1. [+648, -10] I can understand just watching a short scence

2. [+592, -10] I can feel his bad acting through short drama

3. [+439, -10] Even the media can't talk about it …………. maybe it will help if the male lead is often lacking in emotion as in the movie "Beautiful Gangnam"

4. [+36, -3] Cha Eun Woo has the same facial expression. I can know how his acting is without watching the movie. People keep calling him handsome, but I personally don't like that. Looks like a celebrity in the 90s.

5. [+28, -1] Cha Eun Woo is acting like Kim Tae Hee ... opening her eyes wide and that's it

6. [+27, -1] I think it's ridiculous when people praise Cha Eun Woo's acting in "Gangnam Beauty"

7. [+24, -1] Is Father Eun Woo a robot? Express one color right

8. [+21, -1] I really have a similar look on my face ~ I haven't seen this movie yet but I think I'll ignore it ~ It reminds me of Cha Eun Woo's pathetic acting in Beauty Gangnam ~

9. [+20, -0] I noticed that everyone has an argument about acting when the actors are always wide-eyed like this ㅋㅋ Meanwhile, with really good actors, you can feel Get their emotions even when their eyes are not wide open

10. [+18, -2] He is the male version of Lee Yeon Hee
