You and me both, sister!

i'll forever be waiting for them to reunite! soeul couple hwaiting!!!

SoEul mates forever...!

Oh girl, I am waiting for the day when I see Kim So-eun and Kim Bum together again...either in a drama or in real life. Both would be the best, though!

I second this!

Same here!!!
kim bum played the role of an angel in Padam Padam.....
and now what do we have here?? Kim So Eun as an angel!!

Exactly! Why pick Korean stars for a CHINESE drama. I mean I see the appeal of it and all but still. I find it a little too much.

China makes over 500 drama each year, that is mainland china, then you can add the hong kong one and the one from Taiwan and the figure must be closing in on 600, So you can get the idea that having the odd drama with a korean in it really not a big deal and more of a selling point as something a little different. Heck any chinese drama with the likes of Jang Nara is pretty much already a hit before it made such is her selling power in china. Indeed her last two chinese acting work have as suggested been acted out in Mandarin and as said even in doing that there no 100% that she still not going to get dubbed if her accent is not considered good enough, I think they have to pass some sort of test, not good enough then you get dubbed, and that for chinese actors as well be the way. In historical dramas it not odd to find most of the cast getting dubbed.

The Chinese Entertainment industry is like Hollywood in that they don't really seem to care about the ethnicity of the actor, as long as they fit the role.

Hollywood has tons of Australian and British actors play Americans and most people don't seem to care.

Also, like others have mentioned, Chinese companies produce a ton of TV series and movies so some projects cast "foreign" actors to attract attention.

That was exactly my thought. First he was an angel, now she's going to be one. There's something stirring in the k-drama cosmos for these two.

True! It must be fate. I miss the Bumsso couple. :(

It's really nice to know that she'll be playing such role. It suits her perfectly. I still wish to see her and Kim Bum as leads in a romantic drama.

MTE.
It's not just that. First KSE was starring in The Man Who Can't Get Married (2009), then in 2010 KB starred in The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry. Both romancing much older actor/actress. They took the same period when they're taking a break from acting, and went back to school. And now this "Angel" thingy. And so on, I can't possibly mention them over here, but they do have so many coincidences, they're giving me goosebumps. It's like they're imitating/following each other's path. I don't know it's just merely coincidence or not, but it's kind of amazing if it does.

End of my ramblings.

there is a skill in acting while the rest of the cast is speaking another language, you have to still look natural you have to get the timing right your body language is important, Siwon I found was very much just saying his lines and that about all the first few episodes but after time he seem to be, well acting more and understanding how it works. It really double acting you acting the lines and acting as if you where speaking chinese and fully understand what being said and going on. Of course a skilled voice acting dubbing you is like gold!
When Jang Nara made bratty princess they would have someone in the back ground speaking along with her in chinese [sound edited out of course] so the rest of the cast could know when to start their lines. That helped them but she had to go on body language and facial expression to time her lines, as i say it is a skill
