10 Actors Who Would Be Perfect In The K-Drama Adaptation Of Webtoon "The Mermaid I Loved" [VOTE]

With all the amazing webtoons-based dramas that have been released in the past couple of years, we have only become more excited about upcoming K-Dramas linked with webtoons.
The webtoon "The Mermaid I Loved" is a special case because the story was first written as a script for a drama production. The drama production is on its way and the webtoon was pre-released. The drama's production company, Group Eight, thought that in releasing it first as a webtoon they could showcase some of the various deep sea adventures of the story and also help garner attention for the drama.
"The Mermaid I Loved" by Cosmic Bom Bom and Bubal on NAVER
The romance fantasy adventure webtoon “The Mermaid I Loved” ("내가 사랑한 물고기," literal translation, “The Fish I Loved”), written by Cosmic Bom Bom and Bubal (우주봄봄 and 부발), tells the story of a man whose intermittent transformations into a mermaid become increasingly uncontrollable as he experiences the emotion of love and spends time with a woman who he finds himself more and more attracted to. The season 1 of the webtoon ended on March 13th with 31 episodes.
Given the webtoon’s popularity, Group Eight is looking forward the positive effect the webtoon will have on the upcoming drama’s viewership. They have built a solid portfolio with dramas based on webtoons like "Taxi Driver", "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and "A Good Day To Be A Dog". Among their awaited projects is the reboot of the popular drama "Princess Hours" (2006).
Currently, there are no actors cast for “The Mermaid I Loved”. Fans of the webtoon are waiting for the announcement of the cast. We can already think of actors and actresses who would be perfect for the roles!
"The Mermaid I Loved" by Cosmic Bom Bom and Bubal on NAVER
We at Kpopmap have thought up a cast of actors who would suit this drama amazingly.
1. Sim Kai (심카이), a mermaid and 3rd generation chaebol
Sim Kai is the lead male character. He discovered he was a mermaid 12 years ago and he pretends to be a human.

When he shares physical touch with a woman, his fish scales begin to appear and he transforms back into his mermaid form. Because of this, he avoids all contact with women and has been single his whole life.
But due to his handsome looks, he has a lot of girls chasing after him, so he hired YaNa to pretend to be his girlfriend. However, he can’t help himself from having physical contact with YaNa even if it means he won’t be able breathe.

Kai is the son of the jewelry brand Inoroo, or 3rd generation chaebol, but he is not interested in the family business and instead prefers performing as a mermaid at the aquarium.
The actor must possess features suitable for long hair and a muscular physique to be able to portray a mermaid. He should exude charm and look dazzling in a suit, while also being capable of conveying a mix of cynicism, cuteness, and panic in his expressions. Comfort with underwater filming is also mandatory.
Moon SangMin, WEi's Kim YoHan, Baek SungChul, Kim MyungSoo (INFINITE's L), and Chae JongHyeop could be a good match.

Not only would they look stunning with long hair and looks amazing in suits, but their facial features would perfectly match the character's. Beyond their physical attributes, all five actors possess the talent and ability to convey Kai through the right facial expressions. The genre of fantasy romance suits them impeccably. Each actor would bring their unique colors and charms to the character, making him stand out on screen. Additionally, we can anticipate excellent chemistry with the lead actress.

2. Jung YaNa (정야나), an easy-going part-time student

Jung YaNa (24 years old) is the lead female character. She is a student who works a part-time job and has an easy-going personality.
She accidentally kisses Kai when she meets him for the first time, and shocked to see him suddenly fall very sick, she calls the ambulance. She ends up more shocked when she sees him put his face into a dirty bucket of water used for cleaning.

The actress should possess a mix of cuteness and strength, capable of expressing a wide range of emotions, and especially comedy. The character experiences rapid and extreme changes in emotions, so the actress should be able to show these transitions convincingly. Additionally, she should look just like a regular student, but be able to become a stunning lady with expensive clothes.
Kang MinAh, WJSN's Bona (Kim JiYeon), Chae SooBin, Girl's Day's HyeRi, and Seor InA could be a good match.
H& Entertainment / King Kong by Starship / Creative Group Ing / GOLDMEDALIST
All five actresses have demonstrated their talented acting and are well-suited for a character like YaNa. Each of them possesses the ability to portray the youthful, cute, and fiery vibes of the female lead character. Comedy and expressive acting would not be an issue for any of them, so it would be a smooth portrayal of the character without overdoing it and making viewers laugh. No need to mention that they would all bring great chemistry with the lead actor! Being a romance, it is crucial.

