Though the fans are loving the leads, most of them are worried about the age gap between them as Moon Ga Young is fifteen years younger than Yoo Yeon Seok. Many fans have expressed that romance between them might be weird. One user wrote, “Will she play his love interest??? The Age gap though😬,” while another wrote, “I like them both, but their age gap showing, it would be weird if they're going to be love line😂”
