lily Jul 24 2021 8:09 pm I've been waiting for it. Please PDnim make it fast. There's a lot of actor out there. Fighting, Bunny Bunny yohan.

mamasboy Jul 24 2021 8:04 pm There's a lot of actor there PDnim. I hope you find soon. Fighting! School 2021. I will definitely watch that drama. As long as My Kim Yohan is there.

anna Jul 23 2021 6:19 pm damn kim young dae's agency just dropped a bomb about the production company i dont think yall should want your idols to join this drama when the production team is so messy since last year

Naty Jul 23 2021 3:04 am Minchan from Verivery has the face of actor. Maybe Minchan can be the 2nd lead. He has good voice and so handsome too ? director-nim please get minchan from verivery

Hanie Jul 21 2021 10:49 pm As RUi, I think maybe perfect duo if Yohan can act with Donghan ?

Synkisa Jun 29 2021 6:25 pm Kim Yohan, fighting! Looking forward to your drama!

YukiChan Jun 23 2021 6:43 am I don't understand people who don't like the female lead. Cho Yi hyun is a good rookie actor. Just look at Hospital Playlist and Metamorphosis. Even though the lead male is an idol actor, but no one doesn't like him. Unfair

Nguyễn Huyền Trang Jun 20 2021 9:03 pm Please cast school 2021 : chani sf9 and kim ji soo

YuemikoSuzuhara Jun 17 2021 1:11 pm Possible candidates for female: •Lee Ruby •Jung Da Eun(2001) •Park Jung Yeon •Shin Eun Soo •Kim Yang Gi(this girl is one of the powerhouse of LOTTE) •Kang Mi Na •Kim Hyun Soo(if PH does not have season 4)

I hope they would release this series before 2021 end cause I want to see, how could they use the modern society as a reference to execute this school series. Lastly if you want to guess what theme are going to use in next season. It would be related to pandemic.

Code Orion Jun 12 2021 12:43 pm Please go all out on the female lead!!! You can't have a mediocre actress with such a powerful cast~

liveloveM Jun 12 2021 9:32 am Please cast Anna Lee from Penthouse

Fera Jun 10 2021 5:15 am I'm really looking forward to this drama, I'm really excited

Shawty Jun 08 2021 8:50 am I can't believe kim young dae chose this role over the one with seo hyun jin... Like WTF????

Risyacha Jun 07 2021 2:55 am Shouldn't kim youngdae who has more experience become the lead instead of kim yohan?

Keivo Bal Jun 04 2021 10:10 pm Jung Jiso and Jo Soo Min for the main cast. Please

o Jun 03 2021 10:25 am kim sohyun

Aika Jun 02 2021 6:44 am Please cast Kim Hyun Soo for female lead...this school drama will be a success with Kim Hyun Soo as a pair for Kim Young Dae

Spacetember May 31 2021 9:05 am Hope the storyline will be better than school 2017. That one really boring.

passingbybye May 26 2021 4:21 pm so Kim Young Dae chose this project over the one with Seo Hyun Jin. Hmmmmmmmmmm

noname May 25 2021 8:47 pm can't they just make school series like school 2013, without romance and focus on friendship and daily life

Phul dung seiii May 25 2021 12:27 pm We need lead female lik Kim Yoo Jung, Jung Jiso, Jo Soomin, Kim Hye Yoon or Dabin

Jyamata ashite May 25 2021 8:15 am You cant do a school series without Kim Hye Yoon..You just cant! Please fulfill our wish of a Penthouse x Sky Castle crossover with Hye Yoon and Young Dae!

nodabs May 25 2021 7:23 am Look forward for this drama since I’ve been following School Series from 2013. Hopefully they casted Roh Jeung-eui or Jung Dabin as other main leads. Someone that from their ages also.

School2013lover May 25 2021 12:36 am I hope the 2 main leads are male like school 2013 and didn't focus on romance story but focus on school isusses like school 2013, cus im kinda disappointed on school 2015 and 2017 :(

tanjiro kamado May 25 2021 12:01 am I hope Shin Se Hwi or Ji Woo

junggumza May 24 2021 10:52 pm New 'actor' to be outshines by my Baeksang Rookie Nominee boy

aky May 24 2021 9:46 pm wow this character really suits yohan so well !! real life yohan was also a national taekwondo player then had an ankle injury and ended up quitting taekwondo so i understand why they casted him tbh and im looking forward to this!

