Star
Yoon Hyun-min and Ahn Woo-yeon confirmed for latest tvN webtoon adaptation
Jul 06, 2017
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. Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/07/yoon-hyun-min-and-ahn-woo-yeon-confirmed-for-latest-tvn-webtoon-adaptation/
