Hae-in, if you are an actor, you have done well if the people watching no longer see the normal you. If they only see the gangster or a person with flaws, you have succeeded. If people don't like the person you are in a film, you have done well, not badly. If they are critical of the script, the history, and the direction, you have not failed. You are the vehicle, not the creator. And remember that the only figures that matter are the viewing figures. These can be affected by bad publicity but the film studios and outlets do seem to act when it is needed. When you look at online comments for K-dramas the spread of good to bad follows usual distribution. It is best to ignore the bottom 5%. They might be under age, under the influence of alcohol, just plain horrible or attention seeking!
