Hot from the teen music drama Monsta r comes Kang Ha Neul, who plays the rich and reserved Sun Woo in that show, as well as idol group ZE:Amember Park Hyung Sik, who was last seen in the twisty cable drama Nine: Nine Time Travels.
This week there are a few more casting news to report, which further confirms this drama can’t be an elaborate joke I might wake up from. Choi Jin Hyuk signed on to play Lee Min Ho’s older brother, wisely leaving those high school shenanigans for others to carry, and Kim Woo Bin and Krystal of girl group f(x) are onboard as well.
With Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye onboard, the supporting cast is getting tons of attention since Jung Yong Hwa was offered the second male lead role and turned it down, and because this drama is set in an exclusive richest of the rich kids high school so the sprawling cast of high school rich kids is going to be rather important. The collective “Huh” has been huge with this drama. It’s like Stephen King suddenly announcing he was creating a new MTV drama modeled after Glee. At some point someone is going to jump out and yell “Sucker!!!” for all those months spent discussing, debating, and dissecting a drama that reads like a cross between Gossip Girl and Boys Before Flowers starring two leads wayyyyyyy past high school in real age and cinematic experience and written by a screenwriter that has nearly ten hit K-dramas under her belt involving main leads age 30 and older (and in the case of her last drama A Gentleman’s Dignity, a whole lot older than 30 to say the least). Sometimes I wonder if the upcoming high-profile drama Those Who Wear the Crown, Withstand the Weight: The Heirs (aka Heirs) is an elaborate joke.
