It's been a decade since To the Beautiful You, why is Lee Hyun-woo still stuck in second lead hell?!

I'm not understanding Lee Hyun Woo as second lead here. Smh. I haven't heard particularly good things about Cha Eun Woo as an actor, so this is weird.

Excited for romantic doctor kim. The first two seasons were solid.

I will watch One won lawyer for Namgoong Min and Lee Chung Ah. Hopefully Kim Ji Eun doesn't ruin it.

I'll try Bad Prosecutor too.

Lee Hyunwoo as a second lead? What a joke.

Meanwhile Yoon Park is finally getting a lead role!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
And with Sooyoung!

I know everyone is offended that Cha Eun-woo is the lead over Lee Hyun-woo, but why would Lee Hyun-woo even consider this role, let alone accept it? It's about time that he stops doing teenage romance webtoon adaptations.

Lee Hyun-woo playing 2nd fiddle??? ... WAE? I'm not going to miss you, dramaland.

1. Yoon Park doing romcoms as a proper male lead… I’ve prayed for times like these.

2. Idk how I feel about this pairing, but at least Lee Jun-young is now fully out of his idol-playing-idol phase.

3. Impulsive trips just for the sake of it. Man, I wish I could do that.

4. Lee Hyun-woo is playing second fiddle to WHO??!? Dramaland is broken, this is an absolute travesty.

5. Aww, I would’ve preferred the season one leads to return instead, but I guess they’re too high-profile to bother with third seasons of something they did a while back. All the best to fans of the second season though.

6. God bless Namgoong Min and his wonderful little sunglasses. I just wish Lee Chung-ah was the female lead.

7. D.O is a great actor, especially among his idol-actor peers. But if I have to sit through yet another law-based drama this year, I will actually bash my head against a wall. Hard pass for me.

This is a first, I am able to consider all of these and it will be down to my engagement with the content whether they make it past episode 4 rather than ruling out due to the genre. It is now the usual wait and see if they are available in my area.
I agree with the previous comments that some actors, often the idol actors, pull in a crowd whatever they do and therefore will always be cast as the lead.

> I personally don’t like his acting and don’t have the same attraction tastes and beauty standards as Korea therefore neither do I find him handsome, at all, so basically avoid his content like the plague, but like I don’t think you understand; CEW’s face is literally EVERYWHERE in South Korea. Korea frakking LOVES him. CEW will keep getting lead roles as long as his selling star power and image as it currently is remains, no matter his acting ability or who the rest of the cast is. Korea does not care.
Lee Hyun Woo has been on hiatus for like 5 years and only just came back recently with Money Heist.
I’m not disputing that it’s clearly a mis-tiered hierarchy when it comes to acting ability, or that the realm of Dramaland casting isn’t just as mismanaged as normal but I don’t personally find it that surprising lmfao.
The last time CEW was in a properly balanced cast list line up was probably Top Management or Hit The Top lmfao. Please.
Anyway, I'm not even gonna watch it cos the plot sounds destined to be the wrong kind of weird for me regardless haha.

> Yoon Park x Sooyoung is a pair up I did not know I needed. Such a shame it's only 4 episodes though cos that man deserves the world.

> Hundred Won Butler actually sounds like it could be interesting. Not new, but we all know I'm a sucker for fantasy themed business operations when done well.

>*eyes glaze over at all the law dramas listed*

Okay but WHY IS LEE HYUN-WOO still second lead??? We've known him for decades!!! Esp during those time he was a child actor.

Yoon Park as a caring single dad... ❤️
(Though I will probably need some tissues ready.)

Hum... CEW, Hyeri, DO, SooYoung, Kim Ji-Eun, Lee Sung-kyung, Ahn Hyo-seop, they're all the same for me. I don't dislike them but I don't specially like their acting but they're harmless. So the rest like the co-star or the story, will make me watch it or not... Nam Goong-Min is a reason to watch it by himself.

I have enough of delinquent prosecutors. Can't we have a normal, level headed, not over the top prosecutor , non-corrupt , and without any tragic back story person as a lead? I am tried of over the top antics of these prosecutor leads.

Wow it's interesting to see even the most civil and polite kdrama forums break down in front of Cha Eunwoo! He really has an effect on everyone 🤣
Jokes apart, Korean producers will cast actors who are able to pull in every demographic groups as well as create sensation for the drama plus pull in PPL and adverts.
Eunwoo ticks all the boxes plus if he's bringing in the ratings and getting awards, by what yardstick do we measure him as inadequate?
Also he's selling out his fanmeetings as much as a k-pop group's so even the foreign audience reception metric is on his favour.
Unfortunately my distaste over his action is hardly a criteria to not cast him in a drama.
Even though I feeling uneasy seeing him in the screen I have to give him props for willfully choosing roles in dramas that don't degrade the female lead into furniture background.
Almost all of my favourite actors have been guilty of this, no matter how much I want to defend them by blaming the scriptwriters and the PD.
I have never been able to complete his dramas despite my best intentions so I'll give this one a pass.

Shows I will watch:

PLEASE SEND A FAN LETTER

MAY I HELP YOU

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER because it is a comedy but only after suspending my disbelief in the economics of the set up. Why? Because Namgoong Min.

Lee Se-hee was so fabulous in YOUNG LADY AND GENTLEMAN that I will have to check out BAD PROSECUTOR.
