Yoon Hyun-min and Ahn Woo-yeon confirmed for latest tvN webtoon adaptation

The popular webtoon Fall From the Sky will be adapted for the small screen by tvN, and while I haven’t read the original comic, I’m pumped for the story and by the initial casting news. Published since June of last year, the webtoon is about Fall, a celestial being who’s been banished from the heavens above and sent down to Earth. The title literally means “Fall who dropped from the sky” and could be interpreted as “Paul who fell from the sky,” but the webtoon cover has written out Fall in English, so the punny Fall it is.

Fall was born to an angel father and a human mother and thus he isn’t as powerful as other angels, but what he lacks in qualifications, he makes up for with heart. He’s uniquely positive, pleasant and full of life, and he’ll take it upon himself to protect those on Earth from attacks by unseen evil forces. His singular goal is to claw his way back to heaven, until Fall meets the one person who can see him, Seo-hee. In a twist of fate, Seo-hee will save his life, and in exchange he’ll volunteer to be her guardian angel. As they battle demons together, they’ll fall in true love along the way.

No ordinary angel, the half-blood Fall is known to have a number of weaknesses, and is quite vulnerable and human-like in many respects. Yoon Hyun-min and Ahn Woo-yeon are confirmed for the show but their character assignments have yet to be released, and I’m dying to know whether Yoon Hyun-min has been cast as the flawed angel Fall. I think he’d be a solid choice, and I’d love to see him play an upbeat and sassy character to follow his turn as the straitlaced Sun-jae in Tunnel.

Ahn Woo-yeon has been on a roll these days, with a memorable performance in Circle following his quieter roles in Strong Woman Do Bong-soon and Jealousy Incarnate. I’ve been impressed by his versatility, and I’m looking forward to what he’ll bring to the show, whether he’s cast as an angel comrade, an enemy demon, or a defenseless human.

A fresh take on the age-old tale of the battle between angels and demons, the fantasy action romance will begin filming soon and will be directed by Kim Sang-ho (Hwajeong, Arang and the Magistrate).

Fall From the Sky premieres in late August on tvN.

OMGYES!! YOON HYUN MIN!! ♥♥♥ Already confirmed!
I hope he gets the lead role too. Fall sounds like a great character.

I also like Ahn Woo Yeon. He has had some good roles lately.

This is the first time I'm hearing about this drama and webtoon, but it sounds pretty epic. Don't know who the writer is though. I wonder how scary the demons will be? LOL

Now for the female lead?! PLEASE BE AWESOME TOO. <3

My first thought was "Ugh, not another God..." but reading on and finding out it'll be more Angels VS. Demons makes me excited! That's a concept we haven't seen in drama yet. I'm really curious as to the show will execute the angels and demons conceptually.

I like the story, it's not another all amighy God but a flawed angel.
It isn't related to Goblin but I couldn't help thinking it's like Goblin beginning reverse : she sees him first, she saves him and then he becomes her guardian angel.
Also Yoon Hyun-min confirmed, after binge watching Tunnel 3 weeks ago, it's all ok for me ? !
This summer I won't rest with all the good dramas that keep coming, not that I'm complaining , the more the better ?
Thank you for the news awcoconuts.

"No ordinary angel, the half-blood Fall is known to have a number of weaknesses, and is quite 'vulnerable' and human-like in many respects." ----
From the description, it sounds like Ahn Woo-yeon's hyung from circle to me lol. And after his brilliant performance from circle, would be glad if he takes the lead role tbh! But sadly from the poster, the 'fall'guy looks like Yoon Hyun-min? Anyway, I will just pray that dramagods listen to my plea and give my girl kim seul gi a lead role now! It has been long overdue. Seeing that this has been the year of underdogs, I would love to see some love calls for Seul Gi too :'(.

Holy moly! Thanks for this intriguing news, awcoconuts! It sounds as if Fall is not your average garden-variety guardian angel. This guy immediately came to mind:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZo0T-xWhxM

NB: Be sure to watch all the way to the end! That's the late Jean Stapelton as the halmoni. She portrayed the iconic Edith Bunker in ALL IN THE FAMILY. What a great actress! That guy in the trench coat used to wear a three-piece suit. You might have heard of him. ;-)

Make it a modern mashup between MICHAEL and ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE, and I'll be a happy camper indeed. I'd enjoy it even more if the King of Heaven and the Jade Emperor put in appearances as functionaries from a competing bureaucracy. Must have more flowery goat. ;-)

I would love to see Yoon Hyun-min play Fall. He was terrific as the third-lead plastic surgeon Do Joon-ho in DISCOVERY OF LOVE. He was great in BEAUTIFUL MIND, too -- but I'd like to see him in a flat-out romp. Put him back in pinstripes for even more fun.

For a second there I thought that Fall is some kind of clone who's been shanghaied from CIRCLE or DUEL. Hmmm. That would have given Ahn Woo-yeon an inside track. I'm looking forward which role he'll play. Hmmm. A reaper?! Or perhaps a sympathetically Miltonian Adversary? ;-)

Director Kim Sang-ho? Count me in! I loved ARANG AND THE MAGISTRATE to bits! HWAJUNG was also a very good show.

Hey back! YHM sang in the last episode of Witch's Romance and I was like *jaw dropped* wow, he's a total multiplayer! His bromance with Park Seo Joon was too cute in that show.
Eriiiiiiic! Too bad he and YHM didn't have many scenes together in DofR, we would have short-circuited ? In a good way.
Did you see the photos of Eric's gorgeous wedding?

"Fall was born to an angel father and a human mother and thus he isn’t as powerful as other angels, but what he lacks in qualifications, he makes up for with heart. He’s uniquely positive, pleasant and full of life, and he’ll take it upon himself to protect those on Earth from attacks by unseen evil forces."

Wow. Sounds like a really heartwarming premise. It's great to have a few more warm-hearted heros in dramaland who will play leads and be the center of the drama! (: It kind reminds of Neighbourhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho... but with a lovely fantasy twist! The romance sounds intriguing too, to have a female character be his knightess in shining armour, hehe.

I hadda look up Yoon Hyun-min and Ahn Woo-yeon though, since I didn't watch Tunnel or Circle yet. It's cool that they've been playing other smaller but memorable characters that I've watched but don't remember! ?? Like, I didn't realize Yoon Hyun-min was Park Seo-joon's hilarious friend in Witch's Romance, and that Ahn Woo-yeon was the sad sidelined friend in Jealousy Incarnate!

Looking forward to this, hopefully we'll get some cool graphics too!

I am watching this! Sounds right up my alley.

Supernatural hero but vunerable with a good heart, saved by human girl, they fall in love and kick some evil demons ass!

I like!

Please cast a good female lead! And if they aren't foes then let's have some epic bromance between these 2 boys too! Ok? Please?? ?
