Ahead of the premiere of his new drama "A Time Called You," Ahn Hyo Seop is creating a buzz online as viewers shared their mixed reactions about him being cast in the series.

'A Time Called You' Teaser Ignites Excitement to Fans & Viewers

Many are looking forward to the new Netflix drama "A Time Called You," which is the Korean remake of the popular Taiwanese series "Someday or One Day." However, before its scheduled release, it has already sparked mixed reactions from the viewers.

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.
