Fans of Lovely Runner Upset that Producer Credited the Success of the Drama to Molding the Male Lead Character for Byun Woo Seok’s Image

Man, talk about the production of Lovely Runner continuing to praise one lead or criticize the other. Months ago the PD of the drama was criticized for saying that he needed Kim Hye Yoon to improve her looks and visuals for the drama, calling it “tough love” so she could be seen as the best version of herself onscreen and make the love at first sight story believable. Now the producer of the drama when asked in a recently released BTS interview when asked the reason for the success of the drama, he credited the success of LR to molding the male lead character to fit Byun Woo Seok‘s image and make it easier for him to give such an ideal performance. No mention whatsoever of Kim Hye Yoon with respect to the question. Netizens are shredding the sexist and male lead preferential treatment from this drama production and can’t say they aren’t wrong in their ire.

  • Somehow I believe him that he might have favored the male lead over the female lead without rightfully saying it but it could be that he did mold the role to fit his limitations because Suzy always did well with the writer of the first drama dream high but tanked with other projects when it came to her acting and since has improved but it happens. That is probably the only way to make idols fit their roles when they have limited acting range but not everyone puts that effort and just lets it slide by. He does seem a little full of himself though.. in which I mean the director not the actors. The main actor needs to sign up for something so he can further prove himself and people would stop ragging on him and speculating whether he is good or not. I felt both actors did well and at times they both had those cheesy moments in acting that was a bit cringe but I would chalk it up to the writing and directing.

  • Well actress usually received less praise when it came to hit drama but the producer is over the top if he doesn’t even acknowledge the fl

    Anyway it’s strange that there is so much news from this drama. I mean if we talk about other hit like qot, there isn’t much news anymore. maybe someone is behind fanning the flames?
