The most perfect Kdrama cast of all time

Since I was very pleasantly surprised by how accurate the casting is, I decided this deserved a thread. Especially since I feel like people who haven't read the webtoon won't understand how great the cast is, or some important plot points that were much better explained in the webtoon. So here we go...

 

Im Soohyang as Kang Mirae

Short hair? Check. A tall, "glamorous" figure? Check. A mature look? Check. There's even a big resemblance for the face - pointy chin, small nose, straight eyebrows and quite pronounced under-eye bags and double eyelids. Drama-Mirae's clothing style is also quite similar to what Webtoon-Mirae wears. Only problem I have is she doesn't have the typical Gangnam face, which Mirae is supposed to have.

 

Cha Eunwoo as Do Kyungsuk

Not much to say about this casting since the webtoon author doesn't highlight the features of Kyungsuk as much as Sooah and Mirae. But again, a similar hairstyle and face structure. He also dresses very similarly, has quite a similar body type and is drop dead gorgeous. I believe most people would agree that he's very handsome, which is a very important trait for Kyungsuk. I'm a bit disappointed by his acting though. He kind of seems to only have one expression? Is it just me?

 

Jo Woo Ri as Hyun Sooah

I hear some people aren't too happy with this casting, but I think it's perfect. Jo Woo Ri has the innocent, pure look Sooah's supposed to have - small nose, round small face - and she does her role quite perfectly. She's also very small in frame like Sooah is. The clothing style is on point too. I might be the most satisfied with her casting out of everyone, honestly.

 

Kwak Dongyeon as Yeon Wooyoung

A character that is completely different from the webtoon in every way but physical appearance. I mean look at these comparison pictures and tell me Dongyeon isn't Wooyoung come to life. I mean, same face shape, nose, even eyebrows. I'm very satisfied with his casting. And I'm also very happy with the changes they made to his character in the Kdrama because boy was the webtoon Wooyoung annoying.

I'm also veeeeery satisfied by the casting of Woo-hyun as Mirae's father. He looks very similar to the webtoon dad, down to the slightly protruding cheekbones.

 

Mirae's other college friends and sunbaes are also very accurate: Yooeun (pretty but not in your face pretty, doesn't have double eyelids, with maekup would be gorgeous), Jungboon (cute with a round face), Taehee (very pretty but slightly chubby), Yoonbyul (boyish but still very pretty), Chanwoo (he just looks like such a jerkface), Wonho (love how they kept a similar hairstyle to the webtoon character)...

So yeah, all of this to say that I've never seen a TV show adapted from a book/comic etc... with such accurate casting. Like, NEVER.

 

Can you tell I'm obsessed with this drama?
