This drama wasn't it...atleast for me
I'm gonna start with the story, the story was very attractive and because of this I was disappointed. I mean who wouldn't like a story with three badass FLs.1) The story/ the ending, in particular, was predictable
2) The team was lacking, what I mean by that is there too many unnecessary obstacles, and almost every now and then the team tries to obtain something they can't lay their hands on it. This was quite frustrating for me to watch.
3)The romance was a whole obstacle of its own, even though I considered Ye Eun (the expert at computer) and the celebrity to be a cute couple I thought the romance between the CEO and the main character was overwhelming considering the fact that she was an agent, and that to someone he knew from the past.
4) As much as I liked the actors, I felt like some of their actings was exaggerated.
5) The drama as a whole was unnecessarily dragged out.
I liked the action scenes and the team leader(Gwan Soo), those were probably the only things that kept me from being distracted while watching this drama. As someone who had been waiting for this drama for a while, I was really disappointed. The writer had us in the beginning but the writer just went astray. I expected something refreshing/new but it turned out this way.

Oh.... I really tried to like this drama but it was very hard just to watch another episode of it. I stopped at Ep 10 and ponder on whether or not I should finish it or not based on the final episode. Turns out, I dropped it because my favorite character was gone in the final episode. I was so sadden seeing this scene. You can say this was the tipping point for me on giving up on this drama.I watched the first 2 episodes when it premiered but there wasn't anything that made me want more from this drama. It wasn't a drama I just had to wait for the next week to watch. It's forgettable for me in terms of I forget I was actually watching this. Plot seemed like it could've developed into something interesting but never pertain to my interest. Sometimes I felt like the Good Casting team forgot what their overall mission was. The 3 female leads, I don't know. I just couldn't connect with them. I feel like there wasn't enough story for them especially for Yi Eun & Mi Soon. There was some comedy and I did find a lot of scenes funny but this drama started to back away from it.
The romance in this drama was lacking for me. Not in the terms of that there weren't romance but how the writers decided to showcase this so called "romance". The focus is on two. The first is Chan Mi & Suk Ho. I liked the flashback scenes when the present scene reminded them of a memory but in the present time, it's like they won't even dare to have any cute moments together when clearly this drama hints they should be together. It was very hard to see the sparks between these two. Then you have couple #2, Ye Eun & Woo Won. who I think have great chemistry based on their scenes but I hated how Woo Won is pretty much a bratty child celebrity who eventually falls in love but with no character growth. All he ever does is yell at Ye Eun. Like my goodness, be nice to her if you want to win her heart. Not sure what she saw in him, or if she even truly liked him because I surely didn't see it, then again I stopped at Ep 10 so I wouldn't know.
While I did like the cast of this drama, there was nothing special about it for me. Even though I didn't like how the last episode was written, despite that, there wasn't anything that made me want to continue it through the last episode. Of course, this is just my two cents on this somewhat action drama. You may have a different perspective.

Agree with 3GGG above - fatal flaw in this
Like the other reviewer I think this is 'made for me' - three strong female leads including my current favourite screen actor Choi Kang Hee - and the production is excellent and it is written very well, and all the interactions between the characters are fine (particularly like Kim Ji Young's 'Mi Soon') but it just doesn;t hold together - and almost immediately I realised what was wrong - all those idiotically extended fight/action sequences, they just go on and on to no purpose whatsoever, taking up a significant percentage of most episodes. The series would have been 10 eps top without them, I am sure. I feel cheated - so many good aspects to this and yet I didn't enjoy it, and would find it hard to recommend. If this had concentrated more on the three main characters, obviously some some action and character peril for tension, it would have been brilliant.Was this review helpful to you?
.
Good cast and had a decent start but there weren't enough interesting elements to keep it alive, it fell off shortly after. Not even the thriller/mystery elements were that good. Half of it was filled with nothing. Weird and out of place injection of romance especially with Ye Eun.Was this review helpful to you?
Very catchy drama and need to be watch.
Actually at first when I watch the trailer, I got something catchy about this drama. 'Good Casting' is a good chosen of title that represents what it means to be. I like the role of Choi Kang Hee as Baek Chan Mi, really caught my eye on how she need to carry out her mission instead of meet her long friend that has crush on her a long time ago before she turned to be an agent at NIS. She's very good at fighting skill that required in every mission. The male role is Lee Sang Yeob as Yoon Suk Ho, CEO of Ilkwang Hitech appointed Baek Chan Mi as his new secretary begins to learn that she is too similar with his crush as a tutor a long time ago. The mentioned rating is based on what its currently airing now. So, I'm waiting for the next episode that should be more catchy and exciting.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointing
Good Casting has been by far the most disappointing drama I have watched to date - an uninspiring plot filled with clichés, weak performances from a few cast members (ironically making it not a 'good casting' choice), and 2D characters that felt like if they were in a novel, you wouldn't know who would be who!From episodes 1 to 5 I literally hated watching 'Good Casting' and wanted to drop it then and give it a lower rating than an overall 4.5/10, however, I make sure to always watch at least half of a drama before I drop it, and from episodes 6 to 8, there was some improvement, but not enough for me to give more time of my life to be devoted to the second half of 'Good Casting'.
Some positives: OST, the editing style (although it became a little too much after some time), some of the action scenes.
I welcome people to still try out Good Casting, but don't say I didn't warn you. I feel you'll find yourself dropping it too.

