“There really isn't much difference between Sho and Donghae's performance. I felt like Donghae performed his role perfectly though he seemed more charming, and I would have even liked a couple more scenes with him in it. In the anime however, I could have done with less Sho scenes. His arrogance and selfishness got on my nerves and I absolutely hated the character there.^[6]”