Chaenielee May 12 2021 7:55 pm I believed that they changed the story from a former taekwando player Kim Tae Jin to Joo Do bin (Kim Yohan). A hardworking student who takes on work and school at the same time and achieves his dream job after learning about love and friendship.

Kim Yohan as Joo Do bin (ML) Kim Young dae as ? (2nd ML) Jo Yihyun as ? (FL)

This will be broadcast on November 2021.

confirmed cast May 01 2021 8:35 pm Kim Yo-Han as Kim Tae-Jin Jo Yi-Hyun as Na Geum-Young Kim Young-Dae as ???? ???? as Kim Yoo-Jung (hopefully wjsn eunseo)

Natasha ~ Apr 24 2021 8:54 am Some salty fans in the comment section dragging down Yohan.

Evil laughter*

Guess what?

Yohan's Still The Lead. You guys can continue to sulk all you want, but pretty much everyone else is supporting him. His acting in A Love So Beautiful was well loved by many. Please, I beg you, continue to be angry, it'll make our day since haters are spending so much of their time hating on him. Isn't that such a waste? Your misery is our happiness.

Have a most unpleasant day.

Ps. Sincerely, thank you for making us happy by making yourselves unhappy. There is no greater joy in life than unhappy haters.

Ha ji so Mar 27 2021 4:48 am They should offer Min Seol Ah From Penthouse

Ivanna Mar 26 2021 6:15 am I just finished watching ALSB ang I loved Kim Yohan's acting for his role ❤ New fan. Happy to know that I can look forward to a new drama soon with him as the male lead again ??

Ramela Mar 18 2021 5:04 am I really can't wait like since 2020 find cast naaa Buy either ways Bae Suzy is a great cast

Dalancy Mar 17 2021 10:54 pm A lot of people are saying that you should cast kim hyun soo and kim young dae as main leads and not going to lie I really like them too. But I think that they are very consistent of casting kim yo han as main lead because he is very suited for the character kim tae-jin as because he was a taekwondo player. But of course I do really want the two to have a drama together I think they will do so well. But this drama is for my kim yo han. It wouldn't be right for someone else to take his character because kim yo han waited and wanted to take on this role. Well looking forward to this great drama!!

Happiness Mar 02 2021 11:49 pm Waaah, after 4years!!!!!! Waiting for new casts!!!!

Awi ka rei Mar 01 2021 12:31 pm We need Penthouse female cast Min Seol Ah, Bae Rona, Jenni, Eun Byeol & Seok Kyung

jsy Feb 26 2021 3:38 pm Kinda excited for this because Im a convert fan of actor Kim Yohan. He made the lead male role on ALSB actually more likeable than the original! It's hard to make a jerk-role warm and charming! The School series has always favored casting drama newbies or those with just some experience under their belt and they all and up having good careers eventually (a recent exception is Kim So hyun who was already well known when 2015 came out) so I expect to see fresh faces for 2021 as well.

And in light of recent events, I hope they don't cast anyone with a shady school past in any of the roles.

SukRo Couple Feb 26 2021 2:44 pm Kim Hyun Soo and Kim Young Dae as lead female and lead male pleaseee

Lee Feb 24 2021 8:04 pm I hope kbs will cast kim hyun soo & kim young dae as a couple in this school 2021

Risa Feb 24 2021 6:12 pm Kim hyun soo as female lead please

Lol Feb 23 2021 12:48 am KYH's acting is not that great is ALSB probably because that is how the male lead is like? He's acting the same as the chinese version of the drama and I think he acts well. I do agree that they should not cast people based on their popularity but that is what will bring the ratings of the drama up. Honestly, I don't mind if he's casted for this because I want to know if can go beyond his comfort and show us a new side of him. Also, I don't think they will pick Kim So Hyun because she previously played in School 2015.

Anastashia Feb 22 2021 7:46 am Yo~han u can make it,and am cheering you up,looking forward for your matured role,godbless you always??

Go Eunbyeol Feb 22 2021 1:48 am Please have kim so hyun

ner Feb 21 2021 6:11 am i dont understand why production team of school 2021 being really persistent on casting Yohan as the male lead... his acting as the main actor in ALSB is not that good tbh. his expression, energy & the way he talk is really frustrating/disappointing like urghhh.

as a KBS's School drama fan, if he's acting is not improving & causes the dwfall of School drama, idk what to say. Casting an actor based on his/her popularity but then they cannot deliver quality performance sucks btw :/

HOPING FOR A GREAT FEMALE LEAD, GREAT SECOND LEAD AND GREAT SUPPORTING ACTOR/ACTRESS SO THIS DRAMA CAN BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE OTHER SCHOOL SERIES!!!

