Das himmlische Idol

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.

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!

Korean Drama " Heavenly Idol " is a fantasy drama about a heavenly priest who suddenly becomes an idol.

Right from the beginning, the drama doesn't take itself seriously and it continues with the light, silly mood till the very ending. Thus, the whole heavenly politics/battle of good and evil was set aside and was underdeveloped, especially since it wasn't easy to make the viewer care for them when the rest of the story is a comedy.

The romance was another part of the drama that was awkward. It could easily be omitted actually without any effect on the main plot, as the couple didn't have chemistry as lovers and were better off as friends. Not to mention that their romantic encounters were few.

Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast and the CGI good enough.

So, overall, four out of ten.

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.

The plot is interesting had they not make the casts act like some walking airheads. Go Bo Gyeol character is very disturbing starting off as an obsessive fan then a manager who's job is just to say whatever as long as she looks cute on camera. Being a boringly cute face and being a fan are her only personalities. Nothing else. Terrible acting too. Why is she acting like some high school kid all shy and weird when she has a professional job as a manager? Also, Kim Min Kyu being a some sort of a priest acts like an idiot instead. He's just switching bodies not pulling out his brain ffs. No romantic chemistry whatsoever. Like uncle and niece.

I've cringed watching cheesy Kdramas, a feeling that sometimes i actually enjoy to just switch off my brain and chill, but this one is just plain bad.

They both did great in their previous series. I was excited to finally watch KMK as a lead character too. Disappointing, really.
