By now, I am watching the casting of Secret Agent War with all the avidness of a trainwreck-spotter

Apparently this is the secondary guy in Secret Agent War:



Name of Hwang Chan Sung. I know nothing of him other than he is (a) an idol (b) born in 1990.

He is supposed to woo Choi Kang Hee as Joo Won's rival.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let this sink in.

Choi Kang Hee, born in 1977, and looking every day (and more) her age, was never going to work for me as a love interest for Joo Won, born a decade later. But now she is going to be in a love triangle with someone who is barely out of high school and 13(!!!!!) years her junior?!

You know, CKH. Plain, older than her years, comedian CKH. Not a 30-something goddess like Kim Tae Hee or anything. In a love triangle with a 22-year old and 25-year-old. And playing a deadly sexy secret agent.

Ahahahahahahahahahahhahahaaaaaa the casting people must have been taking some amazing drugs.

Clearly, this drama was thought out with a much younger female lead in mind and somehow they got CKH and never adjusted.

Now I am almost tempted to tune in to see this. This is going to be glorious. Glorious.

Oh god, Chansung?! He was in Kaito Royale, where he was required to do nothing but look cool (he did that well enough), but acting chops? I desperately want to be proven wrong, but all I can imagine in my head is CKH being wooed by him and her just cracking up in his face. I mean, really?

I'm now hoping that Joo Won would drop out of this so that I won't feel obliged to give this a go. I don't have a problem with CKH herself (aside from her incredibly manly voice, which ruins whatever romantic images you can conjure up with her costars), but my head breaks whenever I try to think of her paired with Joo Won and it gets increasingly hilarious when you throw Chansung into the picture. Oh, what could have been...

I really hope this is all a huge practical joke but alas...
