Recently, the popular Taiwanese film ' You Are the Apple of My Eye ' was rumored to be making a Korean remake. The offer to play the main role fell to TWICE's Dahyun and former B1A4's Jinyoung . 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' is a film by Director Giddens Ko which tells the story of the relationship between a problematic student at school and the model student who is assigned to supervise him.
Quoting from KBIZoom on May 15, 2024, Dahyun was chosen to play the female lead Shen Chia Yi (name in the original version), while the male lead, Ko Ching Teng, will be played by Jinyoung. However, unfortunately, this news received a lot of negative responses from netizens, especially those who liked the original version of the film.
When it was reported that Jinyoung and Dahyun would be cast in the remake of 'You Are the Apple of My Eye', criticism poured in. Debates also took place on social media, especially Weibo. Many netizens felt that Dahyun's appearance did not bring a breath of fresh air like Michelle Chen and doubted her acting skills.
" Her appearance doesn't match her character, " wrote one netizen. “ They are casting idols again. "I don't have a problem with either of them, Jinyoung has acted before, but it seems like both of them are not suitable for the role, let alone expecting them to improve through their acting skills, " said another netizen.
“ Choosing Dahyun surprised me, while Jinyoung is 32 years old, is he suitable for the role of a student? ” other netizens chimed in. This criticism actually appeared not without reason. Dahyun is the first member of the girl group Twice to enter the world of acting since the group's debut in 2015.
Dahyun has no previous acting experience, so it is natural for netizens to feel doubtful about her acting abilities, especially when she was immediately cast as the main character in a remake of a popular film. Previously, Dahyun had received an offer to star in an independent film entitled 'Sprint'.
However, this was not enough to convince netizens because the film had not yet been broadcast. On the other hand, Jinyoung is a former member of B1A4 who already has experience in acting. Some of his famous dramas and films are 'Persevere, Goo Hae Ra', 'Love in the Moonlight', 'My First First Love', 'Police University', 'Sweet Home', 'Miss Granny', and 'The Dude in Me '.
Meanwhile, in 2018, the Japanese version of 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' starring Yuki Yamada and Asuka Saito attracted attention, but was criticized because it was considered not as good as the original version. However, there are some people who support and look forward to Dahyun and Jinyoung's appearance. They think that Dahyun has a friendly smile and can act as an innocent and beautiful school student without make-up.
