Mars was just wonderful. They translated it to screen perfectly. Peach Girl . . . I watched twenty minutes of episode one and had to turn it off. It was God awful. That and Marmalade(sp?) Boy have got to be the worst adaptations.
Jo In Sung was born to play Domyouji. He can get violent and be scary-angry. But, he can also bring the woobie angst and adorkableness that is Domyouji. However, all your reasons are correct: 26/27 (in western years), army-bound, and most likely not interested. It would have been great if they had done it four or five years ago!
Hyun Bin would be a great Rui. And, I never thought about it but. . . Han Ji Min would be the perfect Makino. Perfect. But, aren't they both 25 or so? There's something oddly creepy about a 25 year old playing a 16/17 year old.
YEH is, what 23? Maybe a bit old for the part of Makino. To me she doesn't look sixteen. And really, Makino is more of a 'break out' role for someone.
Unknowns or kids that have had small roles is best, I think. That's if they set it in high school. 'Cause, college was pushing it. And, if it took place in a workplace - in the real world, Makino would be sueing their butts by the end of episode one.
