On February 15th, the newest drama, " The Heavenly Idol " starring Kim Min Kyu premiered on tvN channel. Because it was played by Kim Min Kyu, this drama was previously expected to be as successful as the actor's previous dramas. The series "The Heavenly Idol" itself is a drama adaptation of the webtoon which tells the story of High Priest Rembary who suddenly switches bodies with Woo Yeon Woo, an idol from the failed group, Wild Animal.
Through his agreement with Woo Yeon Woo, Rembrary, who wants to return to his world so he can fight The Evil One, can only return with one condition, namely to make Wild Animals get year-end awards. Even though this drama is quite entertaining, this drama recorded a rating that was far from expectations. In its first episode, the rating for "The Heavenly Idol" didn't reach 3.1 percent.
While in the second episode, the drama's rating dropped sharply to 2 percent. Launching kdramastars, low audience interest can be seen from the reaction of fans who revealed that this drama did not live up to its hype because the storyline was too disappointing. Considering that Kim Min Kyu was very successful in playing Kang Tae Moo's loyal secretary, Cha Sung Hoon, in the drama " Business Proposal ," viewers are comparing Kim Min Kyu's latest drama with this drama.
Last year, "Business Proposal" created a great sensation even though this drama, which was also adapted from a webtoon, had a fairly common plot and didn't have top actors. It can be said that the drama starring Kim Se Jeong, Ahn Hyo Seop, Seol In Ah, and Kim Min Kyu managed to attract the attention of the audience because the chemistry of the players was very natural and adorable, just like a real couple.
However, that doesn't mean Kim Min Kyu's acting in the drama "The Heavenly Idol" is bad. Fans actually feel that the low rating this drama got was due to its unconventional and overly forced themes. Meanwhile, many viewers are still defending that the drama just started building its plot in its first week and they believe that it will gradually improve after the release of further episodes.
