Article: [Exclusive] EXO Kai cast as male lead for KBS 'Andante'... official start to 'acting-dol' career

Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+2,164, -353] Sigh, actual actors struggle to land lead roles no matter how hard they work...

2. [+1,849, -308] It's his first acting attempt and he lands a lead role? What does that make the other actors? He should've started off as a supporting role

3. [+1,732, -279] His acting debut is a public broadcast drama lead????????? Not even a supporting role but straight up lead??? A drama is so different from an internet drama

4. [+1,378, -218] A lead for a 16 episode drama? You have to be kidding me

5. [+1,043, -179] Male lead...? Really...?

6. [+328, -81] Not only does he not have a face for acting, but no acting skills too;;; SM is really pulling the strings here

7. [+298, -79] Kai doesn't have a face for acting at all, just stick to dancing...

8. [+224, -59] Well it's technically not his first drama since he's done a webdrama but webdramas are a whole different world compared to actual dramas and I have a feeling viewers aren't going to react positively to this.. ã… 

9. [+288, -81] ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Ridiculous

10. [+175, -50] Usually people are more lenient if you start with supporting roles... I had no idea he'd land a lead role so easily when even rookie actors with acting talent struggle to land them

I haven't really seen his acting so I can't judge, but I am proud of him for landing the part nonetheless. I do understand what a lot of the comments are saying about struggling actors. If he isn't that experienced maybe a lead role shouldn't be for him and maybe start little by little?

I think it's too soon for a lead role in a 16 ep. drama on a public broadcast channel. Also, his acting in his past webdramas is really lacking tbh.  :unsure:  If he's been really practicing his acting like what some exo-ls are claiming, he should go for supporting roles first and get recognition and love for his acting, like what D.O, Nana, and Siwan did, then work his way up.

the hypocrisy in this statement is that when rookie actors/actresses are cast in lead roles they get accused of having a sponsor or bashed for not being good looking enough. It's like unless you have 5+ years of acting under your belt you're gonna get criticized either way for landing a lead role no matter whether you're an idol actor or a rookie actor.

im not being biased, i legitimately think kai has potential? i dont think hes ready for a lead role however for those who think he did poorly in his webdramas, i understand its your opinion, but it was nowhere near cringe for me. i felt like his acting was very natural and if you think he overexaggerated in his crying scene in chocobank im inclined to think you didnt actually watch the scene. i dont know i just dont see the cringe and awkwardness a lot of people seem to be seeing. what i am unhappy about is the stark age gap between him and the female lead, thats cringe. whether or not he can pass for 18 is irrelevant its that they are casting a real teen alongside a man in his 20s

Hes handsome and i wont mind looking at his pretty face at the screen

 

Good looking face might attract me to start watching drama, but im not gonna stay watching it till the end just because of that.

I mean its gonna attract alot of young girls that dont care about acting, i really hope for him that thats gonna be enough .
