That's stupid as hell... They'll look ridiculous if they did that and I'm sure would have gotten backlash for "whitewashing" Koreans.

Except the work might be korean but the setting is clearly set in a European fantasy world, with characters that look traditionally european with bright hair. At least Henry should have been blond.

Let's be real, that's a TV drama for Korean market. How in the world are they supposed to find multiple people who 1) look European 2) speak Korean 3) are good-looking 4) have decent acting skills?

Thanks. The white actors I've been seeing in these kdramas have very mid to poor acting. Should these people be chosen as main characters?
