Chinese fans of Korean actor Lee Min-ho were disgruntled by a Chinese network’s decision to dub his voice in the drama “The Heirs.”

According to reports, Chinese fans of the actor expressed dissatisfaction when the drama was dubbed in Chinese instead of being aired with subtitles.

Online comments cited by the local media ranged from those claiming that the voice actors failed to properly convey the emotions of the characters to others saying that subtitles would have more than sufficed.

“The Heirs” was aired in a special broadcast running from July 20 to 24, with five episode each day.

The drama was a massive hit in Korea and other Asian nations in 2013, shooting Lee to international stardom.
