Article: IU to make an acting comeback... cast in KBS 'The Best Lee Soon Shin'

1. [+454, -45] What a waste for Jo Jung Suk... I'd rather he work with Lee Yoonji again. Why do producers insist on sticking singers into these roles? IU and Jo Jung Suk as a couple.. It doesn't match at all. If IU doesn't pick up her act, she's going to turn this into something so elementary. How can she be paired with Jo Jung Suk, one of our greatest actors...!!! I was looking forward to this drama for him and just.. IU?.. Sigh

2. [+426, -34] Hul omona what in the world. They shouldn't use idols.

3. [+399, -31] Hul;;; a lead role;;;; on top of that, it's a KBS weekend drama with the best viewer rating slot;;;;;

4. [+66, -13] Are Loen and IU even using their brains anymore? IU's image is already down the drain and this was the best they could think of? Don't they know why people fell in love with IU in the first place? Because she sang well, she was innocent, she seemed like she had a good head on her shoulders, and was thoughtful. All of that is gone now and the only thing she has left is her good singing. Why not utilize that and make a singing comeback... That's the only way to bring back IU's worth. And a leading role as her first real role? Are you kidding me? ㅋㅋ

5. [+56, -10] Putting aside her history of being fake, I believed in her passion for music despite it all. But a drama? ㅋ Don't even kid me

1. [+103, -14] Departing from whether or not I like her, it's hard for even talented veteran actors to have an opportunity at leading roles like this, why do they keep giving them away to idols? If producers are doing this simply because they want to use their fandoms, have some damn morals. There are so many actors that are barely scraping by, eating ramen just to stay alive, and they give these roles away to idols??? She wouldn't even get this much hate if she started with a minor role, what are these trashy channels even thinking putting idols in there? The actors should just get up and boycott.

2. [+93, -14] IU is just getting more hate by the day

3. [+105, -1-] Are they crazy; how could they give a lead role to IU?

4. [+82, -10] IU, leave the drama while you're ahead ㅡㅡ unless you want to be remembered as the national nuisance

5. [+66, -5] Even a minor role would be a waste on her
