Yeayyy for krystal !!!!!

Man I so hope this drama is good!

I am not familiar with Krystal, but I really like (LOVE!) every other cast member so far, so it would be wonderful if the actual drama itself was awesome too....

The highscool thing is such a massive turnoff though but I am going to keep an open mind if I can.

Thanks for the casting update Girlfriday!! :)

for some reason I just feel like this drama will disappoint. only because of the hype surrounding it.

If there's one idol out there who can play a character as mentioned above flawlessly, it would be Krystal for sure. Hands down. I'm not a big f(x) fan so I don't know her personality or attitude very well, what kind of a person she is like behinds the scenes etc. but she's got the natural image for it.

Sure, she's not the most talented idol actress out there but I doubt the sort of character she's going to play requires as much actual acting abilities than say, Park Shin Hye's character (which I'm sure PSH will own it damn hard, so much love for the girl).

Anyway, looking forward to this.

What's more, Kim Woo Bin and Choi Jin Hyuk as high schoolers? Count me in! No, I don't think I'll ever get sick of KWB in school uniform - ever.

OoOoOo, that'd be interesting & I will look forward to this drama!! Adadacabacada!! ^o^

Man...just when I was really warming up to the cast...I'm not a fan of idol-turned-actors, except for a very very select few. Sigh...here's hoping she holds up her end with the other actors.

This is the best news I've heard all week Krystal FIGHTING!!

NONE of them look like high schoolers. Why can't they make them college students instead? That would be much more believable.

Is this ever going to start filming?? I swear I been hearing talks about Heirs since January...

Don't know about Krystal as I haven't seen any of her shows....but Heirs is one of the dramas I'm eagerly waiting for :-)

So is she second lead or is second lead not decided yet? Also if it's like gossip girl I hope her character is like Blair (and not Jenny) lol

I have these Qns:
What percentage of the S Korean population belong in chaebol families?
What percentage of K dramas feature sb in chaebol families?
Do Koreans have a love-hate relationship w their chaebol families?
If not, why is it that drama heroines marry chaebol princes, but then chaebol families r always depicted as being made up of vampires?

Krystal is the only member of the cast who could actually pass for a high school student (and she just entered college).

I'm torn about this casting. First of all, I think Krystal is way less stiff/forced & vacant than many idol actors I've seen - she acquitted herself well in HK3 although her character was one-note - and I'm confident she can pull off haughty, but the character description sounds so trite that I'm not sure if she's going to be allowed to grow as an actress if her character is just a rich bitch K-drama cliche utilized to make us feel sorry for PSH instead of a character in her own right (in which case Krystal's acting skills will barely matter).

I'm not familiar with Kim Eun-sook's work, but I'm getting the notion from what I've read that she's not one for layered characterizations.

Honestly have no opinion on Krystal as an actress as I only know her in kpop and haven't watched any of her acting projects. But I do find it weird that every one they casted in this drama is mid to late 20s IRL and then they cast Krystal who is 18-19ish. Although she is definitely the only one who fits the high school image, I do wish they casted older just to match the rest of the catch because not only is Krystal young, she looks young, which will make it even less believable to see these 20 somethings play high schoolers next to her.

Also, will there ever be a kdrama without idol from here on out? I am starting to highly doubt it and that is sad....

Why do I feel like she's the only one that could pass for a high school student. I could see this casting working out alright, actually, Krystal can be cool and intimidating when she wants (which is often according to knetizens eyeroll). Mostly I'm just excited because she's another link between Jongseok and Woobin ahem.

One can only hope that one day someone will think to put characters that could pass as adults in a college setting.
Aside from heartstrings/love story in harvard, is there any other show out there where we had actors in a show that actually went to college instead of high school? I realized there's a surplus of highschool dramas and just not enough of college ones.

Looking at our cast, who can actually pull it off? Park shin hye, maybe. Krystal, definitely.
Lee min ho? no. You kinda outgrow that when you've played a badass city hunter bent on revenge or an ancient warrior from the goryeo era.
He must be feeling nostalgic from the boys before flowers days because as of now that's the project that comes to mind when reading the rather vague description of this project.

Another good reason to skip the drama. Never been a fan of LMH nor PSH. I guess this year is a cable year for me.

But she actually looks like a high schooler while everyone else looks like they've already been to uni.

Heard that Yonghwa's role will be given to CNBlue's Kang Minhyuk that's whyyyyy the media aren't getting rid of FNC YET. Hence the false news about Lee Jonghyun getting casted. YONGHWA apparently is being casted in a new drama with YEH but not yet confirmed..

i'll watch this drama for Woo Bin and writer Kim Eun Sook, loved all her works so far

Not familiar with Krystal, but I'm not so positive about her, either. I mean, if she's quite good in her previous projects, she would be quite famous by now. Not many idol-turn-to-actors truly qualify in their acting skill.
For me, it's a 99% drama to be skipped, but I'm keeping 1% for the writer.
So, I will check DB updates about this project.

I still don't understand why they couldn't just set this drama in college? Krystal is probably the only one out of that cast who can still believably pull off a high schooler. Plus, as much as I enjoy high school dramas, it's not like drama-land needs /another/ one. College kdramas seem to be much rarer and here you have a great cast who are the PERFECT age for a college-centric drama and yet you decide to give them a high school setting? It's kind of a waste.

Contrary to some comments, I think KES is the few rare writers who can actually paint a bitchy glamorous second lead as a whole person complete with their flaws and good streaks. Think the CF director character from Secret Garden or Jung-rok's awesome wife in AGD. Now let's hope Krystal is up for the game, she definitely has the aura down pat already. Throw in some epic love/hate storyline with a Chuck-esque hero and I'm going down with the ship!

She's always playing these haughty characters. Her real life personality actually fits these characters, but I find she's good when she isn't a total princess so I hope she's more than that in this drama and other projects she does in the future.

This casting is making me uncomfortable lmao
Especially at the fact that LMH, supposed king of all badassery in Kdrama land, is playing a high school student.
Um?
Let's not forget the fact that he doesn't look like the role. KWB, despite me loving his performance in School 2013, is always playing a high school student and I really wish he would stop, as I would love to see the boy play bigger and better roles in the future, not a high school student who is probably gonna be a "troubled" kid. PSH is pretty chill. I loved her in heartstrings (stopped watching flower boy next door), so I don't mind her. Plus, she can pass as a high school student. I remember CJK playing that one dude in ms panda and mr hedgehog (2/10 do not recommend), but I forgot how he did. Maybe he was good, I'm not sure. But Krystal? playing a bitchy character once again? Urgh. Wish I got something new. Idol actors/actresses are not my favorite at all. Remember Dani from School 2013? Girl got me throwing my chair at the computer, even tho her role wasn't even that big. Probably just going to watch for KWB & PSH.

i have to "wait-and-see" and try some few eps before i can say that "i-do-not-like-it"...

it's like gossip girl... where in BOF you see something like GOSSIP GIRL?

anyways... she sounds similar to serena XD!!!

and yes wait and see.. i was all hype up with sword and flower.... and the result was really bad XD

I found her extremely annoying on high kick tbh. I don't understand why people are saying she's decent when all she did on that show was act bratty and petulant. I don't know if I can sit through more of that (since it sounds like her character in this will be similar)

Why are kdramas so obsessed with high school?? Will there ever be some college based drama? C'mon now.

I thought it was the same girl from Love Rain. They look identical in the picture

i liked krystal in more charming by the day

this drama is aiming high..considering the all-star casts, from well named actress and actors to rookies and now to kpop idols..i really hope this will be good :))
