I agree with you he needs main lead roles and would do well with arrogant haughty roles like CEO, vampire, etc (S Line was such a poor story). His voice is such pure perfection too. I do think he sometimes has looked like he was on drugs or something in some of his Instagram stories which is worrying. Hope he is doing okay and gets better roles, his agency needs to focus on that instead of fan signings for 12 hours which is overwork.

I love her but some of her ML's have been meh, hope the chemistry is good here!

Why lie so blatantly about being "impartial?" Just hilarious because you have three comments on this page just trying to defend him. He looks old and wasn't right for the part, that is my opinion and I don't have to be impartial because opinions aren't facts.

Lee Won Jung is so pretty, he deserves ML roles. Right now the ML for this project seems a bit dull compared to the main actresses who are charming.

Exactly, the criticism was warranted and casting directors should make better choices. FL already looks younger than her age so the creepiness was higher.

He did look like a teacher and the FL's father rather than a student and he shouldn't have been cast. I really liked him in other projects (he did excellent in No Mercy) but this role left a bad taste. The other cast FL and SML do look high school aged and the casting should look the same.

He's so handsome, what a beautiful face! Hope he gets more ML roles, he has such charm in Fangs of Fortune and Moonlit Reunion even with small roles.

So the drama itself is terrible, terrible idea, terrible execution. The rating is for the fact that Lee Soo Hyuk is a male god with his handsome face and perfect voice. Then Arin looks and acts so well and finally Lee Da Hee needs a better femme fatal role she is exquisite. Lee Eun Seom needs to find range because bratty teenager has gotten boring. Oh and Arin's friends were both great new additions.

Dropped at the second mystery sequence as MLs are great but FL is written so poorly it makes me mad (mentally ill over a dead guy then obsesssed then helpless damsel then mentally magically ok etc).

I love this FL in Guardians of Dafeng and her role here. Also love the demons group, cat and snake working together, such a refreshing thing for women to be friends and support each other.

So excited for this, she is so good in everything she does!

Yeah, I am in agreement with you over the fact that he looks like the ML's father or uncle rather than a high schooler and then has a crush on her so that is icky and pedofiliac. I don't like huge age gaps in general because it is almost always young girl with old guy and there are issues of grooming there as well. See Goblin.

Ok I get your perspective and agree that there is an issue with anti-Blackness in kpop (I haven't watched as many dramas with an issue but maybe there has been). I don't know the context of this show yet, but this looks like an ad from the 80s spoofing or copying Aladdin and I don't see religion here? I guess my question is are you arguing this specific representation is so bad or overall the treatment of Middle Eastern cultures? Are Koreans or East Asian not allowed to wear costumes or play Princess Jasmine (a White Disney created character) especially when Arab and India are such heavy consumers of (and haters of) kpop and k content and there is such a high fetishization of Asian women? Like this isn't as simple as you are arguing either, the power differential of Arab countries being able to buy and pay for k pop stars to play at parties or Indian to hire Soo bin for would then also be really problematic.

exactly, and they keep bringing up other casts but in True Beauty all of the cast members were within 5 years of each other and Moon Ka Young is on year older than Cha Eun Woo. They also looked like high schoolers. Here he is much older at least 10 years than the FL and other cast members and also looks like her father. They need higher standards across all media to stop encouraging grooming and pedofile behaviors and their enablers.

Who the hell are you to tell me to keep my opinion when you are out here sucking celebrity ass for free? He doesn't look good here and doesn't fit with the rest of the cast. He looks much older like their father or uncle. Unlike the other examples you gave (True Beauty), the FL and ML and SML were all in the same age range of 5 years or so in fact ML was one year younger than FL which is rare. Here the old 30 year old is paired with 20year olds, a decade of difference. A decade age gap from 30 to 20 is grooming, young adults brains don't fully develop until 25. Here whether it is psychology or ethics or anything, it is digusting and media culture stops need to doing it.

Moon Baek and many of the side characters were great (the mom who's son died, the chief who took care of ML, the high school kid). The ML lacked charisma and acting ability (he has 1.5 expressions). The story was all over the place and like the drama The Killing Vote lots of potential wasted.

He is so beautiful, especially his eyes. Hope he gets some intense main roles!

OMG I was hoping from trailer that Cha Woo Min would be ML but it says support role so that overgrown guy that looks like her father is the ML instead. UGH. What the heck is it with perverted directors doing this type of grooming/pedo casting.

You are right he looks terrible here (and was good in No Mercy, age appropriate there). Stupid pedo fans from everywhere uniting to defend grown ass looking and grown ass men playing high schooler so they can romance a teenager girl.

He is way older than the rest of the cast by a decade and looks his age. It is different when the actor can play the part but he looks like her father at best. No need to defend groomer type depictions.
