korean fancast of 'my fair lady/pygmalion', starring bae doona and shin hakyun.
because those two are my favourite korean actor/actress
it started with mr shin obv
then i thought abt who could be his eliza
when i tell you i'm not good with the 90s born k-actors
i thought of kim go-eun who was injoo in 작은 아씨들/little women
but she was also mr shin's ex girlfriend - i dont think that's a good idea😅 however possible the pairing may be
so i chose my favourite k-actress hehe
ms bae who looks down-to-earth yet graceful at the same time
like gosh the photshoots she slayed
i mean ms hepburn was 35(ish?) when she did mfl
and i also thought if eliza was a much older woman than in the play or the musical
the closer gap between her and henry will be an interesting take
and ms bae and mr shin are only five years apart
(we need to find a nice old gentleman to play the colonel but later in that...)
kim eui-sung maybe..?
the plot?
as an international admirer of k-culture and korean language student, i offer satoori
(watching "our blues" was the experience in jeju satoori)
"well they won't have me in one of their stores unless i can talk more gracefully."
mr shin have that saccharine, impish way of smiling that will suit the professor
busan instead of brighton
where he bought her a jade ring - that's why the picture is up there
(hope it won't break when he threw it under the sofa)
i wonder if a modern setting will work
on one hand imagine all the snacks they wrangle pronounciations over
big strawberries and grapes (the professor approves of it, on its own or in sponge cakes)
and convenience store snacks (she eats peppero and cup ramen to spite him)
americano and banana milk boxes
soju and plum teas
on the other hand, the gender perception in korea will make the professor more dislikeable?
one can imagine how the post ball scene will go down
higgins and his mouth
(the ball? a charity event between university colleagues maybe?)
and the next morning discussion at his mother's house
absolutely no reason for her to stay in that house, i want to see what arguments he will come up with
also in consideration of freddy eynsford
wi hajoon or kim woobin
i don't know, they both have those sharp looks...
wrong suggestion, we might need softer looking gentlemens
