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: rock (and love) is not dead
A popular rock band disbands after two of their members undergo a very messy break up. Twenty years later, their fanclub president — now an entertainment agency CEO — offers them a ridonkulous amount of money to do a reunion tour. The catch? The exes must pretend that they’ve gotten back together and convince the rest of the band to tour with them.
This story calls for some difficult decisions on your end. Namely, who would be the members of this middle-aged rock band, and who do you wish to see in ripped shirts and studded leather jackets? Who’s gonna play the super loyal fanclub president who’s now trying to get their favorite band (and couple) back together? Throw in some theories for the break up too. Is it a classic case of misunderstanding or a more principled argument over the benefits of wearing pleather?
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.
