The original Web toon does not mean "synchro rate." Even if the original Character and visual are different, the possibility of success is open enough.
Web toon original Drama and 'synchro rate' are inseparable. In the case of popular Web toon, the 'virtual casting' made by fans is lined up even though the Drama is not set. Here, the original Character and the Actor's visuals play a big role. In other words, Web toon original Drama is bound to be interested in the casting process.
But "Synchro rate 100%" is a dream story: many works are well received for their high synchro rate between the original protagonist and the Drama protagonist, while others are not. In addition, there are successful Actors who break the concerns of the original fans even in the worry of 'synchro rate'.
▲ Cheese in the Trap' Hong-Soo - Kim Go-eun
Cheese in the Trap' is a work that had a thick fan base before the confirmation of the Drama. After the news of the Drama, 'virtual casting' was held early. Especially, Park Hae Jin, who was the first place in 'virtual casting', confirmed his appearance as a male protagonist Yoo Jung.
But there was a noise about the role of Hongseol. Originally, Idol Actor received a proposal, but it was not in a negative reaction, and Kim Go-eun was announced to have been proposed, but it was once again misfired. Fortunately, however, the casting was concluded with Kim Go-eun deciding to take the role again.
Of course, even after casting, there was concern that the original Hongsong and visual synchro rate did not match. Nevertheless, Kim Go-eun painted his own red snow based on his acting ability recognized through the film and was able to hear positive evaluation.
▲ 'Why is Secretary Kim doing that?' Lee Yeongjun - Park Seo-joon
The original web novel, "Why is Kim Secretary?", is very popular and is also produced as Web toon. Furthermore, it is made into Drama. However, since it is a work that already has many fans, 'Why is Kim Secretary?' Was not quiet from the casting process.
Park Seo-joon, especially in the male protagonist Lee Yeongjun, was worried that the Image did not match with the Character Character of Web toon. "I did not fit in when the casting article first appeared, I had a lot of reactions, but I would be grateful if you could watch my performance." After the work was unveiled, it made many female viewers excited and proved that concerns were raised.
▲ 'Itaewon Klath' Joy - Kim Dae-mi
'Itaewon Klath' also formed a strong fan base, popular Web toon. So early attention was focused on Actor casting. But this time, the synchro rate also made the original fans feel sorry because the cute Kim Dae-mi was cast in the Joyser Character, which was a sharp and cold Image in the original work. Park Seo-joon of the male protagonist Park Sae-roi showed a high synchro rate by performing an extraordinary hairstyle transformation, so this reaction came out more.
However, Kim Dae-mi built his own Joy book and delicately portrayed the sharp nature of the Character and attracted favorable reviews. As a result, she won the Drama category female newcomer award in the 56th Baeksang Arts Grand Prize held in June.
▲ 'Doctor Frost' Dr Frost - Song Chang-eui
'Doctor Frost' also felt sorry for the original fans because the Image of the Character and the Image of the Actor did not fit. The main Character, Dr. Frost, is a genius Character who can not sympathize with people's feelings. Song Chang-eui, who played the role, was the owner of a soft Image, unlike the Character.
So Song Chang-eui made extraordinary efforts such as reducing 5kg and dyeing silver hair just like the Character in Web toon, but the gap between the Image of the original Character and the Actor Image did not narrow down significantly. Moreover, the charm of the original work, which was Characterized by subtle psychological depictions, did not survive 100%, and in many ways accepted the unfortunate results.
