I hated the Jdrama for Zettai Kareshi too, although I suspect part of the reason was because I loved the manga so much that I had set my expectations too high, and I'd seen the male lead in some other dramas, playing bit parts, and I didn't think he's suck quite as much as he did. That said, I'm still gonna try an ep or two of his new drama - Hammer!
but if I remember correctly, the korean actress in Silence was the actress had just come out of her role playing second lead in Dae Jang Geum, and she was experiencing a HUGE wave of popularity in Korea because of it (like GHS). But pls... Rainie Yang is my secret love. I adored the TWD version of Akuma no Sourou, and I'm sure at least 60% was because of her, she was so cute!
However, my first thought when I'd heard of this casting was that Wu Zun's manager had gotten him the PERFECT role! no acting required! Simple, earnest and good-looking.
But I HAVE to challenge the comment that the TWD couldn't be worse. Please consider the travesty that was Wu Zun's Hanakimi.... errgh. Hanakimi is MY favourite manga. And my favourite male Chinese singer in the whole wide world had a cameo role in it. Jiro Wang was perfectly cast and delivered. but they still contrived to make a drama that I .... have no words for.
