[Cast Away] Girls Over Flowers: An Adventure in Paradise

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.

You can also go wild and introduce more characters, rename the show, pick your favorite director, etc. Who knows? Maybe our collective wishing will manifest fantasy casting into reality.

This week’s K-drama plot: a classic with a twist

You know how it goes: a destitute, kindhearted, spunky boy is admitted to an exclusive college for the rich. He ends up attracting the attention of the G4. Specifically the richest, meanest (and dumbest) of the bunch who happens to be their leader.

She shows affection like a monkey throwing golden bananas at its mate, which is why our hero falls instead for the quiet, elegant member who keeps saving him from the bullies.

Rounding out the G4 are the two flirty party queens who claim they’re there for fun, but give off a “they were roommates” kind of vibe.

 
Rich, mean heroines have been done in the past but we need someone who can look adorable while being clueless. Any ideas for who can pull it off?

Who should play the poor hero caught between G4’s sensitive soul and its leader? And who should play the perfect, aloof goddess who will be the hero’s first love?

Cast your votes too for the other G4 members who will have an epic womance for us to fixate on when the main love story hits evil mother-in-law territory.

Are there other characters from this type of shows that you want to see in this reverse-gender version?

Feel free to request a plotline for future Cast Away posts. We’ll do our best to serve a fun twist on it.
