Video talks about a post Gong Yoo made about the drama 'My Liberation Notes', which is currently recording at 2% viewer ratings, with the caption "Viewer ratings? Don't long for it", which is a parody of one of the lines in the drama. Netizens found it problematic that he would point out viewer ratings on a drama already suffering from low numbers when he as an actor himself should know that it would only kill the morale for the drama team. 

1. [+415] People would pass out if they heard some of the rumors going around about him... there are a ton of blind items, I hope they aren't true
- [+7] What are they...? ㅠ
- [+77] That he's obsessed with going to room salons

2. [+110] There's a reason celebrities in the past tried to keep up a mysterious image. It'd be so rare to find someone who's not only handsome but has great character too ㅋㅋ don't fall for the image making, guys

3. [+71] 'My Liberation Notes' is one of the better dramas I've started recently. It's a great piece of work... and I look forward to the episodes each week. I didn't know the viewer ratings were bad.

4. [+123] If his intention with the post was to show affection for the drama, then there were so many other ways he could've expressed himself. Choosing to point out the viewer ratings was a mistake. He's old enough to know other ways of incorporating the drama's script to express himself, only a rookie would make a mistake like this.

5. [+188] Is there no normal celebrity at all...

6. [+409] Male celebrities have it the best... they never get hate no matter what they do

7. [+259] He's not even a rookie. He has so much experience, why would he do something like this, tsk tsk

8. [+93] I don't think what he said is deserving of such hate but it does piss me off that Kim Sejung said something similar but she got way more hate than him. Do people think Kim Sejung's an easy target or what?

9. [+79] Wasn't 'Big' viewer ratings that low too?

10. [+140] He makes so much money that I doubt he cares about the plights of the staff who have to work on such a drama...

11. [+61] Gong Yoo crossed the line

12. [+50] His humor is stuck in boomer era... he probably thought he was so witty for thinking of that one

13. [+114] He must think he's so witty and sensible... but it's actually so rude of him to point that out
