Don’t you just hate it when you’re short a few million dollars to produce a drama with your dream team of actors, writers, and directors? *pouts* Well, we found a way to scratch that itch!
In the Dramabeans community series Cast Away, Beanies can advocate for their chosen actors and creatives in imaginary roles.
How it works: We share a [very] hypothetical K-drama plot with you, and in the comments, you discuss who you think is the perfect cast to play the roles in this imaginary show.
This week’s K-drama plot: body possession, wacky revenge, and romance
A conwoman posing as a shaman is possessed by the spirit of an upstanding assemblyman. Unable to leave her body, the two decide to cooperate in taking down crooks to help his soul move on.
Their only ally is his political aide who shares the same goal, but he keeps clashing with the conwoman on the legal versus effective ways to achieve justice.
As their clean-up plan progresses, the aide starts getting confused between his feelings of respect for his old mentor and a strange admiration for his new, crazy partner in justice.
I got this idea from watching The Whirlwind and One the Woman at the same time, so y’all know who my vote for the conwoman is. But are there other actresses you want to see in the dual role of Respectable Old Man and Cunning Force of Chaos?
What about the aide who will start out hating the collaboration and end up having starry eyes for the conwoman? His deceased mentor will have some scenes too, so it’d be nice to see the two actors have an almost father-son dynamic.
Feel free to switch genders around or remove the romance if you think it’s unnecessary.
If you have a plotline idea for future Cast Away posts, leave it in the comments. We’ll do our best to serve a fun twist on it.
