Moon Ga Young to possibly star with ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo in the upcoming drama "True Beauty," according to the news.
On the 23rd, it was reported that the female actress she will be playing as the female lead of the well-acclaimed webtoon, "True Beauty." The K-pop idol and actor, Cha Eunwoo, was recently announced to be the male lead of the series.
Meanwhile, according to KeyEast Entertainment, Moon Ga Young's label, she has been offered to cast as the lead star in the upcoming tvN drama and that she might accept the role.
After it was confirmed earlier that Cha Eun Woo is playing the lead character in the webtoon-based TV series, a discourse whether Moon Ga Young fits the role or not erupted online, with some suggesting other female stars. Some claimed that BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Red Velvet's Irene match the qualities of Cha Eun Woo's leading lady.
Other netizens also said that Moon Ga Young is someone unexpected and doesn't meet their expectation for the female lead.
"I'm sorry, but she doesn't even look young enough to be Jugyeong, and I'm not sure about her looks either. Not [hating] or anything. I'm just giving my honest thoughts as a fan of the webtoon," said one netizen.
But on the flip side, a lot of online users said that the role really fits Moon Ga Young. The K-drama actress's fans are rooting for her and think she's a great pick, basing her credibility on her previous dramas.
"Moon Ga Young as the female lead in True Beauty joining Cha Eun Woo!! They choose the right person!!" One fan wrote.
"K-pop stans, before you say something rude about Moon Ga Young, watch any of her works, and you'll see how great of an actress she is," another netizen said.
"Cha Eun Woo and Moon Ga Young confirmed as the main leads in new drama #TrueBeauty is the best news I've heard this morning. A new visual K-drama couple is coming!" Exclaimed an excited online user.
"True Beauty" is about a young lady who fears being caught without wearing makeup. Only one man knows her bare face, and a love story blossoms between the two. ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo will play as Lee Su Ho while Moon Ga Young may portray Im Joo Kyung.
