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!
Introducing the new Dramabeans community series Cast Away — where Beanies can advocate for their chosen actors and creatives in imaginary roles.
How it works: Each week, we’ll share a hypothetical K-drama plot with you. In the comments, 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 PD who’s too genius for his own good
An evil genius producer (think Na PD) falls for one of the contestants of a reality show he’s working on. To hide his feelings, he over-corrects and makes his crush’s life more difficult. As the ratings rise, so does her hatred for him and his stupid challenges, further tanking their chances of a happy-ever-after behind the cameras.
First off, what kind of reality show are we talking about? Is it more of a Squid Game or Single’s Inferno type of situation? Who should play the PD who can’t manage to turn off the “evil” part of his evil genius? Who’s the crush who vows to survive the show and exact revenge on the PD? Feel free to reverse the roles too! Any ideas for what kind of TV torture this PD comes up with?
Feel free to request a plot line for future Cast Away posts. We’ll do our best (beep-boop!) to serve a fun twist on it.
