Lee Chae Min isn't just "good looking" co-star. He's good actor who worked hard for many years to get such offers. And if you read synopsis, it's not romcom drama but adaptation of famous japan novel with very interesting plot.
Looking at your comment, neither you read synopsis and what this drama about, neither you know anything about Lee Chae Min except his "pretty face".
I really dislike such type of fans, why can't you hype up KHY without downgrading her co-star, who did nothing wrong and who's acting skills are good.

Lee Chae Min is literally new actor. You couldn't see him in everything, it's first project he accepted after Tyrant's chief.

SBS has a contract with Netflix, so 100% it is

Now I understood "white mafia" meaning. Interesting

Try to imagine german actor praising german soldiers during World war II and saying he's respecting his grandpa participating in it.

I think comparing some rude or stupid joke/phrase about person of some nation with actor praising World war II japan soldiers is on completely different levels. For example I won't feel much feelings if someone in Germany would make some prejuce joke about a person of my nation. But I surely will feel frustrated if some german actor would praise their World War II soldiers and say how he proud of his grandpa participating in it. The same I would feel towards people of my nation compliment war criminals in my country. It's different cases, and weird of you to use this moment to call it "contradiction".
Especially of you talking like korean who angry at this japanese actor is the same korean who made comments of being okay with poor quality product.
You seriously talking like people from Korea commenting on different topics are the same, as if they are one big organism.
Ptobably it wasn't intentional, but this is how it looks.
It's like one person would say "This person A is lookist towards koreans" and you would say "Well, I saw some korean comments being lookist towards others, I assume you're one of them just because you're from Korea, so not for you to criticise others, take it as contradiction"

Stop being rude, I'm not watching gay hentai, I literally wrote "this comment is a joke".
I know why Jun Seo did what he did but I dislike last 4 episodes of this drama as they stopped following webtoon, many things make little sense to me (Jae Oh sacrificing himself like that, it was stupid at the first place). Webtoon plot made more sense to me, but I don't want discuss drama's plot with a person who starting conversation talking with me like that.

I read a comment:
"And Jun Seo is hysterical at the end. The feeling that Jae Oh was his secret love (we don't blame him, everyone was rooting for him), Jun Seo couldn't stand such an end for Jae Oh and went off the rails taking revenge on everyone and everything."
This comment is a joke, but it's funny imagine and I actually like this version more.

At least it explains while Jun Seo started to act like that right after Jae Oh's de*th and blamed A Jin

I didnt expect romance, I read webtoon. 8-12 episodes has nothing to do with canon, they literally rewrote everything, all characters and their ending, including A Jin.
I personally prefer webtoon version of a story, and I think some webtoon fans (my guess majority) felt the same way.

Oh yeah, Jun Seo is bad and coward after every sh*t A Jin did to him lmao.
Telling him about his father just to shake his mental state, waiting until he gets drunk to sleep with him (if she was a man it would be treated like se*ual assault) and to get pregnant just to fool another person.
Don't forget how Jun Seo heard A Jin conversation with his mother where A Jin threatened his mother to drove Jun Seo till su*cide.
She did that to a person who trusted her, and after all he did for her. And only after all this sh*t and how A Jin used him he decided to revenge. If you didn't notice in webtoon situations with bad owner and idol boyfriend already made Jun Seo rethink his choices, and when Jun Seo become next A Jin victim it was his last straw.
But of course Jun Seo is a bad man, a coward etc etc, and A Jin poor uwu victim.
Author of webtoon didn't excuse A jin, they clearly wrote A Jin as manipulative sociopath without excusing her actions towards others. They didn't romantise her. You do, you excuse her, because you can't comprehend complex female character who isn't good person. And you do it just because she's a woman, as she always need to be irresponsible for anything she did, someone else to blame.
I swear, y'all guys insufferable, no matter how complex female character or what kind of bad things she doing y'all can't comprehend it and making her damsel in distress, victim of cirtumstances.
Dorama probably was rewritten to make A Jin more and more a victim of everyone around her (even bar owner forgave her in a drama, while author of webtoon wrote opposite) for such kind of audience, as y'all wouldn't comprehend her character with more heartless personality and some of her actions as irredemable.

8-12 episodes has nothing to do with webtoon at all.
They rewrote everything, all characters.

8-12 episodes has nothing to do with webtoon at all.
They rewrote everything, all characters.
They could fit webtoon plot and ending in those 4 episodes.
So I don't think short screentime is a problem.

You said how easy it is to be a man under article about LEE CHAE MIN and his achievements, and said young actresses don't get the same privilege after hit drama as a man. How stupid of me to think you meant Lee Chae Min, right?
Your comment definetily has nothing to do with article about him, lol.
I said you're bitter, you called me male obsessed loser, you're the one who need to BE FOR REAL!
Of course you're done, you still have nothing to answer on question "What kind of privilege Lee Chae Min got any actress with 15% ratings drama didn't get?". One answer with any name would quickly shut me up, but you have nothing to answer on it. So instead of answering you saying I'm wrong to think you meant Lee Chae Min.
Okay.

