Viewers Complain About “Dreaming Of A Freaking Fairy Tale” Kim Hyun-jin Looking Too Young For His Character

“Dreaming Of A Freaking Fairy Tale” is arousing keen attention from drama fans with its comedy scenes and stories about the rich. Aside from the main couple portrayed by Pyo Ye-jin and Lee Jun-young, supporting actor Kim Hyun-jin also captivates viewers.

In the drama, Kim Hyun-jin takes on the role of Baek Do-hong, a talented movie director with many successful projects. This character is described as a rich and handsome man who always exudes a mysterious vibe, unlike other chaebols. This is also the reason the female lead Jae-rim falls for him.

However, many viewers complained that Kim Hyun-jin looked too young for the role. Although the actor is nearly 30, his face is as young as an 18-year-old student. Due to his youthful visual, Kim Hyun-jin neither matches the image of Baek Do-hong, a rich and successful man, nor shows good chemistry with Pyo Ye-jin.

Of course, no one criticized Kim Hyun-jin for his appearance or acting skills. The problem is his face, which is too young compared to what his character is supposed to look like, making it difficult for viewers to immerse themselves in the story. Even his romantic scenes with Pyo Ye-jin became awkward because of their unmatching vibes. Some people believe that Kim Hyun-jin should play student roles instead. Others commented, “He looks like a puppy. That’s why the couple scenes look so funny”, “Hyunjin should play students for a few more years. His face is too young”, “He doesn’t look like a chaebol at all. He’s like the son of a chaebol?”, “He tried to act coolly but it didn’t help much”, etc.

Born in 1996, Kim Hyun-jin has just acted for 4 years. Before starring in “Dreaming Of A Freaking Fairy Tale”, he appeared in the main cast of “Cheer Up” and amazed viewers with his handsome and bright visual. People have high expectations for Kim Hyun-jin’s future but it seems like the character this time is beyond his ability.
