Friend in Need? Or Friend Indeed? How to Buy a Friend Cast Guide (Because Apparently That's a Thing)
Let's face it, making friends can be a tricky business. Sometimes, you just want to skip the whole "small talk" awkward phase and jump right into the good stuff: sleepovers, inside jokes, and someone to borrow notes from when you, uh, inevitably sleep through class (again).
That's where the quirky Korean drama "How to Buy a Friend" comes in. This show explores the question: what if you could buy friendship? Intrigued? You should be. But before you hit the black market looking for a BFF (because, trust me, that's not gonna end well), let's meet the cast of characters who navigate this hilarious and surprisingly heartwarming world of transactional friendship.
The Socially Awkward Auteur: Lee Shin-young as Park Chan-Hong
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Park Chan-Hong is our protagonist, a budding writer with a talent for words and a crippling fear of social interaction. Think of him as a teenage Eeyore, but with a killer imagination. Lee Shin-young perfectly captures Chan-Hong's awkward charm, making you want to give him a hug (and maybe a social skills manual).
The Misunderstood Moneybags: Shin Seung-ho as Heo Don-Hyeok
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Heo Don-Hyeok is the cool, mysterious type... on the surface. Scratch beneath that facade, and you'll find a guy burdened by responsibility and a tragic backstory that would make even Shakespeare weep. Shin Seung-ho brings a surprising vulnerability to this character, making you realize there's more to Don-Hyeok than meets the eye (and that designer jacket).
The Popular Powerhouse: Kim So-hye as Eom Se-Yoon (Not Technically For Sale, But Still Awesome)
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.

The Supporting Squad: A Matchmaker's Dream Team
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
This show wouldn't be complete without its stellar supporting cast. We've got quirky classmates, overbearing parents, and a whole lot of comedic relief. They're the peanut butter to the jelly, the Bert to the Ernie, the... well, you get the idea.
