Naver : Idol, I Put An Idol In This Spot… â€˜Acting-dols’ Who Permeate Dramas.


 


Five critics rate idol actors who recently lead dramas and kyungsoo gets 9.2 points highest score out of them. Praises were poured “the most prominent example of idol actor†“heavy acting beyond idol imageâ€, the others were seohyun, eunwoo and doojon

Idol, I put an idol in this spot. But we’re not talking about an idol groups’ end of promotion or even the comeback with repeated music-broadcasting performance. We’re talking about â€˜Acting-dols’ who are active in the drama landscape. Where the affirmation and denial towards â€˜idol who takes acting’ themselves still co-exist.


 


September 10th will be the first broadcast of Monday-Tuesday drama â€˜Hundred Days Husband’, following â€˜Let’s Eat 3′ which finished early just awhile ago. Both dramas are in contrast a sageuk and a modern play, even so they’re equal in point of having an active idol-group member as the male lead.


 


When he’s doing his acting activity, D.O., member of a top idol group EXO, goes with the name Doh Kyungsoo. One of the idols who receive recognition for their acting ability, as he received prizes such as last year Blue Dragon’s Awards â€˜Best Newcomer’ and so on.


 


Rather than sticking to â€˜Actors who are originally Idols’ label, we should focus on the acting skills and potentials of each actors. We asked for the acting-score of 6 acting-dols (Yoon Dojoon, Bona, Cha Eunwoo, Seohyun, Doh Kyungsoo, Dasom) who have been active as lead roles in recent dramas, or are due to take one in near time. The five critics who participated in this survey (Gong Hee-jung, Kim Gyo-suk, Kim Sun-young, Jung Deok-hyun, Ha Jae-geun) mostly made positive evaluation.


 


Towards Doh Kyungsoo who received an average 9.2 score, they poured in praises such as, â€œAn example of the most prominent ‘acting-dol’ for recent timeâ€, â€œActing skill that overpowers (goes beyond) his boyish imageâ€, etc.

comments:


1. [+505,  -13] Looking at Doh Kyungsoo’s filmography, the stories are about a hallucination, a psychopath, a student in a movie that talks about irregular workers, an island countryside boy, a visually impaired person, a DVD-room part timer, a college student that soon to be a rookie director, a soldier under suicide warning, a prince who lost his memory, a North Korean soldier… he built his acting experience while taking so many unusual roles, right. Putting fans-bias aside, experts and majority of the general public acknowledge his good acting.


 


2. [+368,  -18] Doh Kyungsoo-nim. Your voice are really nice~~


 


3. [+295,  -5] For Doh Kyungsoo, seems that the spectrum of his acting is really wide, though. That’s why, when he entered movie and drama landscape, he just appeared like the characters themselves, then people discover that those are actually played Doh Kyungsoo. This happens often. Especially, for movie â€˜With God’ ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I’d thought, where did they find the person who play the Custody Sergeant from.


 


4. [+193,  -3] Saw EXO D.O. in ‘With God’, and rewatched the movie again.


 


5. [+164,  -3] I guess it’s clear that Doh Kyungsoo settled his place as an actor.


 


6. [+51,  -5] Doh Kyungsoo, Im Siwan, Lee Joon, I truly acknowledge these three.


 


7. [+48,  -3] I’ve never had a problem with Doh Kyungsoo since I thought he was originally an actor from the start. He has the gaze of an actor… I think it’s rather cool to see being active as both actor and singer at the same time. I found that he’s also cool as the idol D.O. on the stage. Fighting!


 


8. [+41,  -1] Just by looking at the roles that he takes until now, it seems that Doh Kyungsoo is an actor with a wide-ranging spectrum. Whether the role is big, or small. Whether the character is nice, or evil. Seems that he wanted to try them all and steadily did a good job about it. That’s really so diverse of him.


 


9. [+31,  -2] Because actor Doh Kyungsoo is so good at acting, I’d even forgotten that he’s actually an idol ã…Žã…Ž His face is also handsome and likeable.


 


10. [+28,  -2] It’s truly amazing, though, that Doh Kyungsoo is also a freakingly good singer.


 


11. [+26,  -5] Woah, Doh Kyungsoo got 9.2 score, that’s excellent…


 


12. [+22,  -4] First, starting from his voice, Doh Kyungsoo is straight up an actor.


 


13. [+18,  -2] Doh Kyungsoo is tender, when you look at him. But if you take another look, he’s also strong. And that may be another reason that help him in widening his spectrum of acting roles. What’s more surprising is, all the characters were portrayed so well, that as if they had their own lives. Indeed the most prominet actors in recent time.


 


14. [+16,  -1] When he appeared in â€˜It’s Okay, That’s Love’, I never once thought that he was an idol. His voice is the real deal.


 


15. [+15,  0] In SM, that are in drought of good actors, Doh Kyungsoo is the most talented one. On top of that, he’s also a popular member in EXO. He’s the lead vocal and he can do everything.


    > [+6,  0] He’s the main vocal ^^

He's a good actor for sure. Although he has such a strong potential to have a successful solo singing career, I can see him doing better in the acting field. Overall, Kyungsoo is talented.

I'm not even an EXO fan but other idol actors/actresses need to take note from Kyungsoo. He very slowly started from minor and supporting roles to prove his acting ability and now is getting lead roles that are well-deserved. He doesn't leave you with a bad taste in your mouth because he's actually good (and has a good eye for projects too). Looking forward to his new drama! It definitely looks like it'll be great :)

These probably are people who originally thought he was an actor, there is a lot of them in SK, this shows how great he is as an actor.

True. A great praise that makes me proud of him, and it came originally from professional critics.

LOL tell tem girl, it’s 2018 and people still claiming that Kyungsoo is a lead vocal? He’s a main freaking vocal! One of the best in the industry by the way.

I acknowledge Do Kyung Soo. but Seolhyun? Cha Eun Woo? you can fill in the gap between number 1 & 2 with Im Siwan and Lee Joon. imo even Seohyun still above those 2 in terms of acting (I salute her acting in her recent drama).
