REAL EMOTIONS OVER ARTIFICIAL PIXELS! ðŸŽðŸš« The latest news regarding the "AI cloning plans" from streaming giants like iQIYI is deeply concerning. The idea of actors like Chen Zhe Yuan, Wang Chu Ran, or Zhang Ruo Yun wandering through our favorite dramas as mere digital shells isn't progress—it’s a nightmare for every fan of true artistry.
Why we must speak out against this:
The Soul is Missing: Acting lives in the moments between the lines. An algorithm can calculate tears, but it cannot feel pain. An AI clone will never reach the depth and nuance that a human brings through years of experience, sacrifice, and dedication.
Quantity Over Quality: 14 productions per year per actor? That’s not "more rest" for the stars; it’s assembly-line production. We want quality and heart, not generic, mass-produced content fed to us by a machine.
A Threat to the Industry: If we start digitizing actors, where do we draw the line? What happens to rising talents and new faces if big names are simply "cloned" and reused indefinitely?
Acting is a craft, not a dataset. We watch dramas for the human connection, the fluttering hearts, and the raw emotions. A digital double can never replace the heart and soul of a real performer.
We stand with the artists who are fighting against these contracts! ✊🎬
I imagine the executives of these companies/agencies are giddy at the thought of no-hassle dramas all produced, written, directed and acted by AI. Oh boy! Only one name on nearly all credits.
No pushback from actors, no salaries to pay them, no contract negotiations; well, no more actors needed, period. Only thing is, I suspect there will soon be no more audiences, either. The newness will wear off very quickly, and people will want their flesh and blood faves back.
I know I won't be in the audience. Time to go fishing if that happens.
even the entertainment world is under threat now. I am not commenting on this exact matter. But I just hate the thought of watching AI actors. I really want to keep watching genuine works by genuine people from the screenplay/writing to the scenario building cinematography and obviously very importantly the cast. Even if I don't enjoy a work much I never hate it nor do I hate actors for their acting (if I happen to not enjoy it as much) HOWEVER I would absolutely HATE AI
I give up trying to follow the plot and just sit back and admire the actors. Instead of peeling away the layers, we seem to piling on more. That’s ok, I’m enjoying the ride. One thing I think I know is what Seol Ah’s ultimate goal is when it comes to the gallery.
Kim Jung Hyun looks really different here—there’s something off about his face. I’m not sure if it’s the hair or the eye area with the overly plucked eyebrows, but something feels unusual. Did he get a hair transplant? Why does his hairline look kind of strange?
The moment Kim Jung-hyun appeared on screen, I got the distinct impression that he was a extreme affection with mental instability or sickness , a psychopath.
Although his screen time in the early episodes was limited, his facial expressions and intensity—particularly in his eyes—were absolutely spot-on. It seems highly likely that his character, the second male lead, is actually a villain. He is such a phenomenal actor—his performance is so convincing, it’s actually a little scary.
Kim Ju-hy possesses a commanding aura ... drawing everyone's gaze with his charisma.

the psychopath bit makes so much sense. his facial expressions look exaggerated, like he practiced them in a mirror and doesn't know how they would look normally (this is about the character, not the actor, before anyone says anything)
I watched 10 minutes and started laughing nonstop. Damn, the acting is so funny. I wasn’t even planning to watch it at first since the actors are weak, and it clearly looks like those 100-episode weekend K-dramas made for the older generation. The K-drama feels like it’s from 2016–2017—it’s hilarious. Good luck to those who keep watching. 😅
If I were SHJ, I would certainly go first and not wait! Lol