Achei incrível como as três se completam, o que falta em uma tem na outra. Baek Chan Mi é a determinada, mas que sempre se importa muito com os a sua volta, Im Ye Eun é atrapalhada de bom coração, Hwang Mi Soon é a boa de lábia e a sensata para todas as questões. Todas inteligentes e com ótimo trabalho de equipe. Também queria falar do chefe Dong, ele é um excelente estrategista, seu planos são elaborados, sem contar que sempre é atencioso e cuidadosos com elas, mas sem as tratar como incapazes de se defender.
Claro que teve personagens insuportáveis como o Gang Woo Won e a Shim Hwa Ran e sinceramente não sei quem é mais odioso Seo Gook Hwan, Myung Gye Chul ou Ok Chul. Aliás Ok Chul é quem mais me surpreendeu, acho que foi intencional, fazer parecer um pateta idiota, mas que na verdade é super ambicioso inteligente. Amei isso.
Tentei pensar em algo que não gostei e pensei em duas coisas que na verdade em são algo que estraga seu charme. O caminhão deles nunca muda a envelopagem, mesmo quando todos investigados já o conhecem, isso é um erro e são péssimos em perseguições, eram muito óbvios, rápidos, mas óbvios.
Em resumo amei tudo e acho que o final foi um bom gancho para uma próxima temporada, espero que aconteça.

História com potencial, mas ficou longe da excelência...
Como peça de entretenimento vale a pena assistir.HISTÓRIA - um plot enredado, mas pouco rebuscado. Mistérios que ficaram por resolver (não entendo se haverá lugar para outra temporada...), espionagem industrial sem grande interesse. Este drama segue a carreira de espionagem de 3 mulheres, divertidas e meio loucas, com características distintas. Fazem, juntamente com o líder da equipa, um grupo interessante e meio eficaz com doses de incompetência. Apesar disso, as 3 lidam melhor com as vicissitudes da sua arriscada e perigosa profissão do que com o quotidiano familiar.
Pelo meio há amor, relações que tornam a série mais interessante... desde um prumeiro amor sólido e íntegro; um imbecil egoísta que parece receber, vindo não se sabe donde, uma dose de humanidade e humildade, uma vilã fantástica que desconhecemos um pouco a sua vida, traidores e traidoras...
ATUAÇÃO - creio que é a melhor parte deste drama. Muito boa.
MUSICAL - nada de extraordinário. Não gostei.
REVER - não o faria por haver incontáveis opções deste e de outros géneros. Principalmente porque, apesar de não haver grandes resoluções e descobertas de alguns mistérios, há uma trama que já conheço e que torna o visionamento mais aborrecido.
NO GERAL - se gostar de uma série com doses de loucura, estupidez, cenas ridículas, ação e 3 mulheres divertidas e com personalidades interessantes, então poderá ter aqui algumas horas interessantes. Mas, nada de muito marcante irá encontrar. Para mim, se quiser ver mulheres fantásticas fico pelo drama SEARCH: WWW (BUSQUE: WWW)...
