She's not even 20 and she's already one of the hottest starlets right now. Not being in GG has definitely worked out for her. I LOVE casting what-ifs. Sung Yu Ri and Joo Ji Hoon were cast for both Spring Waltz and Hong Gil Dong. Summer Scent was offered to Song Hye Kyo (i.e. Autumn Tale reunion) before Song Ye Jin. Winter Sonata was originally offered to Lee Young Ae before Choi Ji Woo, with a substantially different story. I'm Sorry I Love You was offered to Lee Dong Gun before So Ji Sup.

Sometimes though, when I hear stuff like these, I start imagining what the series itself would've been like with casting changes. Really, I think stars shouldn't go towards such things, unless to clear up misconceptions. For example, the actress in Goong and Coffee Prince had had rumors buzzing about what happened when she was going to be in Que Sera Sera and dropped out. It AFFECTED her image, so I think it'd be okay for her to speak out about that and defend herself, but if it's just randomness...Why bother even looking back? Shouldn't one instead focus on what new projects one shall be a part of? And who could've guaranteed that the series would've been BETTER with the different casting?

“What could’ve been…”

I know something like this issue is gonna come. Honestly speaking, I think the K-entertainment is really volatile in the sense that a slated role for a certain star may get an approval note NOW but the next minute, it seems to have gone to another person. So maybe that's where the root problem lies. Don't they do some thorough homework before offering a role to someone and making a big promotion thingy? On another note, second choices prove better.........Could it be due to these 2nd choices WORKING EXTRA HARD to prove their value and worth, and not a grave mistake in hiring them for a role?
