[Read previous for more info] Editorial that names IU and Suzy as acting rivals, going on to say that viewers are criticizing IU's acting very coldly while Suzy is receiving praise. Journalist brings up 'Dream High 1', recalling how it was the other way around then and now, two years later, their positions have reversed.

1. [+361, -110] Why must Gu Family Book insist on bringing down other unrelated people in order to make their own cast shine? Not only did they do this with Jang Ok Jung, but now they're even messing with IU, who's doing nothing but minding her own business.

2. [+240, -40] This isn't your diary

3. [+352, -170] Honestly, IU's decent at acting, although the title of 'female lead' still doesn't fit her at all. Suzy is just... whatever. So much media play surrounding her right now, anyone else who didn't know any better would think she is an acting goddess.

4. [+59, -13] I'm not an IU fan but this article really pisses me off ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+57, -15] Gu Family Book reps are really taking this media play too far.. Why are they comparing and taking down someone who's just minding their own business and doing their own job? This is such a turn off

6. [+54, -17] I read half of it before I scrolled down because it was so ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋ Suzy still sucks as an actress. Even though I don't like IU, I'd definitely prefer IU's acting in 'The Best' over Suzy's. She didn't seem to be afraid of letting her image go for the sake of her character. Suzy, on the other hand, can't sing or act and has no general talents other than her pretty face.

7. [+41, -12] IU's acting is decent.. She's well rounded in terms of pulling off crying and comedic acting, especially scenes that call for high emotion. Why compare the two?

8. [+38, -11] Gu Family Book seems to be feeling nervous... why media play by bringing in a drama that's not even in its time slot? Leave IU alone..

9. [+37, -12] What dog is barking in this article? IU is way better than Suzy. At least IU doesn't read her script like she's reading out of a book? Wow... Suzy seriously needs to get that bubble of hers popped because this media play is out of control.

10. [+35, -6] As if hating on Jang Ok Jung wasn't enough, Gu Family Book has set their sights on a drama that's not even in their time slot? ㅋ IU's been receiving decent marks on her acting... Stop this media play immediately.

11. [+36, -9] The real community response is that IU's been improving while Suzy's back on the chopping block for her crappy acting. Gu Family Book needs to stop this media play. Stop pulling in irrelevant people and run your drama by your own damn self. God, this is pissing me off!!
