we should not hate him because he's a good actor but tbh he looks very off in the uniform as he's clearly older…
UR 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.
Love the FL actress she was awesome in Twinkling Watermelon. Everything else is bad: the curly hair obession/hate, the casting of Gong Myung (who was great in No Mercy) as a high school student when he looks like her father, meh. What is going on with some of the poor casting these days.
Isn't Gong Myung a little too .....mature to be playing a high school student?
No you are absolutely right, he looks too old and like an old man. It's creepy because the FL and her crush look similarly aged. Ugh, they should look like students at least. Poor casting.
The teaser was removed, but thanks, some people uploaded it before:https://x.com/Kdramastars1/status/1958463300045300202It…
It looked like an 80s spoof of Aladdin and wasn't that bad? I don't know what it has to do with the drama (which has a great cast) but outrage over what exactly?
You might start with blaming the author Jin Yong. When Liu Yifei was cast as FL Xiao Long Nu in Jin Yong's classic…
I would advise you not to justify grooming and pedophile behavior and not to assume anything about my culture (and how laughable what you wrote about conservative stuff, you really don't know what you are talking about).
The DIRECTOR and author are groomers and pedophiles (especially for sexualizing the teen actress who was 14 at the time) then for making this decision. Leo Wu at 23 played a general and they made him look appropriately aged as needed.
The PDA is not the issue, that is just an excuse. They could have made her his younger sister but they chose to make it a romance. They could have made age appropriate actors but they chose not to do that because they are groomers. And you apparently think Asians are all like this which is revolting. Yes there are a lot of issue and they should be lambasted.
SHAME ON THE DIRECTOR, SHAME ON THE PRODUCER, SHAME ON THE WRITER. GROOMER PEDOPHILES.
This show will always be in my eyes as the one which screwed up the chance to have the most badass FL lead ever…
I'm at the point (episode 5-6) where she is acting completely like not a human woman and trying to force herself on Ning to get pregnant. Like this is not a woman written by a person who ever knows a woman. Does this stupid **** end or continue? I mean at least if it was lust, and she picked a good looking guy to blow off steam with I would understand but the whole pregnancy thing is just insane.
There is something wrong with casting a 28 year old MALE LEAD and a 17 year old FEMALE LEAD. Were there no appropriate age female leads? Or was there no 17-18 year old male lead? What is this pedophile crap?
They both don't look like they are in their 30s and Hyeri just played a high school girl really well . I guess I should be happy because I like both of them and think they have that playful edge that can bring a character to life (just hope they don't make them mellow and too mature).
Maybe try to read the article before you spew your usual predictable nonsense!
He has a face suited for a variey of roles but this is a tragic tale so he is particularly suited for it. I really hope they cast a good FL who can also act with him. If you want a mature male leads watch Mercy For None, it was excellent.
I think all your reasons are solid but maybe Extraordinary you is not really a strong example for the 2nd one.…
Yeah at best Lee Do Hwa, as her friend had maybe more of a chemistry and was such a good guy so I could get having SLS for him. However, Baek Gyeon was just a terrible character (love the actor, hate the character) who was mean, selfish, hurt her on purpose, cheated, etc. Baek Gyeon was meant to be critique the toxic old school kdrama leads like those in Boys Over Flowers and Haru was meant to be the SML (kind, loyal, sweet etc).
Can't wait for him to be in a lead show after a long time, he does so well. Hopefully FL is well chosen (his age and has chemistry with him maybe even Seo Ye Ji my other fav )
The main character is played by a 30 year old (and I say this as a huge fan of Ahn Hyo Seop) but has a high school student following him in some crush type way? That seems really cheap and unnecessary. Jisoo is also 30, just make the character a 30 year old and stop pairing or thinking putting high school girls or "girls" with old guys is fine. Puke.
