Another wtf move from KBS. So he's not confirmed yet? Ahn is likeable in his smaller previous roles, but has not shown enough to headline his own drama, let alone a substantial second lead. Not to be pessimistic but he won't be able to hang with the charismatic Ji Jin Hee. And no casting for females? I suppose that'll come when they finally lock in a hero.

Apparently Jaejoong was also considering this role. Makes me thankful now that he didn't accept it with so much flip flopping around.

His casting definitely makes me less excited. I think he was okay in both dramas, but his characters were pretty 1 dimensional and similar to eachother + not that challenging (i havent seen the movie). And I personally didnt think his acting was that good, not bad either, more so-so.

He's seriously not lead actor material at this point in time.

Wait.. Jung il woo was also rumored to be the lead? I only knew abt YYS considering the role...

Gosh.. I am so out-dated. Since both actors passed it on.. I am starting to weigh down the script. I was rooting for YYS. Though i felt, he didn't have the vibe to be acting as a vampire, the guy has acting chops to boot with.

Now.. Its ahn jae hyun. Out of all the model-turned-actors, i personally think him and hong jong hyun are bad in acting. He certainly gives the vampire vibe(Though there is the Doctor part though). But acting chops and charisma is totally lacking. Like i feel he is still not ready to be a male lead yet.

Seriously what's happening with KBS and MBC these days..

Blood is about a vampire doctor who represses his urges for blood and treats terminally ill patients in the hospital.

I don't know why.. I seriously LOL'ed after reading it. :D

i'm like wtf? even choi jin hyuk had so many supporting roles after landing a lead role in a cable drama, then again a second lead role in public broadcast and finally a lead role in public broadcast.. and then suddenly this guy lands a lead role? who, by the way hasn't proved anything other than his good looks and height, who doesn't have enough acting credits under his belt.. kbs is gambling with their dramas again even though they're suffering in ratings..

I thought Ahn Jae-hyun was the weakest link in YAAS - that had some very inspiring performances even if the drama wasn't all that. He was quite adorable in YFAS though.

But it's too early for him. He lacks the acting chops for a male lead unless they can get a huge actress to co star with him. I think that's unlikely. This drama sounds like a mess anyway. And vampires are so yesterday lol.

Ok except for the first few episodes and all the recaps I skipped both his dramas so I don't have an entirely independent opinion of his acting except yawn. Is it too late to just have Kwon Hyun-sang as the leading man and just have Ji Jin Hee as the main antagonist? If both YYS and JIW turned it down, I'm a bit too dubious to cast my bias so who has a better idea?

Song Jae Rim Was A Better Option, I Don't Like This Guy.

Kim Jae Wook would be awesome

I think he is a cute actor, but he is not ready for this type of role. Even in his previous dramas, he doesn't strike me as an actor who is even 'strong' enough. for a second leading role, not to talk of the main man.

Wait, wasn't LMH sort of a newbie when he got the BOF part? Who knows, maybe this guy got a screen test for the part and nailed it? :) I get the feeling we never really know the crazy shenanigans that happen on the casting of these dramas.

He looks the part but I'm not sure if he has the acting chops. I personally think kim jae wook would be perfect for this role he would make a very convincing vampire
and the boy deserves a leading role by now,oh and even though this is probably not gonna happen I would love it if moon chae won was offered the lead female role,preferably her role similar to her bad-ass character in nice guy,and kim jae wook to play a wounded and depressed vampire and they both fall in love and console each other. Gaah sorry I spend too much time on asianfanfics but yeah those two would be such an awesome pair. I know that moon chae won hasn't done any dramas this year so I would love it if these two happened to be paired together, though now that I think about it she has a movie with yoo yeon seok coming out next year so I don't know If she has time to do a drama right now.

All I can say is: we will have to wait and see. \'_'/

Nooo....I love him...but consider his 2 acting back, he still not suitable for lead ... Is a no no no

can we have jaejoong for vampire doctor..?

The only way this show will not be lame enough I could cry is if it refrains from starting out with AJH's character as being the super awesomest best doctor surgeon in the whole wide world and also a vampire. It's boring and overused, basically copies vampire prosecutor, and I think AJH is just to young to play that sort of part.
I think the plot has promise if maybe he's starting out as an intern or something and is struggling to make it as a doctor while struggling with... vampirism. Omo this would be so cute! But now I've psyched myself up for this adorkable version and they're probably going to go with the lame one and I'll be so disappointed.

What I want from this, using AJH, is Doctor Misaeng Vampire! It would be great!!

See? A pretty, rookie, model, actor gets a big role and people here might find it soon or strange and talk about he not having much experience...
But:

1) almost anyone talks bad about his looks
2) almost anyone says he slept around to get this role,
3) or got it because of his ''face''
4) they all talk how he was good in his old dramas (Really now? he was mediocre in YFAS, in YAAS he was also nothing to call home)
5) people don't straight hate he getting this role like the other actress they here like "OH NOOO, WHY?"

Like I say, it is all about eye candy lol

I see what you mean, wondering what's with the show that was turned down twice already, but I have no problem with AJH taking over.

There is something about his acting that is very mature, I don't know how to explain it, but I'm looking forward to seeing this.
I'm sure he'll do a great job :)

Since the drama is from the Good Doctor PD-screenwriter team, maybe they can cast Joo won. Although Joo won may not want to play a doctor again so soon, I would love to see what he does with a vampire role.

I think they are need 'Moon Chae Won' to make this drama ratings high up whoever the lead man is...

Ahn Jae Hyun is a HB Ent artiste.
You From Another Star is a HB Ent drama.
You're All Surrounded is also a HB Ent drama.
Ji Jin Hee is another HB Ent actor.
Dots connected.

are vampires making a comeback or did they never leave the scene yet

ahn-jae-hyun :D ... come on prove all these naysayers wrong!

I said no.

... who the ???

kim jae wook will be good choice for that role.

kbs really screwed up with this casting if AJH take this role. AJH is not ready for leading role, especially he doesn't have charisma and material as lead actor in this time. he need time to lear and time to build his own charisma for leading role, but not this time, not yet

I am here after a time, what happened to the like button?
