It seemed to garner mixed reactions. Some seemed to not think that Koo Kyo Hwan’s visuals matched up to Moon Ga Young’s, while others complained about the “age gap” with the actor being 41 years old and the actress being 27 years old.

i love both of them as actors individually but tbh i just think they should be casting an older actress like the two characters are supposed to be around the same age and these two are very clearly not the same age https://t.co/deYvhORr6c

Yet, netizens quickly hit back at netizens’ “mean” comments about the actor. In particular, while many cemented that Koo Kyo Han is definitely not “ugly,” they explained that it would be great if actors could be chosen because of their amazing acting rather than just being “handsome.”

“old man” y’all keep crying when them visual actors half ass at acting but when they cast real actors y’all call them ugly. pick a struggle https://t.co/Axj0J7P6q0

He’s not even ugly but I’d rather have a man who can act than someone who’s excessively handsome but can’t do more than two expressions for all emotions https://t.co/LvrY0VGRWv

Regarding the age gap, fans pointed out that Ga Young has worked with co-stars with an equally big age gap.

they did the man dirty with the picture tbh. he actually looks fine & his acting is even finer. for the age gap, moon kayoung’s previous drama partners were quite older (kim dongwook 83er; yoo yeonseok 84er) so are we ready to have a convo about age gaps of actors as tv couples? https://t.co/nsepPtmOk8

While many think being handsome is key to being an actor, sometimes it means more than that. Although Koo Kyo Hwan might not meet the Korean standards of handsomeness, he is truly good-looking for so many fans and has amazing acting to back it up.
