dramas. Idk if they do it for any particular reason, or for meta.

[xalter-egox.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to this for both of them! :D Kinda weird to be using their actual first names, but oh well.

[msweetie913.livejournal.com]

i'll watch it. i keep meaning to get more into infinite but i mostly just like looking at L and woohyun

[brokecouture.livejournal.com]

that's basically how i got duped into being a huge fan tbh lol

[msweetie913.livejournal.com]

rec me songs tbh! haha i've only seen a couple of their MVs

[brokecouture.livejournal.com]

omg this is a little late!!! but some of my personal favorites:

the chaser, inception, comeback again, hysterie, btd, paradise, wings, be mine, because, third part, without you, 60 secs (group version), inconvenient truth (the beat is just sooooo 80s it makes me shed happy tears but idk it's still a bit odd so consider it an honorable mention), i need you


honestly though their albums over the top, evolution and new challenge are as a whole the best

[gdgdbb.livejournal.com]

woohyun and L are like half the reason i pay attention to Infinite lol
i saw your comment above, for song recs I'd recommend their entire Paradise album (just listen through it, I think every song on it is solid) along with their Evolution EP.
& if you haven't seen all their MVs, my personal favorites are Man In Love and She's Back JV because they're really cute lol. But for their more intense songs, their dance versions are the best (The Chaser, Be Mine. The plot in those MVs is kind of nonexistent and I love the choreo more lol). Also, BTD has a regular version MV -- the dance version I think pops up more and has more views -- but the regular MV has L and Woohyun acting and looking attractive (can't say that the plot line or acting is the best but hey, they look good!).

;_; these 7 member boybands are killing me. thanks for the recs! i'll check out the MVs and the album in the next few days :)

Once you're down with their MV's (Lemme throw in Paradise as a must watch), move to their variety because they're super enjoyable. Sesame Player and Ranking King are both hilarious

I think Sungyeol's acting is decent and I love Woohyun's face so I'm here for this.

[sai12.livejournal.com]

well, I dunno about the show but I'm happy for them getting lead spots!

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

I'm annoyed that the writer couldn't be assed to come up with original names for them, and the plot sounds dumb as hell, but I'll take what I can get. At the very least I'm glad that Sungyeol is finally getting the chance to act in something major for once. ;__;

[pimpmysneaks.livejournal.com]

Already anticipating all those close ups of Sungyeol's ridiculously beautiful face.

Already anticipating all those close ups of Sungyeol's ridiculously beautiful face.

You and me both cuz I find him ridiculously attractive and probably the best looking member in Infinite #sorrynotsorry *O*

[boiinks2.livejournal.com]

So Woohyun is the lead and Sungyeol is the 2nd lead? Guess I better start preparing for those 2nd lead feels. It never ends well for them.

Jihyun is supposed to be in this too... I think. Her and Sungyeol in the same drama again. That's cute.

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

woohyun is so embarrasing but i dont care, i watched that first drama he was in even though it was dumb and he had like 4 mins screentime overall and im sure i'll end up watching this one just for his dumb face. ahhh things i do for my boyfriend.

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

I just want to see Sungyeol in another drama tbh

[milafanway.livejournal.com]

I'm already feeling embarrassed reading this fanfic plot, but my God Woohyun pls don't embarrass me. PLEASEEEE

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

I had a great laugh reading this cos at first I was imagining one of them being the angel saving the other one and it sounded hilarious in my head

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

[mollyana.livejournal.com]
