[+142, -0] Putting his image aside, just looking at T.O.P's appearance in the teaser made the drama look like a third-rate mess. His casting was not considered at all.

[+104, -0] As a director, I don't think there is any basic consideration for the viewers. You seemed to think that the success of the first season would lead people to ignore these things, but there are people like me who refuse to consume content from such criminals.

[+84, -2] What is this bull's load? I think this director doesn't think his crime is that big of a problem. Why cast a criminal? You are basically showing that you support this criminal. And he's had a lot of time to think of a good excuse for TOP casting, so was this the best he could come up with? Why should viewers be considerate of criminals??

[+48, -0] It's not just the marijuana scandal that's so hated… The director seems to know nothing.

[+6, -0] I don't know why they don't cast someone else. ‘Tazza’ was also ruined.

[+4, -0] It's because of people like you who “don't think things through” that criminals continue to commit crimes and crawl back onto the screen as if nothing is wrong. Anyone who calls themselves a director should be ashamed…

[+4, -0] As a director, once you have made the final decision on casting, you must take responsibility for it and believe in it until the end. Just because you no longer want to express hate doesn't mean you should put TOP on the chopping block instead. Coach Lee is so light-hearted… he's arrogant enough to think that the lucky success of the first season is due to his own talent or something.

[+4, -0] The director didn't pay much attention to casting because he seemed to have seen other criminal actors be more successful, so just watch it lol.

[+4, -0] It's because of directors like you that celebrities continue to commit crimes and go backwards.

[+2, -0] Criminals should not be allowed to commit crimes and live well in a society.

[+2, -0] Haha, so you didn't really think about it, but do you think viewers will understand after watching the season?? ^^ No~ I won’t watch it. I especially don’t watch criminals.
