bruh it was so hard to find a "rough" looking actor because all of the major actors in his age bracket have that flower boy look lolol that's why park seo joon was my second choice

i didn't go into john grey or fergus in the article because i imagined the korean adaptation stopping before their characters appear as adults, but yeah i could totally see some of those you listed. realistically speaking based on other dramas there would be an idol in the cast somewhere xD

I've had it on my list for ages because I'm a huge fan of Park Min Young as well, but I've always gone back and forth on whether to watch it because of Yoochun :/ I might just suck it up and watch it one day because the rest of the cast is so likable.

i personally have not been able to separate yoo yeon seok from his role in a werewolf boy even though it's been years lol i have been scarred, he was so cruel in that roll i just can't picture him as jamie

good or bad?

honestly, the kdrama could probably get it done in 30, maybe less depending on how much filler were to be cut

why have one adaptation when we could have both?? lol admittedly i don't watch many chinese dramas (currently working on amending that) so i can't even imagine a cast, i'd be interested to see what people would come up with!

Thank you~~

Thanks! I'd say "I hope you like pain" but isn't that why we all watch this show in the first place? lol jokes aside, season 5 was good, I hope you have fun~

I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you!! I worked really hard, the compliments really mean a lot :D

Ikr age is so complicated. Even in the STARZ version they had to cast them a bit older than they were in the books (I believe Sam and Caitriona were both in their 30s when they filmed the first season?) which is why I was looking for someone around Yoo Ah In's age because it eventually has to be believable that they're both old enough to have a daughter in her 20s after the time jump. Which is where my concern jumps in for Shin Hye Sun and Son Ye Ji looking/being too young (despite being incredibly talented), Claire has a really mature vibe because she is older than Jamie by a few years and has experience been married.

Thank you so much!!! :D

respect, but I would personally have to disagree on the lack of chemistry in kdramas because that's so heavily dependent on getting the right actors. in regards to the rest, i feel like historical dramas tend to get away with more violence than modern day ones? (i'm also of the personal opinion that the sex isn't necessary to convey intimacy). The time and money would be the biggest issue in adapting Outlander because I am sure the rights to the story alone are Expensive.

it's been a minute since we've gotten a good time travel drama from korea tho, and outlander does it so well that they can use the trope without it being too tired imo (or at least that's how it would ideally be if the adaptation was done right lol)

BIG MOOD. I think because it's been a while since I've seen Laoghaire that the negative feelings have died down so I'm able to picture an actress I really like in the role but I remember h a t i n g her when she was on the show.

isn't it so hard to cast! i love all those actors, but isn't woo do hwan only two years older than park se wan? this was my problem casting it, i overthought everything lolol

thank you! it took a long time, i'm glad people are liking it :D

lol i really need to watch faith

the first outlander book was published in 1991 so I guess it could be argued that Faith took inspiration from diana gabaldon?
