[+1,164, -94] Where are the grandpas? Isn't this elder discrimination? Or the teens? Where's the representation for teen's rights? And the foreigners? This is racist. Are there going to be dogs on the show? We live in a generation where pets are considered family. And goldfish?

[+297, -15] 'The Roundup' has shown that the secret to hitting daebak is leaving out useless romance plot points

[+214, -14] I'm sure they'll figure it out, it's none of our business

[+130, -24] Not this again. Aren't there a lot of movies that are actress-centric too?

[+37, -0] It'll have them if they're needed, I'm tired of all this outrage and arguing...

[+21, -1] Where are the cats? This is really wrong of the drama producers to not include them

[+14, -0] Well maybe the plot didn't call for anymore -_-

[+11, -2] Never in my life have I seen a series criticized for not having actresses... ㅎㅎㅎㅎ what about animals? Will there be airplanes in the show? Cars...? Why isn't my favorite actor in this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

[+10, -1] Does male or female matter in creating a work like this?

[+8, -1] It's either needed for the plot or not. There's no reason for the show to go out of its way to create female characters if they're not needed.

[+7, -0] There weren't any famous female stars in the first season either. They all got famous after the fact~~

[+6, -0] Well, maybe they weren't needed for the plot? Why is this problematic? Is there some requirement for dramas to have equal representation of male and female characters? There are a ton of dramas with even up to 8 female leads, no?

[+5, -0] Why isn't there a Black actor? A Joseon person? A defector? A white person? Someone Latin? Why are there only Koreans on this show? Is this show being racist?? I'm so disappointed
