Some netizens believe that these 3 actors get cast in big projects mostly because of their good looks.
When it comes to K-drama casting, somehow, many good actors have yet to land major roles and blow up, while some are widely popular, despite controversial acting. Here are 3 K-drama actors whose talents are said to fall behind their popularity.
Rowoon
Playing the male lead of the newly released series “Tomorrow”, the idol-turned actor Rowoon is drawing mixed reactions. Rowoon’s acting has come under criticism for being stiff since his performance in “Extraordinary You”, and some viewers claimed that until now, he has not shown many improvements. Compared to his more experienced co-stars, Rowoon struggled to be flexible in his expression, resulting in a controversial performance.
Shin Se Kyung
To many K-drama fans, it is a mystery how Shin Se Kyung is continuously cast in major series when her acting has always received more negative reviews than positive ones. Shin Se Kyung’s acting has been labeled stiff and monotonous since the 2009 sitcom “High Kick Through The Roof”, and yet, she still appears in big projects every year. Recently, it was reported that Shin Se Kyung will replace Kim Ji Won in “Arthdal Chronicles 2” and star alongside Lee Jun Ki, to the shock of many.
Song Kang
Similar to the aforementioned, Song Kang receives plenty of acting offers even with his lacking portrayal. Song Kang is nicknamed “the son of Netflix”, having starred in multiple projects of the platform, including “Sweet Home”, “Love Alarm”, “Nevertheless”, and most recently, “Forecasting Love and Weather”. Perhaps this is due to his dashing visuals and heated chemistry with his co-stars?
