The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

[Crazy! All the concept photos look so good! How come the cast looked exactly like the characters in my imagination?]

[Lucas is seriously just Caesar Warwick.]

[They did good picking him. His looks aside, his acting is also already verified. So, we can be sure that he would do justice to the role.]

[Chelsea seems to also be stepping up her game. Isn’t this not her usual pure and sweet role?]

[Maybe she wanted to challenge herself? She’s an actress, she couldn’t just be trapped in one kind of role.]

[Lance, on the other hand, will be playing the same kind of character again. LOL.]

[Well, no one can deny that he’s a very effective villain.]

[Speaking of Lance Reid, shouldn’t there be a scandal appearing right about now involving him and some newcomer in the cast? That’s his M.O., right?]

.....

[LOL M.O.? What is he, a serial killer?]

[Not a serial killer, but a serial playboy.]

[It’s true though. It’s weird that there’s no scandal about him when his new show would air next week.]

[Maybe the paparazzi’s just haven’t gotten a whiff of it?]

[Or maybe Director Scott told him to keep his thing in his pants.]

[Upstairs had a point. This was Director Scott’s comeback project. Would he dare to have it ruin by a scandal?]

[Yeah, Director Scott is known for being very hands-on during the production process. There’s no way he would allow variables that could ruin this show to appear.]

[But didn’t he already do that by casting two newcomers as part of the main cast?]

[Newcomers? Are you talking about Yujin Wells and Astrid Townsend?]

[Who else? Both of them are pretty new in the industry and yet they have already been casted in such a big production. And in major roles too.]

[Maybe their company paid for it. LOL.]

[That could certainly be the case. One was from Kaleido and the other from Polaris. It’s not too farfetched.]

[Hey, don’t speak about Yujin that way! Although he’s a newcomer, he had proven himself enough. He had entered top 500 of the Star List just a few months after his debut. And with his momentum right now, he would definitely be able to enter top 100 by the end of this year.]

[His acting is pretty good too. I’m just not sure if he can actually play the playboy character.]

[Yeah, I can’t actually see it because of how gentle he looks.]

[Instead of worrying whether Yujin Wells would do well or not, you should worry about the other one. At least, I know who Yujin Wells is. But I have no idea who the other one is.]

[I also don’t know him, to be honest. And the fact that he would play my favorite character scares me shitless.]

[I actually only know him from watching <The Sleeping God>. He’s quite good there even though he didn’t have that much screen time. It’s still worrying though since Luan Escanor is also my favorite character from <The Great War>.]

[At least you saw him acting. I only saw him from a clip from that show, <Baby’s Day-Off>. Which I only happened to see because of that scandal about the Thornleys.]

[I’m not a fan of Astrid Townsend, but I both saw <The Sleeping God>, as well as the episode of <Blind Justice> where he appeared as a guest. Both characters were very different but he played them quite well. At least, I’m sure that he can act.]

[Even if he can act, it doesn’t mean that the character actually suits him.]

[True. I actually think that Yujin Wells fit the image of Luan Escanor better. If they’re going to use a newcomer, why not just pick him instead? I’m sure he’d do a great job.]

[Right? I’m also thinking the same! How great would it be if Yujin actually played Luan Escanor?]

[Hey, what does that even mean? How can you be so sure that Astrid can’t do it? Please, don’t judge so quickly.]

[Are you people all blind? Didn’t you see the concept photo? Astrid literally embodied Luan Escanor by simply standing there and smiling! Imagine what else could he do if we saw him in motion?]

[I’m a die-hard fan of the novel and I can honestly say that the moment I saw Astrid Townsend’s concept photo, all I can think about was ‘yes, this is my Luan’. Didn’t you all feel it?]

[Me too! I think I’ve never saved a concept photo as fast as I did when I saw his. The fact that he can show Luan’s nature just by using minimal movements proved that he understood the character perfectly. That’s why I support this casting choice.]

[What feeling? What support? Are you all being paid by Polaris for saying this shit? It’s a fact that Astrid Townsend still lacked the qualification to be a major cast of a big production like this.]

[What qualification? So, are you saying that Astrid should continue to play small roles just because he’s a rookie? Does he have to wait five years for you to say that he’s qualified? Astrid has talent. It doesn’t matter whether he’s new to the industry or not. Talent like his shouldn’t be buried just because of that.]

[Hey, you people are forgetting something very important. Director Scott was not the only one who chose these actors to play these roles. Pink Peach also had a say over who’s going to play who. Do you really think someone who refused to make an adaptation of her work for years would allow just anybody to play her characters? As her fan, I thoroughly support these choices!]

[Me too! Pink Peach would definitely not sabotage her own masterpiece!]

[In Pink Peach we trust.]

Same kinds of comments, positive as well as negative, filled the comment section of the post.

Astrid just read a few and then he reposted it along with a comment of his own.
