Coupang Play recently shared a short video featuring the two stars greeting viewers ahead of the drama’s release.

Many were excited about the preview, especially considering the pair seemed to be dressed as their characters.

However, some have expressed some negative feelings about the on-screen couple.

In many comments, netizens criticized the male actor’s behavior, wishing for him to have shown more excitement in the video. Another segment targeted Park’s looks, even attempting to compare him to Jisoo’s previous co-stars.

On the other hand, however, many have defended the male actor and the pairing, mentioning his many works and skills. Some even mentioned the drama’s setting, saying that if he was speaking in character, his more mellow attitude would make even more sense.
