Netizens create a virtual cast of SM's Korean adaptation drama of "Hana Kimi"

SM Entertainment announced that they would be producing the Korean adaptation of the Japanese manga "Hana Kimi" on March 10th. The topic has gotten many fans excited and even resulted in "Hana Kimi" trending on Twitter a few minutes after announcements.
Netizens began to make their own virtual cast of the upcoming drama.

"Hana Kimi" has already received hot reactions in Taiwan and Japan with their live adaptation of the drama in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The storyline of "Hana Kimi" is about a girl who enters an all-boy high school disguised as a male.

This announcement from SM Entertainment follows the successful ending of the JYP Entertainment produced idol drama "Dream High." Netizens have been speculating that the majority of the Korean "Hana Kimi" cast will be portrayed by SM artists since the company will be in charge of producing it.

A SM Entertainment representative has said regarding the cast, "There will be SM artists casted in the drama, but not everyone will be included."

Netizens have listed the possibilities of the following SM idol cast:
