Choi Sulli as Goo Jaehee (Mizuki Ashiya)
So for everyone who like me didn't understand which character was which in the casting news, I've made a handy guide with the help of some guides made by people who have a longer attention span than me. To the Beautiful You's airing date has been pushed back to the 15th because Ghost's airing was preempted by the Olympics, so while you're waiting, check this out^^
Choi Minho as Kang Taejoon (Sano Izumi)
Lee Hyun Woo as Cha Eun-gyeol (Nakatsu Shuichi)
Kim Jiwon as Seol Ha-na (Yamashina Rina)
(pretty much just a guess, but this is the only character the drama character description fits. she appears for a very short time at the beginning of the manga. they may have just made a character for her though.)
Ki Tae-young as Jang Min-woo (Dr. Umeda)
(Ki Tae-young is the husband of Eugene of S.E.S.)
Seo Jun young as Ha Seung-ri (Nanba Minami) *DORM 2 LEADER
Hwang Kwang-hee as Song Jong-min (Nakao)
(yeah I don't really get this one at all. of all the idols you could get to act as a feminine-looking guy...)
Yoo Min Kyu as Young-mahn (Megumi Tennoji) *DORM 1 LEADER
Kim Ee An/Kim Ian as Na Chul Soo (Oscar M. Himejima) *DORM 3 LEADER
(an actor under SM Ent, he's been in a couple musicals before)
Kang Ha-neul as Joo Ji-cheol (Makoto Kagurazaka)
Ahn Hye-kyung as Yang Seo-yoon (Akiha Hara)
(...yeah apparently they turned the gay guy into a girl. idk what to say)
Julien Kang as Daniel (Mizuki’s half-brother from America)
Kang Kyung-joon, Lee Young-eun
And now for some apparently drama-original characters? (I might be wrong it's been a long time since I've read the manga)
from dramabeans:
Kang will play athletic coach Byun Kwang-min, who’s not so brainy (“simple and uneducated”) but rates strong on the brawny meter. He’s a former high jumper and he’s known for being tough on his students, making him an antagonistic presence to the kids. But he turns into a softy whenever he’s around love interest and fellow language teacher Lee Young-eun (Marriage Plot). Which makes me think of the sidekicks in Big — or, you know, any of the High Kicks, which may be more apropos given this writer’s resumé.
And finally, a new trailer (not much new material):

Mods, I hope this is okay since we haven't had a post on a lot of these cast members yet.
I'd love for just one scene where he interacts with Chanyeol. Just 'cause I find them so similar to each other. Height, face, deep voice, and everything.
That SM actor playing Oscar is pretty cute. :)
OMG. THIS. Chanyeol and him could sooooo be brothers. *_*

Julien Kang, Hello der.
OP thank you so much for putting together this post! it was very helpful.
I can never imagine Yoo Minkyu as Tennouji. And that guy as Nanba looks so old...
Can we have a guy Akiha Hara? :(
Dayummm Julien.
Not too fond of the Tennouji casting, but will have to see him in action. The rest looks pretty decent :o
Hiro <3
but the guy play as him is a musical actor so
won't say anything; i expect they to keep oscar
insane but maybe in this case it's not? :/
ZOMGEE NAKAO ? THAT NAKAO OKAY KWANGHEE
unless they have a bit diff characteristic then uhm;
oh i always forgot that reporter name is akiha otl
that one named hana maybe will be someone from blossom academy?
i kind of thinking someone from snsd;; then i'm exciting to see
exo boys in here i heard rumours abt the dorm placement but
nothing confirm yet
i'll still probably watch this for sulli and the 1 second of exo screentime per ep.
Yeah I started following him on Twitter during High Kick LOL
