![]() ![]() JGS is another example of a fallen former child actor who is still riding the popularity of YAB but has nothing else to his name as an adult actor. ![]() Same with PBY who lost the movie star status by her late 20s. PSH was lucky she barely had any competition at her peak but the minute KTR and the likes showed up PSH started to become less relevant. Lets also not forget that child actors rarely do well as adults. Star power is every changing and the new young actors are not just crazy talented they are hard working and less expensive. Good script can carry bad acting but good acting can’t carry garbage scripts anymore. Writers have also stopped caring about A list celebs and the ones that still insist on it have seen their dramas perform lukewarm. Basically what I’m trying to say is that the competition pool which was previously 100 is now 100000 so even trying to land a good role is a task because anyone can do that role. Now with the advent of new technology, reality shows and Youtube/Instagram anyone can be a celebrity. The celebrity circuit was relatively small and limited even 10 years ago. This is true for actors all over the world. I think back then the competition was limited and you didn’t have a new face popping up every 10 secs. Honestly its a mystery why SHK or even JJH are popular since they have no variety in their acting styles and their last 2 dramas were especially heavily criticized for both writing and acting. Apparently all four leads are also rocketing up in Instagram follower count so expect the two leads Ahn Hyo Seob and Kim Se Jung will retain their lead status into future bigger drama roles and the two seconds leads Seol In Ah and Kim Min Kyu I see getting a promotion if not in their next drama roles but very soon to come. But since tracking started this is the highest spot for a Korean romance drama (standard or rom-com) so kudos to the ABP team for creating not just a well received light romance to domestic viewers but now international viewers as well. That feat is even more amazing considering it’s the highest ever for any romance K-drama to reach, but then again some earlier even bigger hits like Crash Landing on You and Why Secretary Kim there was no tracking available at that time. On March 23, 2022, the drama hit #4 on the worldwide viewing chart and on the US list it was #8. This is a double accomplishment for currently airing SBS drama A Business Proposal for finding success on Netflix in streaming.
