OP, you misspelled Yeo Jin-goo! :-)

Is this an adaptation of the Japanese manga or an unrelated Korean webtoon?

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

Korean webtoon published on naver , a popular one to boot,it's a high school vampire webtoon

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

ty!

Vampire high school...oh no. Korean entertainment has a shaky track record with vampire-centered content (then again, so does the U.S.).

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

fixed it! thanks!

[marsinblue.livejournal.com]

I started reading the webtoon, seems interesting!
Hoping Lee Jonghyun gets confirmed as well. I've been longing to see him in another drama, regardless of the awkward lol.

Orange Marmalade is a lot better than I thought it'd be, considering it's about high school and vampires. I think Yeo Jin Goo will do a good job as the hero!

Are you reading it in English? Where can you do so? :O

Thanks! :D

I believe this is the official English site via Naver. So I would reckon reading it on here gives some kinda financial return to the artist, but I'm not sure.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

yay byun yo han!!!!!!

i hope orange marmalade doesn't suck for yeo jin goo's sake. he's such a good actor.

lol what?? tomorrow cantabile was a terrible adaptation. not the cast's fault, just a bad script/general production. it never should have been remade in the first place.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I thought the cast were the best part of it lol

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

ia!! i think shim eum kyung and joo won really tried their best but the show was just plain awful. joo won project choices have been so godawful recently. and shim eum kyung is honestly way too talented for dramas imo.

[piqapique.livejournal.com]

I hate how adaptation tends to turn to a 4 sided love story. Very cliché, very k-drama.

seconding the request for a BYH tag

[innertide.livejournal.com]

Yeo Jin Goo's a good choice imo, but too bad it's a KBS drama...tbh most webtoons would work better on cable

Re: seconding the request for a BYH tag

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

here for byun yo han's tag.

+1 for a BYH tag

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Too late, they already confirmed an idol as female lead of Orange Marmalade (why? I agree with the netizens, start hiri g actresses again pls)

Really happy to hear about Byun Yohan getting a lead role tho, I was getting legit tired of seeing people languish in second lead hell forever after delivering performances that prove they are more than competent for first lead status.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

YES! so happy for byun yo han getting a lead role. and it's good that it's on cable because we know that there is more diversity in these dramas....

do we have more info about it?

THANK YOU!

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

is seolhyun confirmed for orange marmalade? the lead character plays guitar and sings in the webtoon, and seolhyun and singing don't go well together lol

[mercury-sound.livejournal.com]

Lead role for Byun Yo-Han already? Yaaay! I don't know what to think about the concept of the drama yet but honestly, I can't wait to see him as a romantic lead.
Also yay for YJG! Hope the drama turns out well!

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

hope the script is good

1. [+6,809, -196] Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠI really like Yeo Jin Goo but... ㅠㅠㅠin the opinion of someone who has read the webtoon...it's so different from what I have in mind

pretty much this. I prayed day and night for the male lead to be someone who is visually similar to the one in the webtoon but sigh... I hope the other casts are on point especially Mari's brother. He is so cute! Are they going to make the poor boy eat rats tho? lol

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

mte. he's so visually different from Jung Jae Min. so it's a bit ehh even though i know he's a really good actor

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

HERE. FOR. IT. ALL.

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

I really like this webtoon, so I'm scared and happy about this news.

I wouldn't have picked him as playing Jaemin since they don't have the same sort of look plus his super deep voice.
But I'll give a go cause Yeo Jin Goo and it'll be nice for him to actually play a high schooler.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm happy to see him actually play his age for once. He's been squandering his teenage years playing guys in their twenties tbh, since, considering his looks, he only has a few years left to convincingly play high school roles, lol

He can play twenty-somethings for, like, the next 15 years, but now he should be going for those once-in-a-lifetime youth parts
