However, after the teaser was released, some Taiwanese viewers were disappointed in the casting of Ahn Hyo Seop as the lead character Nam Si Hyun.

According to a source on August 14, some local netizens voiced their observations after watching the "A Time Called You" teaser. This landed the main protagonist to be criticized for being cast in the adaptation. The commenters have been comparing Ahn Hyo Seop and the original actor He Huang Han.

It has been said that the Taiwanese actor stands at a height of 178cm and weighs 69kg. In contrast, the Korean star is relatively taller at 188cm with a slender build. Ahn Hyo Seop's close-up shots seemed to be an issue to some and even led to unintended misconceptions.

Meanwhile, contrary to the released observations, viewers were quick to dismiss the notion that the Korean heartthrob had gained weight.

"Ahn Hyo Seop gained weight? Really?"

"He is taller, and it's natural for him to have a higher weight."

"Ahn Hyo Seop and He Huang Han have similar charming smiles."

"The Korean male lead's casting fits perfectly."

Furthermore, international viewers will finally meet the cast of "A Time Called You" beginning September 8 on Netflix.