Mally Feb 20 2021 2:47 pm The drama penthouse hits because there’s bae rona (Kim hyun soo) and Kim youngdae (Kim seokhoon)

Halin Feb 20 2021 2:44 pm I hope the female lead would be Kim Hyun soo from the penthouse school 2021 would be hits if Kim hyun soo,Kim young dae and Kim yohan

Ashley H Baek Feb 18 2021 11:02 am Please have Kim Hyun Soo from Penthouse to play the role! She is the one who plays Bae Ro Na and she and Young Dae have said that they want to do a romantic comedy together!

Lalalalalal Feb 18 2021 9:56 am Kang Hyewon from Izone is so perfect to be a female lead at that drama

Chaeyoung Feb 18 2021 5:42 am Please give the lead female role for hong yeon from mr queen a.k.a chae so eun

Bila ju Feb 18 2021 1:44 am Min Seol Ah from Penthouse please..and also maybe from True Beauty too

Safia Feb 15 2021 4:54 am how about seok kyung from penthouse for the female lead ? or maybe girl with lee do hyun on 18 again who play the younger version of the mom

Yeyeisme Feb 15 2021 4:47 am Female lead shin ye eun please!

Wew Feb 14 2021 6:01 pm Since the female lead do not confirm yet, here my suggestion, it will be better if you put soo jin from true beauty.

N Feb 12 2021 10:15 pm Kang Min-ah or Soo A from true beauty pleaseeeee.

sesey Feb 09 2021 12:15 am Jo soo min for the female lead pls

-Text-MARKer- Jan 26 2021 11:52 am I don't think the Storyline is the best from the School Storys [2013, 2015...], but i think it still will be good!

Ms frank Jan 26 2021 6:24 am School 2015 will always be the best for me, this school 2021 storyline is not so interesting

kimyohaniiiie Jan 25 2021 8:27 am kim saeron pls as female lead! i really miss her acting! saeron and yohan surely will suit this drama :)))

- May 13 2020 9:32 am i was so excited about this drama, but i heard it's cancelled? damn i hope you guys can make a new one :(

Yona May 11 2020 2:16 am Dear KBS,

   Hello KBS Drama team,I would like to request you something.I’m a fan of School Series and also become to be a fan of Kim Yohan. When SBS announced “School 2020” will cast with Kim Yohan, I was so excited and looking forward to it. Believe me, it is not only me.At first, Drama was scheduled to be aired in August. I know that KBS will no longer air the drama for some cases, I’m wondering the drama is totally canceled or still can be air by other station? Or the production also stopped? There are lot of Kim Yohan fans across many countries, as a prove he even got rank 1 in the survival show of produce x101. Also School Drama is famous. I’m definitely sure, it will be a hit . It’d be sorry to lose such a chance. Please confirm the date of air or announce the something related to “School 2020” drama whether it is canceled or not, we(fans) need clarification. We need to prepare to support for our idols. 
  Please kindly consider about it and I hope all the program of KBS may become more successful. Thank you for always giving us happiness through many dramas and program. Have a nice day !

With best wishes, Yona

Nena May 03 2020 12:51 am I will. To watch it for Yo Han is a cast member. Guy should just stick to singing.

Arya Apr 26 2020 8:57 pm Just let kim so hyun cast again it will be a perfect that's it

sxph Apr 18 2020 3:34 pm i don't think it's been cancelled completely (at least not yet), i think they've only announced that kbs won't air it. maybe they can find another station willing to take it on

jessi Apr 15 2020 5:28 pm it's officially cancelled. im so sad bec i really want to see kim sae ron doing main role in small screen again and im looking forward to kim yohan's acting debut but bec of the casting controversy between the staff and ahn seo hyun, this drama has been cancelled. :(

Love Apr 04 2020 9:00 pm I can't wait for this!!!!!!!

Amalina Apr 01 2020 5:03 am Arghhh!!! Cannot wait this k drama ??

