L'Idole Céleste

Just an extremely bad script.

I know for a fact the actors are good because I have watched plenty of dramas of them, so if the acting is awkward and seems forced this has nothing to do with them.

This script just makes no sense, and not talking about the fantasy genre and story, but the reactions and reasoning the characters are just too dumb not realistic at all.

Chemistry is not bad and it has some funny moments but again, everything else is just unbearable to watch.

Extremely predictable too.

I am very dissatisfied because I actually love Kim Min Gue and he doesn't get a lot of main characters, if you watch Queen Love and War he was amazing there, and also loved him on a business proposal.

I would say, watch this as a casual lighthearted drama if you don't have anything else.

The Heavenly Idol is quite frankly a perfect romantic comedy. It has a very wide range cast of characters that are all so much fun to watch, with each one adding a little bit of flair to the overall plot line.

The story is fun, interesting, and just different enough to make it stand out from the crowd. The ML is such a wonderful character, just naive enough that the situations he finds himself in are ridiculous in a believable way that create genuine humor for the viewer. The romance is more of a subplot, but it is well done with a really great female lead who is both smart and strong.

I thought that 12 episodes was the perfect length to have a well fleshed-out story line without dragging it out or rushing the plot points. The portrayal of K-pop idols definitely gives fans something to think about, as their favorite idols are often mistreated and go through a lot of hardship to get into the spotlight, and I found watching this little group of idols very rewarding and interesting.

Overall I this is well worth the watch for any rom-com fan!

The Heavenly Idol (2023)

A fantasy-romance drama about an unknown idol, Woo Yeon-woo, whose body was possessed by Rembrary, the god of this world.

Pontifex Lembrary is widely regarded as having the most powerful divine power ever. While he fights against a devil, he gets transferred to a different world. Pontifex Lembrary then finds himself in a small dormitory and possesses the body of Woo Yeon Woo, who is a member of the unpopular idol group Wild Animal. The group has been together for 3 years, but they are on the verge of disbanding due to their lack of success. 9 hours later, Pontifex Lembrary is placed on a stage with Wild Animal for a live performance at a broadcasting station. When the music begins to play, Pontifex Lembrary, in Woo Yeon Woo's body, shouts out, "I don't know how to dance." The live broadcast performance is a disaster, but it attracts the attention of people and the media. With his charms, including a confident attitude, Woo Yeon Woo, still possessed by Pontifex Lembrary's spirit, becomes popular, and so does his group Wild Animal. Pontifex Lembrary must now get used to life as a member of an idol group, and he faces various troubles, like dealing with weird religious groups and the devil.

One Of The Best Drama I've watched so far. Kim Min-kyu is one of my favourite actors this is my first time watching go bo-gyeol and I am loving it it's really hard for me to wait for more episodes but the story makes it worth waiting.

Cute cast leads this rom com fantasy drama. Sadly the humour is too simplistic and some is lost in translation. Some jokes are strained and After 3 episodes I wonder if it has the ability to sustain a series. Things start off quite grandly in the fantasy world. When the story moves to modern Seoul Kim Min Kyu looks the part but his switch into modern life seems too easy as he seems to adapt without much trouble. Body swap shows have been done many times before. Usually it's fascinating but here rather crudely handled. The lead actress Ko Bo Gyeol is sweet but her character is a little annoying at times. Most of the jokes are lame weak or painful.

This might be interesting for those into what idols lives are like.

The plot is interesting had they not make the casts act like some walking airheads. Go Bo Gyeol character is very disturbing starting off as an obsessive fan then a manager who's job is just to say whatever as long as she looks cute on camera. Being a boringly cute face and being a fan are her only personalities. Nothing else. Terrible acting too. Why is she acting like some high school kid all shy and weird when she has a professional job as a manager? Also, Kim Min Kyu being a some sort of a priest acts like an idiot instead. He's just switching bodies not pulling out his brain ffs. No romantic chemistry whatsoever. Like uncle and niece.

I've cringed watching cheesy Kdramas, a feeling that sometimes i actually enjoy to just switch off my brain and chill, but this one is just plain bad.

They both did great in their previous series. I was excited to finally watch KMK as a lead character too. Disappointing, really.
