Busy scrolling xhs and I can't put my smile down seeing many passersbys who praised him today. Music festivals are really good for visibility expansion and promotion 🫶.
I think the reason is that this drama was the first to start filming, and Ai Mi looks like a 15-year-old girl…
You are essentially arguing that the standard is flexible based on how many people are watching, which is an inconsistency. Popularity explains why the backlash is loud, but it doesn't justify the double standard. A fair critic should be the same no matter what kind of drama it is.
I would like to mention that dramas like Rebirth, PM, and MOTGA (historical dramas with age gap issues) did not receive the same level of intensity as this one.
And if you think popularity (genre or artist) justifies different standards of criticism, that’s your call but it’s not a logical position I can engage with further. Cheers.

You are misreading my point. I didn’t say it’s a “Big IP” or used that as my own argument, I was merely quoting what you said. I was responding to the reasoning you yourself gave. And I’m not trying to turn anything to the drama’s advantage. I am pointing out a pattern in how the same issue is received differently depending on the visibility and interest. This is the inconsistency I am talking about.
And I agree that people can have opinions on the casting or a project and this is not the point I’m disputing. My point is about how the concern is applied unevenly across similar situations and not about whether criticism is allowed.

Me being a fan doesn’t address the argument. I am talking about the inconsistency. Where did you get the idea that I was defending this underage casting. You are actually reinforcing my point. You just said people engage more because it’s a “Big IP” so the reaction is driven by interest and visibility, not just the issue itself. That’s exactly why it feels selective and disproportionate.
“When I first said she filmed this series, what I meant was that she was still a child back then.” and she still is a minor when she filmed her other upcoming drama. This still comes down to the same thing, people are choosing when to apply their concern. When the response depends on hype or personal interest, it stops looking purely principled and starts looking selective. This is my point from the very beginning.

But that still proves my point, people are choosing when to engage. If it were purely about the issue and their concern to her, the same energy would be present in other dramas too, regardless if it's modern/historical or the visibility. Also, being the first to film doesn't explain the intensity of the pile on compared to subsequent cases. If people are truly upset about an issue, the energy stays consistent or even grows with each new example.
She is the FL just in one other drama and people are also complaing there.
cmiiw ZY is an legal adult when he is playing her love interest in MJTY and FoF, for LOTDT I don't know the age of her love interest but I did hear she got married in that drama. She's a minor when she acted in MJTY, FoF, and LOTDT.

This is about how selective and disproportionate the reaction is here. I did not say there was zero complaints there. I’m talking about the scale and consistency as this level of piling on isn’t happening on her other drama page + the other dramas with similar issues that does not involve her in the cast.

thats what i’ve been saying CC. its doesn’t seem like they actually care about actress’s well being. they…
On point. Seems like they really couldn't care less about her. It really gives off the vibes that these yappings are driven by what we are very familiar with.
