Translated Korean Netizen Comments
1. Oh, that’s really strange.
2. Is he going to speak like that in the actual drama?
3. Maybe it’s intentional for the trailer, since it’s like a simulation game? No way.
4. Is he playing a gay character?
5. He must be trying to be funny, right?
6. We’ll have to see what kind of character it is to judge, lol.
He’s usually such a good actor.
7. It’s probably just an exaggerated concept for the trailer, no way, lolololol.
8. It’s not just the trailer; he used that tone even at the script reading.
9. But even on the drama forums, people are discussing how his tone was like that at the script reading, so it’ll probably be the same in the actual drama.
10. That option…??? The game where that appears, it feels like that kind of acting, lol. He uses that tone in the commercials, lolol.
11. Even in the trailer, why that cutesy tone…? Is there a gay character setting?
12. Was he like that at the script reading too?????
13. Ugh, what is that? It’s so cringey;; What kind of character would talk like that?
14. It sounds like a host club character from a Japanese drama.
15. Huh? Isn’t it meant to be funny?
16. Is it a very special character…?
17. I thought, “Oh, it’s just for promotional fun, lolol,” but then I scrolled down and saw the script reading. What the heck?
18. If it’s an LGBTQ+ character, then it should be fine, right?
19. It’s funny, though? Lolol.
20. He really did use that tone at the script reading.
21. OMG, I thought it was just for the content. Ah, that’s too much, lol.
22. If he’s the male lead in a romantic comedy, he’s not an LGBTQ+ character. What’s with the LGBTQ+ talk, lol.
23. If he started like that at the script reading, it must be the director’s guidance, right? The director should explain.
24. Is this the director’s fault?
25. Why is he so seductive?
26. It’s too affected…
27. He even played a genre-specific style in a romance drama, which I didn’t like, and this time it’s even more exaggerated. How can this be a romantic drama’s male lead?
28. Im Si-wan (임시완) seems to have adopted a neutral tone… The female actress’s voice is actually lower (the tone is the tone, but Im Si-wan’s speaking style is like a historical drama ㅜ).
29. It’s the tone of a gay friend in an American drama.
30. No way, how can a romantic drama male lead talk like that… ㅜ
31. I thought it was just a promotional tone, but it’s real??? Did no one stop him?
32. ??? He sounds like a malicious sister-in-law.
33. It feels effeminate…
34. Ugh, I can’t watch it. How can such a good actor be like this? It really makes me realize the importance of voice. It’s too distracting, I can’t watch it. An actor’s voice is so important.
35. It’s even more surprising coming from such a good actor.
36. Is this SNL…?
37. Ah… I was really looking forward to that drama, but I’ll skip it ㅠㅠ I feel like it’ll be too awkward to watch.
38. Lolololol. I burst out laughing as soon as it played.
39. This is the first time I’ve seen Im Si-wan’s acting be so strange.
40. Did no one in the production team think that tone was strange…?
41. He’s usually such a good actor, why is he like this this time?
42. Let’s just watch the drama first before judging.
43. Hmm… Since we don’t know the content or character yet, maybe it’ll fit well once we watch the drama?
44. It might feel strange at first, but once the drama starts and you get used to the character, it’ll be fine. The biggest problem with dramas is always the script.
45. It sounds like the tone of a middle-aged woman in an Im Sung-han (임성한) drama, which I’ve been watching a lot lately, lolol.
