So basically anyone, even women with no acting training or experience whatsoever can audition? Did they think koreans weren't complaining enough about this remake so they wanted to add fuel to the fire with this? I hope they choose someone with at least 2 semesters of acting college because this girl will not only have to keep with a Daesang award winner, but she'll have to promote this drama alone, so every flaw this drama might have, the public/press will criticize her for it since she'll be the only one available for it.

And when will they have time to film it if they're still casting? Joo Won is set to enter military in September...what a mess!

They're out of ideas, all is a remake

Hapless scholar? Drama remake of movie? Why does this remind me of Level 7? Shudder...

Sassy Girl sageuk? This genre has turned into a freaking trendy joke, it's quite sad. Respectable writers and directors of the genre are either retired like Jung Ha Yeon or passed away, (director Kim Jae Hyung etc) /cry.

My only question is why Joo Won would agree to this mess. He's built a solid acting record and generally picked good projects. So why? Wae? Por Que? He's not exactly in the youth age range anymore. On top of that, youth sageuk of Sassy Girl? On top of THAT, a gimmicky audition process for his co-star? Don't get it, but to each his own I guess.

701 here? ?!!

I just have one question. Is Joo-won really that big of a star that holding an audition for his co-star is found as degrading (for lack of a better word)?

Like I'm confused?.. What's so wrong with holding an open audition?. What's with d negative responses??

Cast an idol - uproar
Cast an established actress - there will be something to be said
Oya they are holding an open audition - still not satisfied.

yay for the audition!!
now people can show their version of the girl as they think and it may fit the best than anyone,

but I still don't understand why they had to remake the movie, what makes the movie special is bc it just that one movie is enough to tell about their story (I am not counting any sequel or other adaptation),

This is great and everything, except...

PARK BO-YOUNG. =D

I hope my bias Gong Seung Yeon will audition..

I think this is the best thing they can do to get a good actress onboard.

Which established actress in her right mind would want to reprise Jeon Ji Hyun's role? The only ones who will take the risk are those who have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Fingers crossed that they can find a raw diamond in that pile of 700 hopefuls and growing. At least, they didn't just take some wannabe idol actress who can't act.

I don't like My Sassy Girl, averse to most remakes but just curious how they can adapt the sassy girl character into period settings.

I really don't know how is this a mess for Joo Won....this is not the first remake he is starring in right? Since he is well aware of this risk and is a damn brilliant actor i would not doubt his sensibilities.

Also nothing can be worse than a sequel to my sassy girl....not even this remake. I actually found that turning it into a sageuk is an interesting idea. So i ll wait for the glimpses of the finished product to really judge.

Lastly, i think this audition is an open audition. Rising starlets can audition, so can newbies....it is like a golden opportunity for those trying to enter the industry without a backing. Saying that, it's not necessary they choose someone out of the auditioned crop. Who knows, an established actress can audition through networking via her company (cause i think everyone needs to pass screen tests for the character...don't know if that's how it works in korea...but elsewhere even established stars need to pass screen tests to check if they suit the character) But even then the audition is a good idea to get noticed and get roles in future....or who knows even a supporting character in the show.

LOL. Is My Sassy Girl remake a new trend?
After that movie sequel, now drama remake.

Open audition is not a bad idea. If it going right, they can find unknown talented actress through it. That idea is waaay better than casting an idol like Victoria.

Eventho they has Joowon, I'm not really looking forward to this drama tbh.

Wu Quian would be perfect for this?

LOL. At least they get the publicity. Never mind with the controversies, gonna think about it later. XD

I really think that Park Bo-Young would fit in here, she has shown that she can fit very well with various genres and Im pretty sure she would be perfect here.

Yoon Jin Yi
Gong Seung Yeon
Kim So Eun
Han Groo
Lee Yoon Ji
Kim Seul Gi

*hopeful*

I understand the apprehension, but at the same time, I'm actually giddy over a new face getting her step forward and a chance to get her dreams. Most of my experience comes from another industry, but I do sympathize and understand that joy from realizing that there's a contest that doesn't require you have an industry in or there's a chance for you to be seen by the people you admire and not just dream of making the right networking connection at some point.

Take that with a grain of salt, of course, since I am from another industry, but...I really, really hope someone's dreams come true and dramaland ends up benefiting from a new star that no one ever expected to find.
