Lee Jong Suk has that cheeky and boyish look perfect for playing the fun-loving Li Zi Wei, but he can also be a brooding hot guy like Wang Quan Sheng.
Park Seo Joon as Mo Jun Jie

Park Seo Joon also has monolids like Patrick Shih and we can certainly see him playing the role of Mo Jun Jie, a sweet and shy guy who cares for his crush in little ways.
NU'EST Minhyun as Mo Jun Jie

Another favourite is NU'EST Minhyun, who once sang a cover of Someday or One Day's theme song. Aren't the similarities uncanny?
Park Shin Hye as Huang Yu Xuan/Chen Yun Ru

Playing both Huang Yu Xuan and Chen Yun Ru will not be an easy feat but we foresee Park Shin Hye nailing it with all the experience she has gained since starting out as a child actress.
IU as Huang Yu Xuan/Chen Yun Ru

Singer and actress IU has been proving her acting skills in dramas such as Hotel del Luna and we can totally see her pulling off the role of both Huang Yu Xuan and Chen Yun Ru.
Take note that these are just what netizens are hoping for and the official cast for the Korean remake of Someday or One Day has not been finalised yet. Who else do you wish to see as the main cast of the drama?
