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.

i've never seen choi kanghee in anything but lol what is this casting, for this kind of premise it is a terrrrrible idea. chansung is a hot piece of ass though. he had like a two-sec cameo in dream high.

Seriously, that is insane casting for that premise. I mean, if the drama was some sort of artsy study of older woman- younger man relationships and their stigma or a zany romcom about a secretary schooling two immature spoiled chaebol heirs (sort of like Protect the Boss) with much younger men, or even a sageuk where any age difference either direction would not surprise me, I might still not care for it but it would at least make sense and not elicit an utter wtf!
