The promotional line, “Don’t forget someone out there in the space always encourages you”, Starting initial interest. But once the teaser is released, the Netizen Koreans have expressed a strong disappointment, in particular on communities like Theqoo.
The reactions include:
- ã… ã… Please use the voice actors, I’m imploring you …
- It is so strange.
- I don’t know if it’s bad enough to get angry, Lol, but there aren’t even so many lines to start.
- If you think about it, not taking a voice actor wouldn’t be cheaper? Because … it doesn’t seem that it is a big enough project to attract famous actors.
- Isn’t it the professional dubbing point to make a dubbing in that way? Why are they not using professional voice actors? When you listen to audiobooks or dramatic CDs, there are so many actors that they are really good at acting.
Many commentators stressed that while Kim Tae-Ri AND Hong Kyung They are live talented actors, their delivery in the teaser felt flat, without the vocal depth required to give life to the animated characters. Some also said that the performances pulled them out of the engaging experience.
However, some fans remained support, noting the single plot of the film and the bold casting of Netflix. Yet they too admitted, “The visual elements are beautiful, but the voices need more weight.”
This is not the first time that traditional actors have had to face criticism for vocal acting roles. Fans continue to request better respect for the boat, claiming that vocal acting is a specialized ability that should not be treated as a rethinking, also for starry productions.
