More Castings for Future’s Choice Including Han Chae Ah as the Second Female Lead

Omo, this drama is coming together slowly and nicely. With the three leads of Yoon Eun Hye, Lee Dong Gun, and Jung Yong Hwa all confirmed for the upcoming KBS time travel drama Future’s Choice (Mi Rae’s Choice), the race is on to fill out the rest of the cast. Even though the love triangle aspect is already being played up with the high profile casting of three well-known stars, this drama isn’t eschewing the tried and true K-drama formula of having a male and female pair of first and second leads. Rounding out the main four will be Han Chae Ah as the second female lead but nothing is released yet about her role and relationship to the other characters. Let me preface by saying that I really like Han Chae Ah, which segues perfect into the irony that I really hate all the dramas of hers that I’ve watched. From Style to Gaksital to Oohlala Spouses, to her most recent one All About My Romance, it’s like she always lands in dreck or dramas I’m allergic to. But every time I check it out, I always like her in it. She’s got screen presence, a nice solid delivery, and versatility. In all her dramas I’ve watched, I always like her more than the female lead. I doubt that will happen here, but I’m beyond pleased she’s joined this drama. Also onboard is a recent co-star of Yoon Eun Hye – Oh Jung Se who played Yoochun’s cop partner in Missing You. I really wished there would be no more reminders of Missing You but I do like Oh Jung Se very much as a great character actor with unlimited upside so he’s a welcome addition as well. And on the newbie front there is Lee Jung Hyuk (not to be confused with Lee Jong Hyuk from Cyrano Dating Agency or currently in the army Lee Joon Hyuk from City Hall and City Hunter) who was recently in I Hear Your Voice with Lee Jong Seok and Lee Bo Young. Keep the casting coming, KBS! Continue reading
