"They need to be in a whole drama not just a cameo": K-drama fans want Kim Seon-ho to confirm his cameo appearance
The news of Kim Seon-ho’s special appearance spread like wildfire among K-drama fans who want the actor to confirm the casting news so they could watch him act alongside IU and Park Bo-gum. Others were elated to see the success of the actor who is receiving casting offers one after another. Some felt the trio should be in the entire drama, and the actor shouldn’t just make a cameo appearance.
Fans are excited to watch Kim Seon-ho in the upcoming Netflix drama. Check out how they are reacting to the actor’s special appearance in You Have Done Well:
In You Have Done Well, IU will portray Ae-soon, a rebellious character who becomes anxious whenever she rebels. Despite her modest background, she exudes a radiant and positive aura. Ae-Soon aspires to be a poet, even though she can’t attend school, and she wears her emotions openly, unafraid to express herself.
On the other hand, Park Bo-gum will take on the role of Gwan-shik, an exceptionally diligent and reserved individual. Though not adept in romance, he finds himself unsure of how to react when Ae-Soon displays her emotions through laughter or tears. Nevertheless, he has been silently devoted to loving Ae-Soon from the start, giving his all for her affection.
The show is penned by Im Sang-choon, known for writing the successful dramas Fight for My Way and When the Camellia Blooms. Furthermore, it is under the direction of Kim Won-seok, renowned for helming two acclaimed hits, Signal and My Mister.
