Question: What do I get if I combine my love and addiction, Asian dramas, with the one and only TV-show I watch?

Answer: Japanese version (which I introduced to you all a while ago) and now it's time for...

The Big Bang Theory: Korean Version

Don't blame me for not being creative. I'm just too lazy to search new pics, so I'm just going to edit the ones I used in the Japanese version... :'D

Most people who commented agreed with my choices, but there have also been some disagreements. One comment I remember was "Don't you think they're all too pretty/good-looking?" or something along those lines. I just have to say this: Of course they are. I've yet to see an Asian actor who is uglier than non-Asian actors. The only non-Asian actors I find good-looking are Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Emma Watson.

So since this is a Korean version you can expect them to be really pretty. I'm not saying I'm using only flower boys, but my Korean actor factory is kinda limited... Meaning I tend to watch dramas by the same actors and actresses a lot.

I'm sure all of you are dying to find out who my choices for the Korean version are, so let's begin !


THE CAST ~


Daniel Choi as Leonard Hofstadter

Don't ask why. I just had the feeling that he would make a really good Leonard :'D I've seen his acting in Baby-Faced Beauty, The MusicalGhost and most recently School 2013. I have to say that he is versatile, but I'd like to see him play this role ^^  Plus he looks damn good with glasses kekeke~ 


Ji Sung as Sheldon Cooper

Reasons why, you ask? Just because I loved his quirky character in Protect the Boss! I somehow have a feeling that his character in that was somewhat similar to Sheldon... Don't know how though... I can't say much of his acting skills since that's the only drama I've seen him, but since this is a Korean version I'm free to pick any flowers I want ~~

UEE as Penny

Every K-drama has at least one idol. In this one it would be UEE from After School. Why? Just because. I haven't seen Ojakgyo Brothers. But, based on pics I've seen on the internet, I have a feeling that she would make a really good Penny and the "girl next door".

Kim Ji Hoon as Howard Wolowitz

The reason why I picked him as Howard is because he can really yell with a big voice. He proved it in Why Did You Come To My House? (even though I have only seen 2 episodes). And because I am the one in charge of casting I can choose whoever I want ^^ At first I was thinking of Lee Hong Ki but he is kinda too young.

Dennis Oh as Raj

To be honest, I wasn't thinking of casting him as Raj at all. That was until I recently watched Witch Yoo Hee. I thought he had the Raj-like speaking style plus they kinda have the same face in the pics :'D So yup, those are my reasons.

I have no idea how much my choices for the siblings look alike, but maybe they could be half-siblings? 

And now 2 ladies left ~~ These are the choices that I already had in mind before I even wrote the Japanese one. So these are the ones that I'm confident choosing them !

Jung Ryeo Won as Bernadette Rostenkowski

If I hadn't seen History of the SalarymanI wouldn't have picked her. But since I've seen it, I chose her. Her character in Salaryman was hard-core enough for me to cast her as Bernadette. Plus, I'd like to see her act with Kim Ji Hoon ~~

Kim Seul Gi as Amy Farrah Fowler

Her character in Flower Boy Next Door was just perfect. It's enough for me to know that she would be the ONE AND ONLY who could be Amy in the Korean version. I can already imagine her as Amy :'DDD

So now that you've seen both versions, which one did you like the best? Why? Who would have you cast in the Korean version?

Oh and before someone says stuff about them being way too pretty: make-up can do wonders :P