I didn't compare their acting skills as this is subjective opinion based on your personal feelings, how convincing is their acting to you personally.
However, I think Lee Chae Min was good in Hiearachy, despite drama had terrible script his acting didn't get any criticism from me. He played complex character who's personality changed accourding to script mood at this moment, I guess, and Lee Chae Min was good there. I saw potential in him to be a bigger actor in a future. And he was very good in Bon Apetit, watching this drama I wouldn't guess Lee Chae Min was added in last minute and had less than a month to prepare and learn multiple skills for a king role. Zero criticism from me, I don't have any scene in which I saw his acting was weak in Bon apetit.
What about actresses I mentioned, I think Moon Ga Young is very good, she's talented actress who have chemistry with all her cast members and can play both in thriller and romcoms genres. However, I have mixed emotions about her future drama. I'm a fan of Whale star webtoon, and I think main lead actors are miscasts for the characters they will play. I'm not sure Mon Ga Young will be good in portraying Sua's character.
Han Soo He is very good, one of the best actors when it comes to thriller, action, psychological dramas like My name, World of married or No one knows, but I'm not sure she's good in a comedic role or in a romcom, or in Gyuesong creature. She wasn't so convincing there for me. For me it seems like she can nail complex characters, but has struggles with simple characters or with weak scripts. But still I like her and anticipated for her future Netflix drama.
Go Min Si, I watched only two dramas with her and can't say much about her. In The smile has left your eyes and Sweet home her acting was very similar, like she played the same character just in different circumstances. Need to watch something else with her to judge.
Goo You Joong, I watched only Sweet home with her, but I saw edits with her in other dramas and I think she looks very different in her roles despite her hairstyle or makeup isn't changed much, she brings different energy and "vibes" according to what kind of drama she filming.
I don't know that their acting skills has to do with our topic: if even accourding to your opinion their acting better than Lee Chae Min's, all of them are famous actresses and got recognition, it's not like any of them was sidelined, so what's your point.
However, based on thjngs I wrote above my subjective opinion about their acting: Goo You Joong acting skills are better than Lee Chae Min. I'm not sure about Mon Ga Young, I need to see how she will play Sua in Whale star drama. Han So Hee nailed in a drama where she was one main lead - My name. I need to see if Lee Chae Min can act in one main lead drama, and if he would be good there, to compare them (not like I want to compare them, they both good enough for me to watch dramas with them. This is just my opinion on your comment about their acting skills).
And Go Min Si - based on dramas I watched with her and with Lee Chae Min I don't think so. Maybe they're at the same level but I don't think she's better.

You think opposite and it's okay.
See, how I can calmly say my opinion without insulting you and talking like an angry troll.

Lol, you don't have a single argument, went straight to insults and rage. "Male obsessed" - I'm not talking for all korean men but for one actor which I happened to be a fan of, and which hard work you downgrading ONLY because of his gender. Seems you don't understand the meaning of the word "sexism".
Opposite of you I talked rationally and calmly, said arguments and asked you a simple question on which you CAN'T ANSWER: what kind of privelege Lee Chae Min got any female actress with 15% ratings drama didn't get? Mind it, I didn't say drama popular because of Lee Chae Min, you need learn to read.
So, can you answer at this simple question? What kind of privilege Lee Chae Min got ANY actress who filmed in a drama with 15% ratings didn't get? After your last comment I don't expect you can rationally answer though, it seems all you can do is yapping and calling other person a names.

Han Soo Hee, Goo Yoo Jong, Go Min Si, Moon Ga Young etc etc.
1. Who of young actresses didn't get any privilege after filming in a drama with 15% ratings?
2. What kind of privilege Lee Chae Min got these actresses didn't?

I wait to see any of you comments have any information proving that without just vague phrases with using a gender as your only reason.

It's easy for any person who played main role in a drama with 17% ratings, stop being sexist.
Han Soo Hee become very popular after World of married drama despite playing second lead role there. While male lead of that drama getting supporting roles despite being good actor. Goo You Joong is the most popular in the Moving young actors cast. Your logic doesn't work.
Some people can't be happy at others success, they just need to be bitter.

Do you think any popular actor wanted to play main role in a drama with all mess and month before shooting? If they could put it in their schedule in such short time at the first place. They didn't have much choice but cast not so known actor, and despite that LCM nailed his role. And it's not the first time director hiring unknown actor on main lead role, he did it in his previous project as well. Maybe his agency played their part in it, but surprise, ALL korean agencies doing that. Without exception. This is literally their job, to get good role to their actors. This is why korean actors working through agencies at the first place. It goes to ALL actors, it's well known fact and you can see it a lot in others dramas if you know which agency has which actors. Stop downgrading actor's hard work because of that.
You can't criticise his acting skills because you know he was good and many people see it as well, despise how little time he had for preparation. So you trying to say he was good because of the role and the script, as if others actors not becoming popular through roles and scripts. Just to be bitter.
I saw drama Hierarchy with Lee Chae Min, script was terrible, but he was good there as well.
Of course actors getting recognition through good roles and popular projects, ALL actors. Of course Lee Chae Min's next project playing a big role in his career. This goes to all unknown actors after their first popular drama. But you can't help but talk bitter about it.

Don't read tags guys!
Someone put the big spoiler of the plot there.

Reading all this complaints about Lee Chae Min pissed me off. Whoever want to complain about male lead being rookie actor, thank Yoona's fans for that. They demanded replacement from production company a FEW WEEKS before shooting. They seriously thought it won't affect drama at all, and any veteran established actor would agree to film on such terms. Or maybe they didn't even thought about that, or didn't care.
Lee Chae Min actually put a lot of hard work to agree on this drama without getting any decent time for preparation, and filming it at the same time with another drama. Otherwise this drama woild be either delayed either canceled, and in both ways they would lost money on that.
So, if you want to complain to someone, don't complain about Lee Chae Min who actually worked hard despite such work conditions, don't complain about production company who was forced to make these work conditions and struggles for themselves, complain to one specific group of people who spent their time to make work harder for others, to their fave as well. And now instead of being confident in male lead with proven great acting skills we're getting rookie male lead who got the role in the last minute. And he will be the one who would get backlash from this fanbase if his acting wouldn't be convincing enough . I'm pretty sure if something goes wrong these fans will have audacity to say how their fave "caring drama on her shoulders", as if they aren't the ones who forced her to do so, and as if they aren't the ones who made work conditions for actor harder than it was.
