SM Entertainment is reportedly auditioning D.O. fromEXO (Do Kyung Soo) and Irene from Red Velvet for supporting roles in the main cast ensemble of upcoming Answer Me 1988. So far the drama appears to be having problems with casting after the first potential signing of Hyeri of Girl’s Day got massive (and justified) blowback from fans. Since then it’s stalled on officially announcing any of the possible young castings.Right now the drama has only signed on the parent roles with the return of Song Dong Il, Lee Il Hwa, and Kim Sung Kyun, but parents alone do not a drama make. Answer Me has cast idols in both 1997 and 1994 so it’s not shocking or a step in the wrong direction to consider idols for this third installment. The kicker is to find idols who can act, like Jung Eun Ji from Apink, Hoyafrom Infinite, Baro from B1A4, and Dohee from Tiny-G. All of those idols impressed me enough from their AM turns that I welcome their transition into acting. Let’s hope the final cast of AM1988 chooses idols as wisely.I’m excited if D.O. does end up joining the cast of AM1988 but am totally clueless who this Irene is therefore have no opinion good or bad if she’s cast since I don’t know if she can act or not. The only thing I take away from this rumored casting push is that SM really wants to get its young idols into the AM series. AM1988 actually seems like a great next step for D.O., aside from his guest starring turn in the upcoming KBS drama I Remember You (formerly Hello Monster). I see a natural affinity and talent for acting based on his debut turn in It’s Okay, It’s Love, and someone who takes to acting in such an impactful way should keep churning out projects to hone his skills. Hopefully the production will announce the final cast soon rather than dragging the process out.Source: http://koalasplayground.com/2015/04/24/d-o-of-exo-and-irene-of-red-velvet-reportedly-auditioning-for-answer-me-1988/---------------------------------------------------------Yes cast D.O please! I'm excited if he's in since he does have a big potential in acting after watching his previous works.I'm neutral about Irene because I don't know how her acting is.

StaRix Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Lee Yi-kyung in consideration for Answer Me 1988by girlfriday Oh, I’d be happy if this casting news stuck: Lee Yi-kyung is looking at a possible career-launching role in the cast of Answer Me 1988, though as always, reports are mixed about whether or not it’s a sure thing. Lee has been a really strong supporting actor in everything that I’ve seen him in, and I love that he has a really diverse set of roles on his resume playing all sorts of weirdos and misfits, from scary to zany to hilarious.The 26-year-old actor debuted in the film White Night and made his television debut inSchool 2013. He quickly racked up drama titles following School, including Nine, You From Another Star, You’re All Surrounded, and Maids; and he’s currently in the laugh-out-loud tvN comedy Superman Age, which definitely bodes well for his comedic timing and range.Answer Me 1988 is still being extra cautious and playing everything really close to the vest as far as stories, characters, and especially casting confirmations. All we know for now is that the third installment of the throwback youth-centered franchise will head to 1988 and focus on three neighbor families.Read more: dramabeans.com/2015/05/lee-yi-kyung-in-consideration-for-answer-me-1988/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czakhareina Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hyeri of Girl’s Day Still Being Considered for Leading Lady of Answer Me 1988Posted on May 10, 2015 by ockoalaDid no one at tvN get the memo from the audience feedback on Hyde, Jekyll, Me? Tucked into the critical panning of the entire drama was a very big line item on supporting actress Hyeri of Girl’s Day being singularly terrible even within the bigger bad that was Hyde. Watching her trying to emote from a dull soulless expression was nails on chalkboard excruciating. I may not have loved all the Answer Me dramas but at least the series has been memorable and unique enough to deserve a better leading lady.News broke this weekend that Hyeri was confirmed for Answer Me 1988, to play the daughter of Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa‘s characters in this third installment. The feedback was as bad as when news first came out two months ago that she had received an offer to join this drama. Her agency quickly clarified that Hyeri auditioned two months ago and is still waiting for confirmation from the production as to her involvement, i.e. nothing has been confirmed yet. Sadly that’s not the clarification I wanted to hear, the better one would be that she’s proactively decided to take herself out of consideration for the drama, period. http://koalasplayground.com/2015/05/10/hyeri-of-girls-day-apparently-still-in-contention-for-leading-lady-of-answer-me-1988/ ***************** Hyeri awaits casting decision after auditioning for 'Reply 1988' Osen - Naver: Hyeri's reps, "'Confirmed for Reply 1988'"?

