omonatheydidOK, I was a bit worried when I heard more idols were cast (who will act?), and then brightened up and got excited more when the final casting news came out with quite impressive actors lined up as supporting characters.
Minho as Kang Taejoon, a high jump gold medalist, who is discouraged after being injured
Sulli as Goo Jaehee who disguises herself as a male and transfers to Taejoon’s school to help him recover for a comeback
And people wondered who would play the second male lead and hoped an actor, not an idol, would be cast. Yesterday, Lee Hyunwoo came to my mind, and I thought to myself if he could be cast, it would be perfect. Yes, he was cast!!! Now I can believe SM is serious about making this drama not only to sell it to overseas idol fans, but also to lure muggles. Lee Hyunwoo is a rising star who is making a successful transition from a child star to an attractive and good adult actor. He was in the Master of Study and the Equator Man.
Lee Hyunwoo as Cha Eungyeol, soccer middle fielder, who is conceited and short-tempered
And a new face who is a rising musical actor (also appeared in some drama and movies) was cast as a sub-main. Kang Haneul as Joo Jicheol, a high jump player in the national team and Taejoon’s rival.
Seo Joonyoung (known for his impressive acting in Tree with Deep Roots) as Ha Seungli, dorm supervisor and fencing team chief — a macho type with strong leadership
Ki Taeyoung as Jang Minwoo, a mysterious eccentric school nurse who helps Jaehee
Kang Gyeongjoon as a comic and clumsy track-and-field team coach
Lee Young-eun, a teacher of Korean in a triangle relationship with the school nurse and the coach
Lee Hanee, school president with gentle charisma
Lee Hanwee, Taejoon’s father
Lee Ahyun, the dorm supervisor’s mom who knows Jaehee’s secret and helps her
Ahn Hyegyeong, a sports magazine reporter
Ko Soyoung, head director like Bae Yongjoon in Dream High; her casting made a headline because this is her first TV appearance since her marriage. She’s a top model and star who is now married to Jang Dong-gun, a top star in Korea.
Also, Kim Jiwon (CF model, High Kick 3) as a student in a neighbor school who likes Taejoon, Gwanghee of ZE:A as another dorm supervisor and theater team chief (?) who is adored by everyone as the owner of absolute beauty. L of Infinite may also be cast as one of Taejoon’s friends.
*The cast and character information haven’t been finalized yet, so there might be changes.
Total 16 episodes to be broadcast in August

Date: 2012-06-09 12:01 am (UTC)Now, most of SJ are too old to play teenagers and none of the younger SM boys have enough experience to carry a drama. That's why they need actors in the other roles to make up for Minho in the lead.
LBR though, we're definitely going to see the rest of them somewhere. SME always seems to manage to get cameos for their other artists in dramas that they have a cast member in (e.g. Sulli + SooHyoJess in Oh My Lady, Jess + Heechul in Taemin's sitcom, OnTae + BoA in Athena, Onew in Dr. Champ, Onew in OMGx2, Taemin in High Kick 3, TaeKey + Leeteuk + Taeyeon in Salamander Guru, etc). It's even more likely since it's SME's drama.

Date: 2012-06-09 12:11 am (UTC)I might watch this drama because of him though I'm afraid since he will be playing Nakatsu and we all know how everyone love Toma as Nakatsu. I hope he give the character a justice. But looking at his character description, it doesn't sound like Nakatsu like in the Japanese version. :O

no subject
Date: 2012-06-09 12:27 am (UTC)i've only seen him in equator man, where he was good in a good role. don't want to be too excited yet, if this wont be a good fit for him.
reread: jiwon! ok i'm curious about this girl, she has potential but i'd be more interested to see her in another musical drama.
no subject
Date: 2012-06-09 12:33 am (UTC)with the exception of minhobut the guy playing the nurse - Ki Taeyoung - isn't he Eugene's husband? or do they mean someone else?
also the production credits aren't that bad. the director is really hit or miss (more miss lately cause BOF and WYH were both disasters), but the music will be great and hopefully the story will stay sane - well as sane as hana kimi can be lol
