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: Secretly superpowered brothers
Two brothers are abducted by aliens while hiking. The younger brother awakens to find all his memories gone. Instead, he has developed the ability to turn invisible — but only when he hums the national anthem. He uses his powers to enlist in the NIS and help catch a mysterious new supervillain who can read minds (but only when he wears mismatched socks)…
Look, we all know Hyung is the villain because we like our dramas funny, angsty, and bromantic. Who’s your dream drama-bros pairing? *cough*Lee Jong-seok and Kim Kwon*cough* There’s also space here for a mismatched-socks-crocheting villain’s sidekick and a harried NIS director who’s tired of hearing the national anthem, so cast away!
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.
