The story of mistakes and redemption

First of all I would like to say in general it was interesting. I’m a k-pop fan and I understand what problems this industry has. I wasn’t shocked or disappointed by the things are shown in Namib, I personally think that we should have more stories about the show business industry at least to pay attention to some aspects, but for me the acting level in this drama was too various.

The main characters, especially Kang Su Hyeun and Yoo Jin Woo look too typical, they are not people they are just characters. Sim Jun Seok and Sim Jin Woo look better at least thanks to Yoon Sang Hyun’s comedian talent and Lee Jin Woo’s youthful charm.

Lee Ki Taek as Chris/ Han Yeong was my absolute favorite and kept we watching the drama. His ability to act everything (literally everything: the pain, disappointment, hope, forgiveness and redemption) without any loud expressions, but so bright and desperate. Absolutely great acting performance, unfortunately the character wasn’t open enough by the script and screen time, but I can say Lee Ki Taek’s acting did it instead of the script.

I can say it’s worth watching if you like Korean music or want to look at the inner process and some examples of the problems here. And surely for opening Lee Ki Taek’s talent.
