So this is a big casting news so rather frustrating to have zero anything substantive about it. K-ent is reporting that Cha Eun Woo and Go Min Si have been offered the leads in the next Hong Sisters K-drama, with some saying Go Min Si is confirmed while Cha Eun Woo is still considering. There is no information about the drama itself, what genre or general set up, and with the Hong Sisters who have such a diverse oeuvre of works spanning this drama could be about anything and set anywhere. The Hong Sisters are currently having their next drama filmed already with Can This Love be Translated starring Kim Sun Ho and Go Yoon Jung which is slated to air sometime in 2025 so this new drama being discussed may be a 2026 arrival.
So this drama was announced last year with big excitement since it was the pairing…
It's not been a good start to 2025 for K-dramas, with the first big release…
The C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng isn't just an oddball in terms of the tone…
So the early airing rumors last month said Legend of the Female General would be…
Man, I don't even know how to accurate capture the totally WTF-ery that was episode…
There is a new C-drama being prepped and casting is out and sure to generate…

Cha Eunwoo is truly the IT Boy of South Korea and the only relevant 20s actor at present. Love seeing him stay booked and busy with endorsements and acting projects nonstop. His idol image is almost non existent not that he has a strong actor image either. He’s the closest to a Hallyu Star for this generation. Glad to see Go Minsi finally land a major lead role with popular writers. I’m curious what the plot and characters are. Visually they are an interesting pairing and could work well together.
SoKor running out of lead actors?
Huh?
Ok, I'm gonna to take the bait.
There are countless dramas every year with different male leads. CEW does one drama per year. It's time for you to cancel internet because not useful for you at all.
Just because I don't support your idol doesn't mean internet isn't useful to me.
There are still some stuff to watch like anime, Korean variety, Japanese and Chinese drama. You replied as if I attacked your idol so much.
Yogo
He is not my idol. I just baffled by your OP and reply. In your OP you asked if SK is running out of male lead actors as if it's a real doubt when reality shows it's not a real worry at all. The most popular actors release 1 or 2 dramas per year. You're ignoring the dramas with not popular male actors just because you're focused only on the popular actors. SK does release dramas without popular actors as male leads every year.
Lol
Actually, I've ignored Kdramas altogether recently. There were posts before that senior actors do not get much scripts now. And they are those from the glory days of Hallyu. I don't even know where you're getting that line that I'm ignoring dramas with less famous actors. Haha! Even Kim Nam Gil, a Daesang winner cannot lure me back. After going to South Korea twice, kdrama magic has already left my body. But I'm still following K-ent news coz...well I've got internet might as well use it.
I'm really excited to watch Can This Love Be Translated! No fantasy, no weird rules, no bad reason to kill your FL! And there will be Sota Fukishi! I love this trend of Japanese actors in Korean dramas!
For this one, without knowing the story, it's kinda to judge the casting. I like Go Min-si and Cha Eun-woo wasn't so bad in Wonderful World but still very green.
It girl and It boy!! ... and mostly it writers! I'm in.
Cha Eun Woo is definitely an It Boy but I wouldn't say that Go Min Si is an It Girl. She doesn't really have any impact when it comes to fashion and stuff that girls and women usually copy from the actual It Girls like Wonyoung, Jennie, Han So Hee, etc. It Girls are also household names and are known even by those who don't follow K-entertainment. Go Min Si is more of an actress than a star, if that makes sense. That's not a bad thing, just means she's more known for her acting skills than being a mega-popular star who's famous for style/image/fashion/etc.
Cha Eun Woo is not great in romance dramas..but he is really a very attractive artiste... As I like Hong sisters thru hit and miss for me. I will look forward to watching it...
I find the Hong Sisters' dramas to be a mixed bag, but I'm always looking forward to them! Bring it on!
So Go Min-si is going from Lee Do-hyun to... this?
probably not her fault. She doesn't have enough power to command producers to pick co-actors of her choice. Plus with kdramas getting lesser and lesser, she really can't be too picky on her projects cause there would be plenty of artist out there to get this drama if she doesn't.
Though this could very well be a good project for her. CEW being IT boy would make this drama garner more buzz. And maybe that would help in giving her more general audience presence. Plus CEW not only is so pretty but is also known to be super kind, hardworking and gentlemanly, so there is that good working environment.
I don't get the charm of CEW, neither his visuals nor acting. But Hong Sisters wrote some of my favorite dramas. So I'll check.
