Kim Se Jung and Bae Hyun Sung to Star in K-drama High School Queen Adapted from Popular Webtoon
So the genre of misbehaving high school students getting punished and their comeuppance is super popular right now thanks to Teach You a Lesson, and another one is coming but isn’t a bandwagon drama rather this was announced months ago as getting produced. The webtoon High School Queen (High School Queen Consort) is set to start filming a K-drama adaptation and the leads will be Kim Se Jung as the titular queen along with young actor Bae Sung Hyun. Her role is a top martial artists turned Joseon Queen and now her soul is the body of a modern high school student and uses her aura and skills to punish bad high school students. This role was first in discussions with Shin Ye Eun but that didn’t happen due to scheduling conflicts but I feel like Kim Se Jung is basically perfect for it so I’m thrilled with this final casting.
I’m in bcoz of KSJ. The drama must be fun.
30 year old kim se jung plays a high schooler? well, I am gonna skip this one
You are the main reason why actresses start losing work due to “aging”. Does she look 30? No. Is she good with action and direction? Yes. You are a bigot.
Then why not play the teacher instead of the student? Actresses or Actors aren’t losing work because of ageism but because they can’t stay to age appropriate roles. 22 year old Lee Jaein is also good at action and she is a veteran why not cast her instead. It’s a short coming if you need old people to add young.
yes, she looks 30, her real age.
Some young girls look the part but unfortunately they can’t act and are boring to watch. lol
