Okay, this is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever indulged in. But I'm on book 3 of Twilight, and I found a thread about this on crunchy roll.
Things of note;
1. This is stupid
2. Twilight is not a very good series. It's not exactly BAD, either. But I'm not a huge fan.
3. The entire idea of creating an asian version of something purely because, apparently, being asian would make it better and SPARKLY-ER is weaboo on a ridiculous level that brings tears to my eyes. But, seeing as I'm not into many young American actors (mainly just older ones) I mind as well indulge, right? But an asian Twilight adaption, be it Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, whatever, would likely be no improvement upon the American film, if not even worse.
Edward -
I didn't even have to spare any thought on this one. Granted, I have no idea if he can act, but I don't know if any of these can, and this is based purely on who has the right LOOK for the characters. He gives off the mysterious vampire vibe, but like Edward, he seems a bit quirky. He has the MUSCLES to be Emmett, rofl, but no. He's very, very pale naturally and he just has that other worldly type of good looks. I can't describe it, I'm not even a huge fan of his, but yeah. A lot of people said Yamapi, but I dunno. I know for a fact that the only character Yamapi can play is Yamapi - stoic, handsome, doesn't talk but is constantly on screen due to good looks. Completely monotone delivery of all speech. Anyway, this is not even a good photo representation of Jaejoong, but it will do.
Bella -
Oh my god, too much thought had to go into this one : | People kept making predictable choices, like Horikita Maki and Erika Toda, aka the actressses NO ONE CAN ESCAPE. Anyway. I finally decided on this girl - yeah, I know, most of us know her as the utter psycho, homicidal bitch of LIFE, but she can act very well, and I feel she has the right kind of look. I also fangirl her pretty heavily, but that's unrelated. And Bella CERTAINLY has her moments of psycho XD;;
Jacob -
Yeah, this one came to mind pretty instantly. He can look annoyingly boyish and adorable, and then insanely handsome and sdjfhfdghfk. He's also an ABNORMALLY TALL FREAK (it's okay, ilu longnoodle. Yeah, NO I WON'T STOP CALLING HIM THAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CHANG MIAN OKAY.) at, what, 6'4? He also looks a lot better with long hair than Jaejoong (who should never, ever, ever do that again. EVER.)
Alice -
Even I can't escape her, God. Even though I don't think she is a good enough actress to be as famous as she is, she can't really help how much she appeals to people. She's not a bad actress and I really do think she could play the character well.
Jasper -
There's basically no way for me to prove I'm not biased on this one. I'm pretty much his biggest fangirl. Ever. Really, it's quite sad, but whatev, I'm 14, I have an excuse. At first, I was torn between him and Nino (ironic, as many compare them, due to both of them being... young, talented actors with a slight resemblance and attitude? I don't know, I don't get it either.) but I realized Nino, while a VERY good actor, just does not fit the image of a vampire. Nope, not one iota. Now, Kibum. . .
Emmett -
Well, he certainly has the muscle! He's very, very handsome and he has the loveable, somewhat doofy quality your Emmett needs. He really does seem the 'big brother' type. He's an okay actor, too. Not great, but he has a knack for it.
Rosalie -
Okay, I don't even know if this chick is acting anymore. I assume it's probably pretty difficult to continue a career after the scandal she brought upon herself (now, I feel Japanese celebs get too much flack, but being a pure bitch in public, well, I WILL say that people deserve to a lessening in popularity due to that)
Either way, she's very pretty in a rather striking way, much like Rosalie, and I am POSITIVE she could play a bitch XD;; Honestly, the most thought went into this selection! I honestly could not think of a single girl both pretty enough, with the right look, and old enough to play Rosalie! But I decided on one Sawajiri Erika.
