In the supernatural town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, Elena Gilbert falls for Stefan Salvatore, unaware he's a 161-year-old vampire.

If yes, who could you potentially see in majo roles. According to Reddit, here are some ideal casting choices from the Korean industry:
Kim Ji-won As Elena Gilbert
Elena Gilbert could be portrayed by Kim Ji-won, known for her roles in Descendants of the Sun and Fight for My Way. Her ability to convey emotional depth and complexity would make her a great fit for Elena's character.
Park Hyung-sik As Stefan Salvatore
The role of Stefan Salvatore could go to Park Hyung-sik, who has already showcased his charming looks and acting skills in Strong Woman Do Bong-soon. He would bring the perfect balance of brooding intensity and romantic charm to the character.
Lee Jong-suk As Damon Salvatore
Damon Salvatore, on the other hand, would be perfectly played by Lee Jong-suk, famous for his roles in While You Were Sleeping and W – Two Worlds. His charisma and charm would bring out the mischievous and darker aspects of Damon's personality.
Kim Yoo-jung As Bonnie Bennet
For Bonnie Bennett, Kim Yoo-jung would be an excellent choice, given her talent and experience in dramas like Moon Embracing the Sun. She could bring Bonnie's strength, loyalty, and determination to life.
Bae Suzy As Caroline Forbes
Lastly, Bae Suzy would be perfect as Caroline Forbes, thanks to her bubbly personality and acting skills, as seen in While You Were Sleeping. She could capture Caroline's transformation from a popular high school girl to a strong and confident vampire.
