Yoon Hyun-min and Ahn Woo-yeon confirmed for latest tvN webtoon adaptation
by awcoconuts
The popular webtoon Fall From the Sky will be adapted for the small screen by tvN, and while I haven’t read the original comic, I’m pumped for the story and by the initial casting news. Published since June of last year, the webtoon is about Fall, a celestial being who’s been banished from the heavens above and sent down to Earth. The title literally means “Fall who dropped from the sky” and could be interpreted as “Paul who fell from the sky,” but the webtoon cover has written out Fall in English, so the punny Fall it is.
Fall was born to an angel father and a human mother and thus he isn’t as powerful as other angels, but what he lacks in qualifications, he makes up for with heart. He’s uniquely positive, pleasant and full of life, and he’ll take it upon himself to protect those on Earth from attacks by unseen evil forces. His singular goal is to claw his way back to heaven, until Fall meets the one person who can see him, Seo-hee. In a twist of fate, Seo-hee will save his life, and in exchange he’ll volunteer to be her guardian angel. As they battle demons together, they’ll fall in true love along the way.
No ordinary angel, the half-blood Fall is known to have a number of weaknesses, and is quite vulnerable and human-like in many respects. Yoon Hyun-min and Ahn Woo-yeon are confirmed for the show but their character assignments have yet to be released, and I’m dying to know whether Yoon Hyun-min has been cast as the flawed angel Fall. I think he’d be a solid choice, and I’d love to see him play an upbeat and sassy character to follow his turn as the straitlaced Sun-jae in Tunnel.
Ahn Woo-yeon has been on a roll these days, with a memorable performance in Circle following his quieter roles in Strong Woman Do Bong-soon and Jealousy Incarnate. I’ve been impressed by his versatility, and I’m looking forward to what he’ll bring to the show, whether he’s cast as an angel comrade, an enemy demon, or a defenseless human.
A fresh take on the age-old tale of the battle between angels and demons, the fantasy action romance will begin filming soon and will be directed by Kim Sang-ho (Hwajeong, Arang and the Magistrate).
Fall From the Sky premieres in late August on tvN.

"Fall was born to an angel father and a human father and thus he isn’t as powerful as other angels"

OMGYES!! YOON HYUN MIN!! ♥♥♥ Already confirmed!
I hope he gets the lead role too. Fall sounds like a great character.
I also like Ahn Woo Yeon. He has had some good roles lately.
This is the first time I'm hearing about this drama and webtoon, but it sounds pretty epic. Don't know who the writer is though. I wonder how scary the demons will be? LOL
Now for the female lead?! PLEASE BE AWESOME TOO. <3

My first thought was "Ugh, not another God..." but reading on and finding out it'll be more Angels VS. Demons makes me excited! That's a concept we haven't seen in drama yet. I'm really curious as to the show will execute the angels and demons conceptually.

I like the story, it's not another all amighy God but a flawed angel.
It isn't related to Goblin but I couldn't help thinking it's like Goblin beginning reverse : she sees him first, she saves him and then he becomes her guardian angel.
Also Yoon Hyun-min confirmed, after binge watching Tunnel 3 weeks ago, it's all ok for me ? !
This summer I won't rest with all the good dramas that keep coming, not that I'm complaining , the more the better ?
Thank you for the news awcoconuts.

"No ordinary angel, the half-blood Fall is known to have a number of weaknesses, and is quite 'vulnerable' and human-like in many respects." ----
From the description, it sounds like Ahn Woo-yeon's hyung from circle to me lol. And after his brilliant performance from circle, would be glad if he takes the lead role tbh! But sadly from the poster, the 'fall'guy looks like Yoon Hyun-min? Anyway, I will just pray that dramagods listen to my plea and give my girl kim seul gi a lead role now! It has been long overdue. Seeing that this has been the year of underdogs, I would love to see some love calls for Seul Gi too :'(.

I like Yoon Hyun MIn since I saw his drama and his bromance with Jung Kyung Ho (I like him too)... Hopefully he will be the lead in this drama as he is really good in acting... Another interesting drama to add on my list :D
