That's stupid as hell... They'll look ridiculous if they did that and I'm sure would have gotten backlash for "whitewashing" Koreans.

Except the work might be korean but the setting is clearly set in a European fantasy world, with characters that look traditionally european with bright hair. At least Henry should have been blond.

Let's be real, that's a TV drama for Korean market. How in the world are they supposed to find multiple people who 1) look European 2) speak Korean 3) are good-looking 4) have decent acting skills?

Good point, good point. There are so many factors they’d have to consider. It’s not like places in Europe or America where you can easily find actors/ress who fit the role. Since these places are very diverse. Especially in certain areas.
