I’ve used this phrase “Stop trying to make Fetch happen” before with a few actors and actresses who I feel keeps getting cast in lead roles despite being unable to deliver a good performance and/or ratings. K-actress Shin Hyun Bin has been in hit dramas like Hospital Playlist and Reborn Rich but she is not the reason for the success and in fact RR succeed despite her being an actual void there. She was like negative energy opposite other stars shooting off fireworks from their entire beings in acting prowess. And yet here she is cast again as the female lead in a rom-com of all things, and opposite really promising and charismatic young rising actor Moon Sang Min to boot. The poor boy, this is his second leading drama but also back-to-back noona-dongsaeng romance, the first was Wedding Impossible with Jeon Jong Seo. That one had a 5 year age gap, here he is 14 years younger than Shin Hyun Bin in real life. Their characters in the drama based on the same name webtoon is also noona-dongsaeng but not that big of an age gap. I don’t care about that as much as she has never been able to convincingly essay romantic tension and chemistry for me onscreen, and if I have to watch her to be able to watch another drama with Moon Sang Min then so be it. Please I hope she proves me wrong.
