The news that Hwang In Yeop will play Na Yu-yeon confirms that he will play a character who is already popular with fans of the original work. As adaptation movies gain popularity and controversy, many audiences often criticize the casting decisions. In light of such news, many comments would surely pour in on the internet, and most people seemed to doubt the actor was right for the part.

According to conversations collected from Nate Pann, the first post questioning the casting quickly gained popularity, with users arguing about whether Hwang In Yeop was right for the role.

The original poster expressed confusion over the casting choice. "WHAT IS THIS?" The post also referenced anticipation for the character's on-screen portrayal. "Yu-yeon sunbae is coming to life."

However, much of the response in the comments section leaned critical. Several users openly questioned the decision to cast Hwang In Yeop in the role.

One commenter raised doubts about his continued casting opportunities. "Seriously this guy... How does he keep getting cast like that..?" Another user shared a blunt critique of his appearance. "He looks like a fish, he's the fish type but in a negative way."

Some commenters suggested broader concerns about adapting the story altogether. "At this rate, just don't do the live action." Others referenced the character's original portrayal in a sarcastic tone. "Yoo-yeon sunbae said he didn't want to come to life."

A particularly pointed remark reflected concerns about potential backlash. "Ah freaking funny. If I were him, I would've turned it down, but he's still doing it...? He'll get mocked at the whole time and he'll ruin this too."

Pannchoa's comments show how high fans' expectations are for live-action adaptations, especially those based on well-known source material.

This kind of response is common when casting announcements are made, despite the criticism. After seeing how an actor portrays the part on screen, people's initial doubts about them may be dispelled.

Hwang In Yeop has had a steady career on TV, but now he has to bring Na Yu-yeon to life under a lot of pressure. As production goes on, we'll have to wait and see if public opinion changes.

As excitement grows for "Guide to a Proper Romance," both fans and critics are likely to keep talking about the casting choice.
