Caffeine Cupid: Brewing Love Potions in [Cast Away]

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.

First up: Caffeine cupid

In a world where coffee shops double as matchmaking hubs, a reluctant barista discovers he has the power to brew love potions into his coffee creations. Chaos ensues as he unintentionally plays matchmaker to the most mismatched customers, all while navigating his own complicated love life.

 
Who IS the perfect barista? Does he need his own sassy staff? Or a couple of ajumma regulars who openly judge his matchmaking choices? Maybe a high-profile cameo for the mismatched couple of the week?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments and feel free to request a plotline for future Cast Away posts. We’ll do our best (beep-boop!) to serve a fun twist on it.
