Best and Worst Idol-Actor (Boy Group ver.)

by - August 18, 2020

This post will be my hot take on some of the best and worst boy group's idol acting. It is my own honest opinion and this doesn't mean I am biased against the idol. I may think differently on their acting but as to other things too, we have our own different preferences. Even though they are from an idol group and just because I think a certain way on their acting, doesn't mean I have ill-feelings about them or their group ok?

We'll start with my worst because it's better to get it down and over with first hahah.

Disclaimer: Just because I labeled them as "worst", I don't intend to say it as the worst acting I've ever seen or something like that. I just needed a way to describe the opposite of "best". Hope you understand.

So in no particular order, let's go!

Worst Idol-Actor

1. SF9's Rowoon

Rowoon is one of the idol-actor that seems to be blooming in the kdrama world. As he represents SF9, I think it's great for him to get SF9 more known to the public. 

However, based on his acting on 'Extraordinary You', I can't help but to feel like his acting is dull and somewhat forced. It's so weird because Rowoon's chemistry off-camera with his co-star seems great but when he's into his character, something feels off.

The female lead did such an amazing acting that Rowoon's seems to look meh. I tried to think that it's maybe because of the character that he's portraying but then I can't help but to see otherwise. The love interest that he showed was very awkward. Maybe he gotta lose that I'm-tryna-look-good look and starts to focus on the real feeling. Bottom-line is his acting in that drama made me quiet disappointed considering he's the main lead. 

2. INFINITE's L
L's acting has honestly been one of the cringiest to me. I don't really enjoy his acting but I can't help but to watch his dramas til the end lol... Maybe because of my desire to support INFINITE. Well, the drama that got me to stan INFINITE was in fact L's. But still, I wasn't truly a fan of his acting.

I have no clue why it is so disturbing to me but one thing I notice is the way his lips move and his eyes look, always seemed unnatural. I really can't take in his acting and I wish I could see why people enjoy it so much.

3. Wanna One's Ong Seong Wu

I only watched one of his drama which is 'Moment at Eighteen' and I wasn't fond of his acting in it that much. He lacks soul in his acting. Made me wonder how he could land a lead role without much experience as it is. I get that his character was meant to be innocent and quiet but he seemed so "blur" instead.

At parts when he gets angry, those are the only times that makes his acting a little more bearable. His angry scenes were good but overall, I still wasn't impressed with the acting and the facial expression that he had most of the time. When he couldn't portray an average character well, the whole drama eventually feels uninteresting to watch.

Best Idol-Actor

1. EXO's D.O
D.O is a raved idol-actor and I could totally understand why. He plays deep with his emotion and could literally make us weep with his acting. To think that he's such an emotionless person in EXO, his acting is one of the best I've seen. He seems to express beyond his facial expressions and it's amazing how good his acting, his tone and his body language gets. He could pull of a range of characters very well and there's no going back when I said, he's a natural born actor.

2. GOT7's Jinyoung

I always love his acting! Jinyoung has a knack on making people fall for him whether it is through his singing or acting. So far, in all the dramas I watched him in, he is one of the actors with consistent charms and always gives audience a rollercoaster of feelings with his character. His dramas definitely resonates well with me.

3. 2PM's Junho

Junho is one of the most underrated idol-actors in my opinion. I always anticipate Junho's comeback into the dramaland. I've grown love for him ever since 'Just Between Lovers' and I can't believe his acting was so pure. When I watched him again in 'Wok of Love', it was such an unexpected experience because his character is so different but boy, he killed it. It's unfortunate that he doesn't act in dramas much. I believe he should get more roles considering how good he really is.

 

4. Super Junior's Siwon

If you don't think he's one of the best idol-actor there is, we can't be friends. Nothing can go wrong with this man's acting. His acting is so natural and he really own his role. When he acts like he's hiding his feelings, I could feel it too. When he's sad or happy, I cry and smile together with him too. He's just the kind of actor where it just warms the heart whenever we look at him and to me, that is what a good actor does.

------------------------------------------------

That is it for this love-hate post. I am by no means an acting coach or am good at acting myself, but I'm just an ordinary person who tries my best to enjoy different kinds of acting. At times, I have my own opinion which goes against the crowd and I think me justifying it makes me lesser of a bad person hahah.

Tell me if you agree or disagree with me on this list. I'm always open to other opinions and any recommendation. The rest of the idol-actors not mentioned are probably somewhere in between the love-hate spectrum 😅

Thanks for reading!
