crazy insane omg etc etc etc this means kim jaeyoung (and sooyoung if you don't count run on) will finally have a drama with them as mains airing in front of a really large audience!!! so happy for them ๐ฅฐ
from a casting article: "through 'I DOL I,' Jung Man-sik embarks on yet another transformation, portraying…
funny tidbits (sorry i'm a language nerd): - CEO's name is geum bosang ๊ธ๋ณด์ which means gold + compensation LOL the writer really seems to like giving names with descriptive meaning. - do raik ๋๋ผ์ต sounds like "dorai" ๋๋ผ์ด aka slang for crazy/eccentric person, and switching the order of idol ์์ด๋ which is pronounced aidol you get dolai ๋์์ด (R/L has interchangeable pronunciation). the drama title may sound kinda weird, but it's actually pretty fun - maeng sena ๋งน์ธ๋ has maengse ๋งน์ธ which means "vow" or "oath" like the one you take as a lawyer and in court, or "to swear" as a verb since, as a longtime fan, she also swore loyalty to her favorite idol and wants to defend him and prove his innocence. na ๋ just means "me" so you can read it as "i swear"
from a casting article: "through 'I DOL I,' Jung Man-sik embarks on yet another transformation, portraying an agency CEO who faces the harsh realities, responsibilities, and complex interests of the entertainment industry." looking forward to some possibly really interesting commentary on the idol industry ๐ to me it doesn't sound like the CEO will be a villain here. now, i'm also really curious as to what kind of character kim won hae is playing!
itโll be available on VIKI and in South Korean itโll be shown on ENA Network

OH MY GOD LOOKS LIKE IT'S NETFLIX? ๐ญ๐ฅ (with exception of China, also read it will be availabe on VIU in some SEA countries but i can't access that)
