I’m still sad that rising young actor Ahn Hyo Seob, who is currently nailing it in SBS drama Thirty But Seventeen, turned down the male lead role in upcoming teen romance Love Alarm. The pairing of him with Love Alarm confirmed leading lady Kim So Hyun seemed like a match made in drama casting heaven and now the male leads confirmed for Love Alarm are both unknowns to me so I can’t get excited (yet) that they are a good fit. Love Alarm’s leading men will be Jung Ga Ram and Song Kang and I legit never heard of them before but that’s on me. Male lead Jung Ga Ram has made one-off appearances in drama Heirs, Heard it Through the Grapevine, and High Kick 3 as well as winning the Blue Dragon New Actor award for the movie 4th Place and second male lead Song Kang had small rolls in The Liar and His Lover and Man Who Sets the Table. Love Alarm is adapted from webtoon and will be directed by the PD of Fight My Way airing in early 2019.

It's nice to see more young actors taking on lead roles so we have more age appropriate pairings.
So true! There needs to be a new breed of actors in the early 20s which is heavily absent! Dramas like this are the perfect opportunity for them to shine alongside a heavyweight established actress. I'm also glad that they are finally giving her proper age actors!
Exactly more rookie actors need to come in especially for the very young but super popular stars like sohyun. This is totally a well casted drama a total step up from the previous lead. Myabe they can go seasonal with this like they have for Kingdom.
Fresh faces! Bring it on!
Yes finally!
Thrilled by this casting!
Just an FYI since this is not a complete article. The drama will air exclusively on Netflix with 8 episodes. The male leads are from actor only agencies SOOP & Namoo respectively. Kim So Hyun has also confirmed to be the femlae lead for Miss Granny drama remake which will be her main acting project next year. In other words I'm hyped for her comebacks. They finally gave her proper female centric dramas which she can hard carry all by herself with her skill set.
@Jasmin, if that's the case I guess I can come to terms with Ahn Hyo Seop turning down the role. I guess miss granny is the main drama she's looking forward to?
She confirmed another drama? This is great news. I loved that movie so much I'll be excited for this one too.
@Jasmin Is it true its only 8 episodes? That's a good number so I guess it means they'll keep it packed with actual story minus fillers. Good thing I have a Netflix connection if its airing only exclusively.
Yeah it's confirmed to be just 8 episodes but is airing both on Netflix and tnv
This is great for her to have female centric dramas at only 19 shes an inspiration for many other actors these boys must be honored to get their lead roles with her
will it be again page turner with perfect cast, acting but only 3 epi
Isn't the 2nd guy the bff from liar lover? Omg he is so cute! I'm for this!
According to hearsays the second lead gets the girl in this webtoon. Is this true? Asking those who have read the webtoon. :)
Is this true? That's already such a cute premise. Justice for all second leads.
It's hard to say bc the drama will only have 8 eps, it depends on how the story will flow. The webtoon is yet to be completed too.

The story is on a hiatus but yes, she ends up with the 2nd male lead.
Any age appropriate pairing is good news these days! The all look cute together which is all that matters for a sweet romcom!
THIS.LOOKS.ADORABLE. >.<
KSH in ANYTHING is a must watch! She's uber talented with a great personality and looks to boot! This plot sounds generic but cute in an appropriate way for a transitioning former child actress. Good going KSH!
It's good that the drama will only have 8 eps, high chances they wouldn't take the story onto the more infuriating parts. The webtoon was good but the story kinda got annoying as it went on. Hope this will be full of the fluffy goodness from the first half of the webtoon!!
This so amazing casting news to wake up to. Pumped.
For a moment there, I thought that Song Kang is Yook Sung Jae. They look kind of similar, don't they?
Anyway, I'm all for age appropriate pairings. I'm looking forward to this and crossing my fingers that the two male leads will be able to deliver.
He's actually known for being a Sungjae replica he's cute too
