Lol, I also thought of Kim Min Jae. It's like the role was made specifically for him.

To be honest, I've been wanting a drama like this but wondered if it would ever happen. If there is romance that will hopefully keeps things from getting messy and appropriative in that try-hard and offensive sense. Hopefully, since there would be a youth aspect to it and they would want kids to watch, lol.

I'm interested. I want to see where it goes...hmmm.

Reading the introduction of the main lead already got me hoping they'd find the leads and start shooting soon! I have this things for introverts and overthinkers! Basically cos I feel them. Heh. ?? And I honestly also would've loved to see Sung-jae in this role - a fanboy and a rapper but oh well! I just hope they find a main lead. And I'm also excited to see who will play as the "goddess".

OMG, YES, I'M SO IN. ????? this sounds GREAT and so much fun. The main character's description of being awkward brought Michael Cera to mind. He's the poster child for being awkward and he plays it so well... but it's mostly because he's just playing himself. Now, is there a Korean ver of Michael Cera?

Jaw dropped at the mention of Sung-jae! I can't really see him being awkward, but I would've loved to be able to see him take on a different role!

What about Do Kyung Soo? He can act and rap really well given he's a musician in EXO and actor in lots of great dramas/movies. Pick Do Kyung Soo.

I had in mind that tech wiz kid from Legend of the Blue Sea. He's an idol isn't he?

Sungjae and Kim Minjae, the two "jae"s would have been perfect for the role. Too bad they're busy.

Among the suggestions, I like Lee Hyun Woo but he needs to move on from high school or music dramas.
Ilhoon is a risky suggestion, but I like it surprisingly a lot.
I can see Chanyeol or Baekhyun only if they improve their actings.
V (Tae) would be perfect as the awkward turned model turned rapper but I'm scared if he takes on a major role too soon.

This sounds dope. I'm loving The Liar right now, so I'm hoping for something as well done, but with hip-hop!

I hate it when I see guys put on a show and pretend to be all cool and swag and think that's "rapping." So I hope whoever gets casted will have the skills to show it, be less talk, and more show. Or should I say, less showy and more rap. lol

Why do I think of Park Bo Gum when seeing this casting news?

Can GD have a cameo in here? ahaha!! I can't think of anyone for the role but reading the comments I agree with KMJ.

Not into high school romance but this sounds interesting.

Another adaptation and music-themed, to boot! Exciting!

I can see Kim Min Jae as the male lead. He appeared on show me the money and although he was only in the initial trials, he can rap better than an actor that never tried rapping before. And he's a good actor as well.

This looks so fun!

I know this is too late for me to comment but could they cast Kim Min Jae? From what I can see in The Best Hit, he could pull this off. The character description is almost to a T to what was his in TBH and he's a good rapper too. Maybe this is just my flimsy hope I don't think he would take on a character as similar to his previous role.

Whatever happen to this drama, any latest news about it? July is almost over and I don't remember seeing news of casting or first script reading about this.

It's unbelievable but Kim Min jae perfectly fit the lead role in every aspect! Good actor who can dance and rap and sing! And would be able to act as adorable awkward kid for sure.
But he has two big movie projects coming up which start shooting right after his drama end?
Production team please wait for him. I don't think anyone wold be suitable for this role more than Minjae. Seriously, objectively.