The Return Of "Signal" And The Questions We're Asking Heading Into Season 2
After a little over 8 years since the premiere of iconic tvN series, "Signal", it’s been announced that there will finally be a second season. Here's some questions to consider leading up to it.
Dyllan Mykel, Kpopmap Editor 4 min to read ·

tvN
One of the main appeals of most K-Dramas is their ability to wrap up a story in a singular season. Many shows can tie up loose ends, take down the bad guy, and even showcase a blossoming romance, all in the span of 16 or more episodes. However, there are some rare cases when a drama is so good that fans passionately call for a second season.
In the case of tvN fantasy thriller, “Signal”, it concluded with an open ending, leaving the option for a second season available, but never confirmed. Now, after a little over 8 years since the show’s premiere, it’s been announced that there will finally be a second season.
K-Drama enthusiasts are rejoicing left and right, as this means the story of Detectives Lee JaeHan (Choi JinWoong) and Cha SooHyun (Kim HyeSoo), along with criminal profiler, Park HaeYoung (Lee JeHoon) will continue forward.
A release date has yet to be confirmed, however, fans are ecstatic over this news. Now, it has been some time since the drama’s conclusion, so naturally viewers will be having multiple binge sessions until season two’s premiere.
And as it draws ever closer, the questions that need to be answered will only pile up higher and higher.
With that said, here’s some things to consider about the second season of “Signal”.
Will the second season have the same cast?
tvN
It’s not everyday that a K-Drama comes back for a second season. But when they do, the question of whether they’ll retain the same cast needs to be asked. In the case of “Signal”, Lee JeHoon, Kim HyeSoo, and Choi JinWoong showcased a perfect portrayal of their characters. While it would be understandable that they would be unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts, not seeing them in the second season would be akin to a criminal offense.
How much time has passed since the end of the first season?
tvN
Even in the first installment of the tvN series, we saw the characters go through various time jumps, in correlation to the cases they worked on. Although many might hope season two will start right where “Signal” left off, there’s a chance that it doesn’t and audiences are thrust right into the action several months, or even years, later.
Will Detective Lee JaeHan’s memory still be intact?
tvN
With Lee JaeHan waking up from what appears to be a coma-induced slumber, there’s reason to believe that he might not all be there. Considering common K-Drama tropes, he could very well go through a case of memory loss that would greatly hinder the golden trio’s search for justice.
Do the trio of Park HaeYoung, Cha SooHyun, and Lee JaeHan finally meet up?
tvN
This might be one of the biggest questions on audiences’ minds. Despite being separated by time, they made one hell of a team, helping one another to solve several cold cases and avenge the souls lost in the process. With the announcement of season two, fans are hoping they will finally be able to meet, face to face, making it impossible for the villains to escape the jaws of justice.
Will they still communicate with someone from the past/future?
tvN
If Park HaeYoung, Cha SooHyun, and Lee JaeHan, there would naturally be no need to communicate using the time-bending walkie-talkie. However, with the novelty of the show being centered around this concept, it seems only right that the writers will bring it back for season two. But this time, they could communicate with a totally different person.
Will the Jinyang corruption finally come to light?
tvN
The K-Drama ends with the Jinyang corruption being covered by the media. Although reporters surround an older Congressman Jang YoungChul (Son HyunJoo), it remains to be seen whether he’s received due justice for his actions. With a second season, the trio might finally take down Jang YoungChul, once and for all.
Do Cha SooHyun and Lee JaeHan finally get their happily ever after?
tvN
As with many good things, season two also needs to have an ending. And at that end, there’s an important idea to consider: will Cha SooHyun and Lee JaeHan be able to have a happy ending. While they’ll have more important issues to tackle before this, fans of the show can only hope a healthy, happy relationship is in store for the two, after so many years of painful yearning.
It hasn’t been too long since the announcement for the second season of “Signal”, but there’s so much to ponder and think about in the meantime.
Are you excited for “Signal” to finally return? What questions do you hope they answer heading into season two?
