ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo And Go Min Si’s Casting In New Drama Sparks Concern

Both ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo and Go Min Si have both been cast in a drama by the Hong Sisters. According to News1, Cha Eunwoo is positively reviewing the offer for the male lead. Information about the new drama has not been published. Although there were guesses that it would be Hotel Del Luna 2, it was confirmed that this drama is a different project.

While many are happy to see the pairing of two of the K-Drama World’s rising stars, netizens raised concerns about Cha Eunwoo and Go Min Si taking on a project by the Hong Sisters. The sisters are one of K-Drama’s most famous writers, having come up with hits such as You’re Beautiful, Hotel Del Luna, The Greatest Love, and Alchemy of Souls. However, they have recently come under fire for plagiarism.

• Let’s not do a drama from the Hong Sisters. Both stars probably received lots of scripts, so why must they…
• The pairing is good, but the writers are not… Let’s do another drama together instead.
• Min Si, run away…
• Seems like celebrities don’t think much about plagiarism… They’re so bird-headed.
• Min Si, Eunwoo, let’s not do this…

Their drama Hwayugi was previously accused of plagiarizing a novel called Aeyugi, while Alchemy of Souls was accused of plagiarizing a Chinese Drama called Ever Night.
