I am assuming that SM is trying to make a Drama which will have the same hype as the JYP Dramas "Dream HIgh" and "Dream High 2". I must say they picked a great storyline to create a Korean Drama to because based on many fans of Hana Kimi, they have been waiting for a company to produce a Korean version of the manga.
An SM Representative has announced that SM Artist will be in the drama, but not everyone will be in it. The two leads have already been confirmed as SHINee's Minho as Kang Tae Joon and F(x)'s Sulli as Goo Jae Hee.
