Whenever this is a well assembled high school K-drama I’m always on the lookout for the future stars of acting to come from the rising teens and young adults. 2019 drama Extraordinary You had three male leads catch the eye of casting directors and the jury is still out on whether Ro Woon, Lee Jae Wook, or Kim Young Dae will be the bigger male lead star in the longer term future. The former two have had their male lead turns already though nothing super buzzy but Kim Young Dae has stayed firmly in the second male lead to supporting lead roles and it feels intentional like he’s still building up his resume and wanting to wait for the right project to step up rather than the first available project. He’s studied in China before and speaks relatively fluent Chinese so he does have a leg up with the C-fans, and this month he’s in the pages and cover of Pievision Magazine looking very cool and confident.
