Hwang Minhyun is a member of boy group NU’EST, which is gradually making a name for himself as an idol turned actor. This year, he once made a strong impression with a handsome and charming supporting role in the fantasy historical drama “Alchemy Of Souls”. Overcome with victory, he has just re-appeared with the movie My Lovely Liar (Don’t Lie to Me) as the male lead, alongside famous co-star Kim So Hyun.
Since this is Kim So Hyun’s first drama after a two-year hiatus, “My Lovely Liar” is expected by many people. However, after the first episode, things did not go as expected. Fans loved the two’s looks but were disappointed by Minhyun’s immature acting skills. After episode 1, Korean netizens left a lot of negative comments surrounding the young actor’s performance, especially the bland chemistry between him and his co-star.
Audience comments:
-Both’s visuals are good, but the male lead doesn’t seem to be able to act.
– Maybe because it’s the first episode, things are a bit messy. The male lead made me worry with his lousy acting, actually even when playing the supporting role in Alchemy of Souls, I didn’t like Minhyun.
– Minhyun is the male lead??? I was a bit surprised with this risky choice of the station.
– I think Hwang Minhyun has no acting talent at all. He should just go sing. I don’t see the chemistry between the main characters either.
– I hope he improves but his chemistry is so bad right now.
– At first, because both of them have good looks, I thought “oh, not bad.” But when I watched the movie, the male lead’s acting was so bad that I couldn’t continue.
– Minhyun should continue to sing. Or learn and play supporting roles for a few more years before taking on the lead role.
In the drama, Hwang Min Hyun plays Kim Do Ha, a quiet man who rarely communicates with his neighbors. He is a genius music producer but is hiding his identity. His neighbor is Mok Sol Hee (Kim So Hyun), who has the superhuman ability to detect lies. This causes her to lose faith in humans and treat her abilities as a curse that should not be. Two people bump into each other’s lives, making each other’s boring lives change completely.
