1. [+621, -36] It hasn't been that long since she used her title as a popular idol to debut as an actress, so I wonder what the KEPA has to say about IU being cast as a leading female role by just her second try? If we apply their argument to their criticism of Infinity Challenge, "The addition of idols without any acting talent into any drama of their choice is a monopoly led by these large idol agencies. They are demotivating rookie actors and are attempting to collapse the drama industry."

2. [+404, -27] It's even more surprising considering that the drama is scheduled for a golden time slot. Could IU and Jo Jung Suk match?

3. [+406, -51] Is there anyone even anticipating this?????????

4. [+100, -9] If they're using IU, who's now in complete ruin, just for the hype, then they should also cast Eunanchovy as the second leading male role and turn the drama into a love triangle. I guarantee that you will record a 30% viewer rating.

5. [+100, -8] I'm a bit disappointed with IU.. ㅠㅠ How is this any different from getting into a college for being a celebrity? This is a perk... She said in an interview that she wants to work her way up starting with smaller roles, but I guess that was all just a lie to make her image better... IU and all the other idols, don't go into acting if you're not going to do it rightㅡㅡ

6. [+90, -6] Does IU have a sponsor???? How can she land a leading role on a prime time drama all at once??????

7. [+89, -5] I'm really begging everyone, stop using actors without the skills to back it up... If you keep throwing in faces because they look pretty, the drama ends up becoming some elementary school talent show...

8. [+65, -5] The viewer ratings will probably still do well since it's a KBS weekend drama... But we still want to see a real drama! One without an idol!

9. [+53, -9] Obviously people are worried since IU's crappy acting is on par with any elementary school student. And on top of that, Jo Jung Suk... There will be a huge gap

10. [+50, -4] I know it's wrong to pinpoint IU like this since there are plenty of other dramas with idols as the leads, but the reason this is so wrong is that this is the first time an idol is a lead in a weekend drama ㅡㅡ Do we really have to watch crappy acting for 50 episodes in a row? I really don't want to deal with that... How would Jo Jung Suk feel, someone who really took their time working their way up to finally landing their first lead role right now..
