1. [+16,481, -1,109] I honestly just wish Kim Go Eun will interpret Hong Seol as her own character and show us her style as it is. I wish the cast and producers won't be swayed by the nagging readers. Keep the webtoon as the webtoon and the drama as the drama.

2. [+11,932, -448] Seems it's really hard to get a drama off to production the more popular the original webtoon is ㅜㅜ

3. [+11,153, -313] As we all saw with 'Nodame Cantabile', it doesn't matter if the cast is 100% fit to the original characters. It's all up to production and direction in the end... We haven't seen Kim Go Eun's interpretation of Hong Seol yet so we have to wait and see... She'll end up getting hate if the production is good but she doesn't give the Hong Seol feel... but she also has the opportunity to show a unique color of herself as an actress if she manages to pull it off.. so overall, it is a steep challenge for her.

4. [+7,007, -1,024] Just how amazing is the webtoon that there's this much hype over it in the media

5. [+6,602, -805] The producers should just cast 'Cheese' fans. Just how hardcore are these fans that they think they know the characters' personalities and their looks like the back of their hands... they should be able to act them out perfectly then.

6. [+1,548, -111] Everyone, this drama is already looking to be a failure. I looked up who the scriptwriter is and the only work she has under her history is the failure of the drama that was 'Tree of Heaven' and nothing ever since.

7. [+985, -29] The producers better not be too fixated on looking for an exotic looking actor and settling for some crappy acting idol. I'd rather they change the character's looks a bit and go with people more talented, like siblings who look similar.

8. [+944, -13] Just let us know when names are confirmed

9. [+907, -20] Casting for these two will be impossible if they don't work outside of the mixed race aspect of their characters

10. [+769, -73] Dramas with this much hype before production even begins usually end in failure...

11. [+691, -24] Honestly, Hong Seol's casting issues are nothing compared to how difficult it's going to be to cast Baek In Ho. The real battle begins now ㅋㅋㅋ there is not one celebrity out there who looks like him ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

12. [+845, -185] I feel like Lee Min Gi would be a good fit for Baek In Ho but he's in the army right now. Cha Ye Ryun would be good for Baek In Ha.. just dye her hair blonde. I don't care who plays Baek In Ho as long as it's not an idol.

13. [+637, -36] I just don't want this drama at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the cast will never satisfy the webtoon fans and the webtoon fans are getting all this hate for being picky. Just keep the webtoon as a webtoon, don't make a drama adaptation ㅠ

14. [+563, -32] Just think about this logically for a second. The male lead is Park Hae Jin and the female lead is Kim Go Eun. On top of that, it's a cable drama... what sane top star who could get a lead role anywhere they want would want to play supporting roles to these two leads on a cable drama? ㅋㅋㅋ We're going to end up with cheap supporting actors or B-list idols, tsk tsk. This isn't some public broadcast drama with hundreds of thousands in funding that can afford luxurious filming locations overseas. No way this drama would be appealing to any top list actor.

15. [+630, -137] I think Yoo In Young and Ji Chang Wook are perfect for these two. Face, height, acting, image, perfect fit!

16. [+392, -23] No way would Ji Chang Wook take on a webtoon cable drama as a supporting role under Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun when he already has experience as a male lead on a public broadcast prime time drama. The fans of this webtoon are being so greedy and unrealistic.
