The news of Lee Jung Jae and Lim Ji Yeon being cast as the leads for 'Mean Love' has been garnering much attention since the initial reports.

Since the end of last year, there were reports that Lim Ji Yeon, known for her role as Park Yeon Jin in 'The Glory,' would team up with 'Squid Game's Lee Jung Jae. Then on March 5, it was confirmed that the two would star as the leads in the upcoming romantic comedy 'Mean Love.'

This latest news has sparked another debate online on how the on-screen chemistry would be between the cast.

In particular, there was a discussion previously regarding the large age gap between Lee Jung Jae and Lim Ji Yeon, as some Korean netizens thought the 18-year gap was too much for the leading actors.

With the final cast confirmation, Korean netizens are now further wondering how the chemistry would be. Korean netizens still think the age gap between Lee Jung Jae and Lim Ji Yeon is too much and are saying the romance between Kim Ji Hoon and Lim Ji Yeon would be better.

Korean netizens commented:

"The leads don't suit each other."

"Lee Jung Jae is the only cast member sticking out... lol."

"If they cast Lee Jung Jae first, they could've cast other actors of a similar age."

"They have Kim Ji Hoon..."

"Kim Ji Hoon and Lim Ji Yeon look good together."

"I wish Kim Ji Hoon and Lim Ji Yeon would form a love line in this drama."

"The age gap... Please don't do that."

"Kim Ji Hoon and Lim Ji Yeon's visual chemistry is so good."

"I think it's going to be 2% romance and 98% comedy. lol."

"Shouldn't Kim Ji Hoon play the male lead, not Lee Jung Jae?"

"I think the rest of the cast members are around the same age but it's just Lee Jung Jae who's not..."

"I am shipping Kim Ji Hoon and Lim Ji Yeon together."

"Wait, Kim Ji Hoon is not the male lead?"

"Let's have Kim Ji Hoon be Lim Ji Yeon's love interest."

"Please change Kim Ji Hoon to be the male lead."

"Kim Ji Hoon is also worthy of being the male lead. Why isn't he the male lead?"
