Idk man, arsenal military academy and mystic nine fall firmly under the fictional idol republican drama category too and they are leagues ahead in terms of quality. I shouldn't have even mentioned mystic nine here, it's on a different tier altogether. That minidrama the other user mentioned is also a cheesy idol republic drama.
And I don't recall seeing that idol word in there before. Either you added it later or I missed it. Point still stands.

Sick of people trying to throw republican dramas under the bus and using whatever corny things they saw as an excuse to say republican genre works are just like this if not worse.

What a stupid thing to say, the stars on the screen and the people behind it are all real, the industry is real, the effort spent shooting day and night is real, the cash and promotions are real, viewers time and money are real too. How ridiculous to say it's all lie and fake pretend. The only thing fictional is the story which they are bringing to LIFE for immersion and enjoyment of viewers.
Why do people get so triggered by criticism? Can understand if they really love the drama but you shouldnt be…
The lighting and directing too. The settings look fake and is ruining my immersion. Doesn't give that old era republican vibes at all. The plot is cliche and scenes aren't landing hard enough to overlook everything else. The leads deserved better than this.
I simply can't believe that, being such an amazing actor, he still doesn't have a drama starring in. Unbelievable,…
Because he's not interested. He has always chosen a low profile, highly independent career path. He picks scripts with strong psychological depth over generic, mainstream romantic leads. He also values artistic quality over billing order. If you track the characters he plays, you can see a pattern. He likes complex and often anti hero type roles that steals the spotlight from the leads.
