The Heavenly Idol

The Heavenly Idol is quite frankly a perfect romantic comedy. It has a very wide range cast of characters that are all so much fun to watch, with each one adding a little bit of flair to the overall plot line.

The story is fun, interesting, and just different enough to make it stand out from the crowd. The ML is such a wonderful character, just naive enough that the situations he finds himself in are ridiculous in a believable way that create genuine humor for the viewer. The romance is more of a subplot, but it is well done with a really great female lead who is both smart and strong.

I thought that 12 episodes was the perfect length to have a well fleshed-out story line without dragging it out or rushing the plot points. The portrayal of K-pop idols definitely gives fans something to think about, as their favorite idols are often mistreated and go through a lot of hardship to get into the spotlight, and I found watching this little group of idols very rewarding and interesting.

Overall I this is well worth the watch for any rom-com fan!

I can't believe people actually like this show. The acting is horrendous and the writing is also. This is like some immature kid show I could watch on Disney channel. I am a huge fan of K drama/romantic comedies, but there is no depth to this show. The fantasy aspect is ok and something different, but the 2 actors have no connection and doesn't play to their strengths. It seems this crop of new shows coming out of Korea are almost being forced out since they are popular to people. How about they take their time and bring a product that can be enjoyed by everyone. Ko Bo Gyeol seems lost in the show because of the writers and Kim Min Kyu has looks, but zero acting skills.

Really good drama! Seems to be suitable among young people. Because there is a lot of comedy! Hahaha i like it. Please I will give many stars! For spoilers I'll just say that it's a happy ending! So it's nothing to worry about. To the director, thank you for presenting this drama. To Kim mingue and Go Bogyeol, you guys are really good at acting, I hope this drama gets the light at the awards later. I'm proud of you. You guys are soooo cute haha. I wish you success always, and I support you alwaysuuuu! I can't say which country I'm from, because I prefer this secret identity of mine. Thank You.

Just an extremely bad script.

I know for a fact the actors are good because I have watched plenty of dramas of them, so if the acting is awkward and seems forced this has nothing to do with them.

This script just makes no sense, and not talking about the fantasy genre and story, but the reactions and reasoning the characters are just too dumb not realistic at all.

Chemistry is not bad and it has some funny moments but again, everything else is just unbearable to watch.

Extremely predictable too.

I am very dissatisfied because I actually love Kim Min Gue and he doesn't get a lot of main characters, if you watch Queen Love and War he was amazing there, and also loved him on a business proposal.

I would say, watch this as a casual lighthearted drama if you don't have anything else.

Cute cast leads this rom com fantasy drama. Sadly the humour is too simplistic and some is lost in translation. Some jokes are strained and After 3 episodes I wonder if it has the ability to sustain a series. Things start off quite grandly in the fantasy world. When the story moves to modern Seoul Kim Min Kyu looks the part but his switch into modern life seems too easy as he seems to adapt without much trouble. Body swap shows have been done many times before. Usually it's fascinating but here rather crudely handled. The lead actress Ko Bo Gyeol is sweet but her character is a little annoying at times. Most of the jokes are lame weak or painful.

This might be interesting for those into what idols lives are like.
