This has nothing to do with Suzy or hating on Suzy. This has to do with Cheese in the Trap and Sul. Sul is such a complex and contradictory character there's just no way she could pull it off. Even an experienced and good actress might need a couple months to study her properly, THAT is how detailed and exact Sul's personality, actions, and aura are known.

Obviously we're fans of the webtoon and are excited for the drama, so we hope it will do will. Suzy just doesn't fit the bill, so we're against it. Her Arch. 101 role was simple as hell btw, nowhere near Sul.

I really like Suzy (she's actually has an offbeat personality based on her reality appearances) and thought she did a pretty good job in "Architecture 101" (as did Han Ga-in, another who has roundly gotten criticized for her acting).

Now, with the right project (writing/directing) - actresses who have been maligned for their acting have been able to break thru (YEH in "Coffee Prince", KTH in "My Princess", Lee Yeon-gee in "Miss Korea", etc.), so maybe the writer and PD may be able to draw out a god performance from Suzy.

But at the same time, I can see fans of the web-toon/prospective viewers for the series wanting an actress who has already shown to be able to regularly give good performances.

LYH seems like she has really broken thru w/ regard to her acting abilities whereas YEH hasn't been able to match her performance in CP. Along those lines, Suzy's acting, if anything, has gone backwards from Arch 101.

If Suzy is cast, I'm not going to summarily dismiss it and will give it a try, but an actress with a better track record would increase the chance of the series being a success.

well..so so many opinionated wise people are here..
When the article was published about her considering the role..
the comment section explode..
I'm a big fan of suzy and for surely I can tell many don't want her to take this role..
Many complaint when she's not yet the lead actress.
I'd rather not suzy take the role ...than her being you know..?
People criticized based solely on what they've seen and heard ..
if you compare it to a house or a book .. You thought, I know it all ...but you haven't explored it yet or understand it..Just by thinking I KNOW IT ALL...You forget to perceive the other half of it just like a person.
What if The thought I KNOW IT ALL is just 50% of 100% or maybe even less..??

Well who ever takes the role wish her goodluck...

I liked her in Gu Family Book. I felt for her character there, so I really cannot agree with anyone who says she's incapable of making anyone feel anything for her character.

I don't understand this Suzy hate. I thought she did way better in GFB than, for example, Jung So-Min did in Mischievous Kiss, and the hate for Jung So-Min doesn't go to these levels. Heck, I've never seen hate for Jung So-Min, ever. The double standards are ridiculous.

Honestly, I have never had the instance where fan hate actually led to something positive. I just hope the producers are sincere with their casting and that they'll follow it through IF they believe in it.

Crappy and idiotic? Rather harsh there. She struggled a bit at the beginning, but I still do not think another actress fitted the role better than SEK for the Korean version. Yes, she may not have been a natural like Ueno Juri at first, but she gradually got accustomed to her role. Also, her character was very silly to begin with.

There's a reason why people did not want Yoona to take on the role. She wasn't right for the character and a mass majority of people realized this. I wouldn't call it idol bias since even though Suzy may have improved throughout the years, many people (with good reason) still regard her acting as mediocre.

<Shim Eun-Kyung’s portrayal ended up being so crappy and idiotic

I wouldn't blame Shim for this though. The Korean adaptation was a mess, including what they decided to do with the character. I didn't like Shim's portrayal of the character but it wasn't for lack of acting skills.

Shin Eun Kyung's acting was hardly crappy and idiotic. It was the Korean version's writing that made the drama fail.

People criticized choice of Yoona cause she was wrong choice for the role not necessarily cause she is an idol actress. I think after PMAI a lot of people wormed up to Yoona and her acting as she showed genuine improvement , just like Go Ara and Lee Yeon Hee.

When it comes to Suzy , not only she is wrong choice for this role but she also can't emote on screen, she is very flat in her performance. She is pretty and likeable but that's the nicest thing i can say about her. She hasn't improved since Dram High and she can hardly make a jump from that level to the one necessary to portray Sol.

I'd want someone at the level of Go Ah-sung.

She's young, but Suzy is actually younger, so if they are going to cast someone that much younger than Park Hae-jin they might cast someone as good as Go Ah-sung!

This is a complex drama, with complex – very three-dimensional – characters.

Honestly, the fact that TvN is even thinking about casting someone like Suzy makes me seriously worried about how they going about producing the whole drama.

Seo Hyun Jin is an extremely nuanced actress if her performance in Let's Eat 2 is anything to go by. I have a feeling she will play a layered character quite well. She can even make hysterics and general ridiculousness look plausible.