Guest ororomunroe Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Park Bo Gum in Talks for Leading Role in “Reply 1988″ On May 15, an affiliate of the drama department told Daily Sports, “Park Bo Gum has auditioned for tvN‘s ‘Reply 1988.’”A representative of the actor’s agency Blossom Entertainment also said, “Park Bo Gum has auditioned and had a meeting with the drama’s production team, but the results are not out yet. He is currently waiting.”If Park Bo Gum is cast for the drama, he will be the first youthful character in ‘Reply 1988′ so far. Actors Sung Dong Il, Lee Il Hwa, Kim Sung Kyun, Ra Mi Ran, and Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri are some possible cast members, and Park Bo Gum is the first young male actor to be in talks of joining the drama as of now.This actor has starred in “Bridal Mask,” “Wonderful Days,” “Tomorrow Cantabile,” and more, and will be taking his first lead role in “Reply 1988″ if he is confirmed for the drama.This drama is planned to start production in September.Cr: Soompi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ororomunroe Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Park Bo Geum and Han Groo in Talks for Leads of Answer Me 1988 Double yes! I already got good casting news this week with the addition of Im Joo Hwan andKwak Si Yang to upcoming tvN drama Oh My Ghost. Now comes an extra helping of much anticipated drama land return with news that rising young actor Park Bo Geum is in talks for the male lead of tvN drama Answer Me 1988, which coincidentally is scheduled to take over the same time slot after Oh My Ghost. With all the casting maybes and rumors out of AM1988, I was inching towards giving the drama a pass until this news halt my dwindling interest and sends it hurtling the opposite direction towards must watch.To sweeten the AM1988 casting pot even more, Park Bo Geum’s likely casting as the male lead was followed a few hours later with the additional news that Han Groo has been offered the female lead role. I was not sad that she passed on Scholar Who Walks the Night mostly because I can’t see her with Lee Jun Ki, and more importantly her style is all wrong for that female lead based on a very specific manhwa character. Here the news of her casting has me whooping with joy because I can totally see her shining in the AM series with very down home characters and story lines.

Guest ororomunroe Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 More casting possibilities and confusion for Answer Me 1988 In a nutshell: Park Bo-gum(Cantabile Tomorrow) may be cast, and Han Groo (Marriage Not Dating) most likely will not.I know, we hardly even know she was someone to consider, but news broke today that Han Groo was “the contender with the highest likelihood” to be cast. Almost immediately, a wave of rebuttals were released stating that she isn’t in the running, quashing my very excited hopes before they’d even had room to spread their wings and fly. Casting on this drama has been a minefield of incomplete and premature news, and one look at Han Groo’s current headlines gives you a taste of the chaotic press machine: She is either in the running, is likely the lead, is definitely not the lead, has only met with producers once, or has never once met with producers. Well then. She is also either a person or not a person. Just to make that clear.Read more: http://www.dramabeans.com/2015/05/more-casting-possibilities-and-confusion-for-answer-me-1988/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czakhareina Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Double.. err triple... er mutiple yes for Han Groo!!!It would be so awesome if this time around the male lead is sung dong il and lee il hwa's SON while the female lead is Kim Sunkyung's daughter. And if the daughter is hangroo... multiple times EPIC!!!but as of late I have been seeing Han Groo's name in potential casting for multiple dramas. But she never gets an an okay. First kt was scholar who walks at night where is was super looking forward for her to play female lead masquerading as male in joseon era. Havent really seen her in joseon attire but i think she would do fine. Then she was also in talks for chaebol's daughter opposite warm words co star PSJ (now hight society with UEE and Subg joon as leads) but that was squashed after a couple of days. And now this. I just hope this one sticks!!! For real! But if it doesn't... why? Why? Dramagods why?urghh i am still scared if Hyeri gets the role. Please not her.

Supporting actor Lee Yi Kyung, who I last saw in You’re All Surrounded as Lee Seung Gi’s maybe half-brother, has confirmed auditioning for the drama and remains in contention for a role in the main cast. He’s not bad at all and has a memorable presence onscreen even if not leading man material (yet), he would be great in a goofier role for this drama.

Guest ororomunroe Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Answer Me 1988 Confirms Final Casting with Leads Park Bo Geum, Hyeri, and Go Kyung Pyo The casting has been finalized for Answer Me 1988, the third installment of the popular tvNAnswer Me series, and it basically boils down to one rotten apple potentially stinking up what would otherwise be an perfectly fine dish. The production just released the confirmed cast and it includes the following: Hyeri of Girl’s Day as the female lead, Park Bo Geum is the male lead, and the supporting cast consists of Go Kyung Pyo (a Tomorrow’s Cantabile reunion), newbie actress Ryu Hye Young (last seen in Spy), movie actor Ryu Jun Yeol, Lee Dong Hwi (Lee Jun Ki‘s buddy in Joseon Gunman), rising young actor Ahn Jae Hong, with the parents played by third time returning veterans Sung Dong Il and Lee Il Hwa. Filming is scheduled to start in the summer with an eye towards a fall air date on the cable network. One guess who I think is the rotten egg casting of the bunch before I vent a little below?

riribl Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm in for Park Bo Geum as male lead! He's so charming. Go Kyung Pyo is also familiar to me, his acting is good. I've seen Lee Dong Hwi's acting, he can act.I have mixed feelings about Hyeri. I haven't watched her acting so I don't know how her acting is, but people's comments are so bad about her acting. Actors in previous Reply series all can act though so I hope to see at least decent acting from her in this Reply series. I'll keep my comments about her acting for later.
