[Cast Away] A psychometric marries his enemy to foil her plans

Don’t you just hate it when you’re short a few million dollars to produce a drama with your dream team of actors, writers, and directors? *pouts* Well, we found a way to scratch that itch!

In the Dramabeans community series Cast Away, Beanies can advocate for their chosen actors and creatives in imaginary roles.

How it works: We share a [very] hypothetical K-drama plot with you, and in the comments, you discuss who you think is the perfect cast to play the roles in this imaginary show.

You can also go wild and introduce more characters, rename the show, pick your favorite director, etc. Who knows? Maybe our collective wishing will manifest fantasy casting into reality.

This week’s K-drama plot: a psychometrist versus a time-traveling historian

A psychometric nobleman from Joseon encounters a “crazy” woman who thinks in gibberish. Upon closer reading, he realizes she’s a time-traveler trying to take down the powerful Andong Kim clan. (That’s practically treason!) He’ll need to use psychometry to unveil her plot, but his powers only work by touching a person’s hair…

Conversely, a historian wakes up to find herself in Joseon and figures she might as well fix the bad parts of it — starting with the corrupt ruling class. This must be the reason why she’s here, right? Because why else would she bump into a member of the Andong Kim clan and why else would he readily ask to marry her? Never mind that he keeps patting her head like she’s a puppy.

Who’s your fantasy casting pick for this contract marriage, time travel, AND enemies-to-lovers story between two nerds from different eras? Are they outwardly cold and inwardly warm or the other way around?

Who will play the gossiping servants who are very happy that the young master finally took an interest in something other than books?

But most importantly, which shampoo brand do you think will get PPL rights and how would they incorporate it into this fusion sageuk?

As always, you can introduce more characters or switch the genders around. ~~This doesn’t have to be a romance if you don’t want it to be.~~ This week is definitely a romance-centric plot, but you can wrestle it towards a different genre with your casting choices.

Feel free to request a plot line for future Cast Away posts. We’ll do our best to serve a fun twist on it.