Choding Mar 23 2020 9:34 pm yessss yohan and saeron i support~~!!! they are only one year different that really matches with each other xDDD

K-lover Mar 21 2020 11:39 am Sae-Ron I’m looking forward to this drama hope u consider the offer positive #kimcouple

Yupi Mar 21 2020 7:59 am Kim yohan hwaiting!!!

Honey Mar 21 2020 1:15 am Kim Saeron!!!! ? ? ? I can't wait!!

Luna Mar 21 2020 12:58 am I like that it is Kim Saeron that would play the female lead. At least she's considering the offer and I hope she really accept the offer. She's a great actress and I think she would look great with Kim Yohan.

Dina K Mar 20 2020 11:23 pm I hope jaemin or jeno will be the second lead male pliss . . .

DD. Mar 20 2020 3:42 pm OMO imagine if Somi was cast in the drama. She has the potential and does taekwondo too. Imagine her actual father running the karaoke place like in the description as well. Would defs watch

gl Mar 20 2020 3:37 pm Imagine if Somi got casted, we’re in for a taekwondo treat hehe

Lah Mar 20 2020 1:40 pm I really like kim sae ron, but I think she doesn't match the main leader, I will follow him for his acting skills

anna Mar 20 2020 9:38 am please, i hope there is no kiss scene here because they are too young for this besides, they will be uncomfortable with each other since they in 19-20 age. and, are they main or lead, who are the main actor, because lead actor never have kiss scene right.

luv Mar 20 2020 5:54 am Shin Yuna or Shin Ryujin of ITZY plss cast them as second lead female..

Ela Malasan Mar 20 2020 2:27 am I wan Kim Sae Ron to be a female lead

sassygirl989 Mar 19 2020 1:49 pm thank you pd-nims for hearing my wish that kim sae ron be offered the lead role!!!!!! I really hope she confirms!!!! and pls pd-nim could you also add nam da reum to the cast maybe as a 2nd lead. i would love to see a love triangle among yohan, sae ron and da reum <3

Lalin Mar 15 2020 2:19 am Kim hyunsoo please, it's been awhile she in drama

Sha sha sha Mar 11 2020 11:20 am I want Kim Sae Ron to play the lead alongside. She will add value to the project and she definitely will nail her role with her incredible acting experience. Please consider Kim Sae Ron.

Coco Feb 28 2020 2:18 am Yes kim sae ron

Put Feb 24 2020 9:53 am I hope Kim hyang gi the lead female

Fan Feb 16 2020 7:10 am Would love to see kim sae Ron in this!! She'd be awesome and I want her popularity to rise! Loved her in leverage and I don't want her gone for too long again!

TeobokkiLuvs Feb 11 2020 9:25 am Shin Ye Eun (1998), Kim Hye Yoon, (1996) or Jung Chae Yeon (1997) would fit the role of Na Geum Young! Casting Directors please consider them.

Ahn Seo Hyun is good too but her age is a little too young, it would be weird for the audiences to see if in a kissing scene with the male lead since she is still a minor in middle school.

Preferably someone the same age as Yohan or older would be better since Yohan looks more mature than his actual age.

Jojo Feb 11 2020 8:53 am I hope Kim Hye Yoon acts alongside with Kim Yohan instead, Ahn Seo Hyun is an awesome actress but she is a little too young. Besides, Hye Yoon will fit the School 2020 Series character so well. She is a wonderful actress and i am sure tons of fans would love to see her in School 2020.

Ara Jones Feb 09 2020 6:05 am I hope Ahn Seo Hyun accept it... She's an awesome actress... Who are we to judge who fits with who... If u dont like it,, dont watch it.. Simple.

aishah Feb 07 2020 1:19 am i think ahn seohyun dont suit the lead actress cuz she is to young . i think lee soo min (2001) suit the school vibes and the are many actress that is same age with yohan such as kim saeron , mina , naeun

jodi Feb 06 2020 7:21 pm is it true that jeongyeon has also been offered the lead role?

Uma Feb 05 2020 5:30 am Im soo exited can't wait to watch it

Mafu Feb 04 2020 6:28 pm So excited about this kk~ why the role so fit for Yohannie? Kk

Choi soora Feb 04 2020 11:06 am Cant waiitt aaakk yohan-ah hwaiting!

Shi Feb 04 2020 5:08 am I can't wait!!

LoveJoy Feb 03 2020 11:48 pm I am so happy both leads are my favvv
