Ha Yeon Seo and EXO’s Suho Offered Leading Roles in K-drama Remake of Rich Man, Poor Woman

• Looking at the cast, I'm guessing this is a web drama.

• I can't believe they went for an idol, shun oguri's role here is my favorite of all his dramas. They clearly needed a much older and mature actor with lot of caliber for this role. It's just pathetic and not acceptable.

• Not what I expected in term of casting.

• Based on the feedback that I've seen on Korean J-drama remakes, I imagine some/most of these J-dramas would be better off exported a la K-drama, but we know that won't be happening anytime soon in Korea, despite how eager Korea is to market their own dramas to other countries like Japan.

• It's so a bad idea ! First Korea is not really good for remake. They always add useless drama and don't understand what was the meaning of the original drama or its essence.

  I have nothing against Suho, I never see him acting but for a first lead role he's taking a big risk. He will necessarly be compared to Oguri Shun who is a great actor with a lot of presence on screen.

  • Thank you

    • Hum... You're welcome ?

• Sounds like a cliché, bad casting and lacks originality. Too many remakes that end up being bad

• I think its either a web drama or a daily drama.Looks like SM intends to get all the EXO boys into acting.We have D.O(who is credible and primarily in movies), Kai(he was or is doing a daily drama), Baekhyun and this guy.I dont know about the others..but the only idol from their group who I can see making a long term career in acting is D.O.But you never know..

• visually, he looks too soft for the role and ive seen his acting, its.......ok considering he acted in a webdrama it wasnt terrible but it wasnt that great either. this casting just screams MESS to me

• this has been the trend... when boys groups get older, agency will try to bank more by selling them to do dramas/movies. Those with acting talents will stay on to become actors after the mandatory MS... those cannot act may go to Variety Shows or may just fizzle out... Same for girls groups... It is a cruel world :-(

• You can’t be an idol forever and he isn’t exactly young so he should move on to the next step, which is acting. Since K-remakes are always panned, they might as well make it with the lowest expectations. Better be controversial and create buzz then mediocre and forgettable. At least the many EXO fans will watch this.
