I watched Lie to Love before this. (which is probably the worst cdrama I have ever completed) The contrast is staggering, though I'm only on ep5 right now.
A lot of K-Drama actors can't act. Same mannerisms, facial expressions, look, etc.
Actually most of them can act rather well. It's very difficult to become a kdrama actor, there are thousands of very talented & handsome individuals that never make it, those that get to the point of being main leads in a mini series are usually very competent actors. The exceptions are typically extraordinarily famous idols, or Lee Minho.
Whatever. All we have is an unverifiable narrative & some awful texts out of context. I have sent & received my fair share of awful texts, that does not make me a bad person, just human. (plus I mainly care about the art, not the artist)

Even so, I enjoyed this article, especially the tolerance bars :-)
