If I were casting Korean Hanadan...

dangermousieYou know that rumor I posted earlier about Korean version of Hana Yori Dango?
They are going to cast whoever they are going to cast, but what is the harm of a little fantasy casting?
So here is my ideal cast, behind the cut, with visual aides and reasons. They are all much too old btw, but hey, let’s pretend this is being made in 2002 or so :P
Makino Tsukushi: Han Ji Min (Capital Scandal, Yi San, Resurrection)
Why: She is short and as CS demonstrated, has prior experience at punching future OTP in the face ;) I have only seen her in CS but she came across as someone who could do bossy and spunky, brainy and yet clueless and someone who could be enormously endearing and a bit dogmatic.
Domyouji Tsukasa: Jo In Sung (Dirty Carnival, What Happened in Bali, Spring Day, Piano)
Why: JIS is actually the first person who jumped out at me when I read about kdrama Hanadan. And not just because his role in Bali was basically that of a more grown-up, more messed-up Domyouji. JIS is very good at playing both an arrogant rich person and someone craving for love and angsting straight into your heart, at the same time. He can play dangerous, and can play adorable, and can play a total dork. He can do crazy intense and yet has a wonderful sense of comedy. I’d definitely pick him. The fact that I find him crazy hot doesn’t hurt.
Hanazawa Rui: Hyun Bin (Snow Queen, My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Millionaire’s First Love)
Why: He is pretty enough to be Rui. Seriously though, after seeing him in SQ, he is someone who is very good at playing someone very quiet, and a little odd, and no matter what, with a basic elegance down to his finger-tips.
Nishikado Soujiro: Jae Hee (Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang, Witch Yoo Hee, 3-Iron)
Why: Because I want Jae Hee in any fantasy drama casting? Seriously though, he is very pretty, and can do the casual flirt thing very well, and can come across as both kind and inapproacheable. And is also fun. I’d pick Kang Ji Hwan, actually, but he is a bit older than the rest of them, so no.
Mimasaka Akira: Kim Jung Hoon (Goong, Witch Yoo Hee)
Why: for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
filmi_girl, plus he is awfully pretty. And maybe that way they can get a discount on opening/closing theme song ;)
Yuki: Sung Yuri (Hong Gil Dong, Snow Queen, One Fine Day)
Why: She has this fresh-faced, almost naïve spunkiness I indentify with the character.
Shizuka: Kim Tae Hee (Nine-Tailed Fox, Love Story in Harvard)
Why: Because seeing HB and her on screen together would be prettiness explosion. Only in my version, they’d end up together for good a la the anime. Oh, and she can do sophisticated very well.
