1. [+430] He's had scandals in both his private life and acting abilities, so why do dramas insist on casting people like him instead of all the other talented actors out there.. for the noise marketing?

2. [+263] His acting seriously makes me unable to concentrate on the drama

3. [+130] The fact that this is considered an "improvement" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+85] Sure, no one's born with acting chops... but the point of building experience, of being cast as the lead in several roles, comes with the expectation that you're supposed to improve. Why can't he just stick to modeling or variety shows? There are so many better actors, why does he need to ruin an entire weekend drama like this? It's uncomfortable for the viewers, it probably stresses his cast members out having to deal with his acting... Please just stick to variety shows. 

5. [+80] A weekend drama on a golden time slot... these dramas are basically always a hit with guaranteed viewer ratings, and if his acting is the reason ratings are slipping, he seriously needs to consider retiring his career...

6. [+77] Wow, his acting looks bad just from the screencaps

7. [+51] My parents were watching this drama so I joined them, and I was honestly so shocked at how terrible his acting was 😮 I noticed other community boards were more focused on how bad Baek Jin Hee's acting is while shielding Ahn Jae Hyun by saying he's improved a lot but I've never seen his previous drama so I'm just left wondering how he was able to land a lead role at all, or why he was cast at all? At least Baek Jin Hee is less awkward than Ahn Jae Hyun. 

8. [+27] Okay, but don't most people open their eyes all wide when they're enraged? It's not like you're supposed to close them? I'm not a fan but this scene didn't make me feel that uncomfortable. 

9. [+27] At this point, maybe he's acting badly on purpose to drum up noise marketing??

10. [+18] He just can't act. Must he pursue acting? ㅠ It's uncomfortable for the viewers, too

11. [+11] I was actually thinking he's improved a lot ㅠ

12. [+8] I burst out laughing when I watched this scene. He opened his eyes all wide and was looking like "I'm in the middle of acting a scene~ start!!" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Of all the actors to cast, why him... 😭

13. [+7] He was so bad in his previous drama that it made his acting in this new drama seem better by comparison

14. [+2] The poster child of bad acting
