Interesting that you mention "reading comprehension" while missing the fundamental point everyone's making. You can't credibly evaluate an actor's talent without watching their actual performances, that's just common sense. Your comparison to assault was unnecessary and disproportionate, which suggests you're more interested in provocative statements than meaningful discussion. At your age, I'd expect a better understanding of the difference between informed opinions and secondhand judgments. I've made my point clearly enough. There's no value in continuing this conversation when we're operating from such different standards of what constitutes valid criticism. Best of luck with your reviews of things you haven't experienced.

Comparing "not watching someone's acting work before judging it" to "having opinions on assault" is honestly wild.
The whole point of watching dramas and shows is to... you know, actually watch them? Of course you need to see an actor's performances to judge if they're any good. That's literally how it works. It's like saying a song sucks when you've only heard the first 3 seconds.
Meanwhile, serious issues like assault can be understood through education, research, and listening to survivors without experiencing it. These are completely different situations.
If someone said "I think this restaurant's food is terrible" but then admitted they'd never eaten there, wouldn't that seem ridiculous? Same energy here.
If you want to call Eunwoo a bad actor who "just depends on his looks," maybe watch his actual acting first? Otherwise, you're basically just saying "I heard some people don't like his acting so I agree with them" which isn't really your own opinion anyway.
Just saying - there's no shame in watching something before having an opinion on it. That's actually the normal way to do things.
He’s someone who has shown steady growth over the years. No, he didn’t start with a classical acting background, but his improvement—especially in more nuanced, subtle performances—has been noticeable. Roles in Island, Rookie Historian, and now Wonderful World show that he’s actively choosing to challenge himself and explore different sides of his range.
In ensemble films like First Ride, casting isn’t just about raw technical skill. It’s also about presence, chemistry, and the ability to hold the audience’s attention—and Eunwoo clearly has that. His screen presence and emotional accessibility resonate with a broad audience, which is a real asset in storytelling.
So while it’s fine to be critical, I think his casting deserves curiosity more than outright dismissal. Let’s wait and see what he brings to the table.
I love the premise of this drama: flawed heroes who cannot control their powers. It definitely invites some silly comedy. I'm excited to see Eunwoo and Eunbin playing awkward heroes. Eunbin is great at comedy; I recently watched Hello My Twenties, and she was incredible. Eunwoo was so good in Island as a mischievous young priest, and I can totally see him nailing a silly, non-social hero. I hope they give them a romance line too—it'd be a shame to put them in a drama and not do that. I can't wait to hear more about the story.
I watched the first two episodes and they were even more fun, funny, and romantic than I expected. I absolutely adore the dynamic between Eunwoo and Gyuyoung. Even though I've read the webtoon, I'm super curious about how their relationship will evolve. Haena is such a sweet character. Seowon, on the other hand, is the epitome of an introverted romantic lover. My heart's racing even as I write this. Waiting for Wednesdays will be hard
