The Heavenly Idol

Really good drama! Seems to be suitable among young people. Because there is a lot of comedy! Hahaha i like it. Please I will give many stars! For spoilers I'll just say that it's a happy ending! So it's nothing to worry about. To the director, thank you for presenting this drama. To Kim mingue and Go Bogyeol, you guys are really good at acting, I hope this drama gets the light at the awards later. I'm proud of you. You guys are soooo cute haha. I wish you success always, and I support you alwaysuuuu! I can't say which country I'm from, because I prefer this secret identity of mine. Thank You.

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 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.

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.

I can't believe people actually like this show. The acting is horrendous and the writing is also. This is like some immature kid show I could watch on Disney channel. I am a huge fan of K drama/romantic comedies, but there is no depth to this show. The fantasy aspect is ok and something different, but the 2 actors have no connection and doesn't play to their strengths. It seems this crop of new shows coming out of Korea are almost being forced out since they are popular to people. How about they take their time and bring a product that can be enjoyed by everyone. Ko Bo Gyeol seems lost in the show because of the writers and Kim Min Kyu has looks, but zero acting skills.
