Renowned singer and actress BoA has recently made her acting debut on the cable channel tvN‘s ‘Marry My Husband,’ causing quite a stir in the drama community.
In the tenth episode, BoA‘s brief yet impactful appearance as Oh Yu Ra has ignited a controversy surrounding her acting abilities.
Despite only being featured in one scene, her character’s entrance was marked by a surprising revelation and a bombshell statement.
The subsequent episode, airing the following day, saw BoA‘s character evolving into the ultimate antagonist, threatening Kang Ji Won (Park Min Young) and assuming the role of the final villain.
Portraying the chaebol Oh Yu Ra with sharp charisma, BoA has managed to capture attention with her relaxed eyes and haughty demeanor, marking her return to the small screen after a seven-year hiatus.
However, not all viewers were pleased, with some expressing dissatisfaction and labeling her casting as a miscast, questioning her acting skills. The character itself also garnered mixed reactions, with some finding it unattractive or improbable.
Despite the initial high viewer ratings, subsequent episodes witnessed a slight decline, leading to speculation about BoA‘s ability to win over audiences in the remaining episodes.
The ongoing debate surrounding her acting proficiency and the portrayal of her character adds an extra layer of intrigue to the series’ future direction.
Korean netizens took to online communities to share their thoughts on BoA‘s acting debut:
“I thought it was fine…I didn’t think it was so bad to be talked about like this.”
“I just don’t get why the character of Oh Yu Ra is even happening.”
“The way she said her lines felt a little like when she’s a judge (on shows).”
“The character and the acting were all a little weird.”
“I just saw for a minute and the acting wasn’t good.”
“The character is lacking, and it doesn’t suit BoA.”
“If the character is weird, you have to be able to make up for it with your acting, but both the character and the acting are weird.”
“Miscast T_T”
“Not sure if it’s because of the character or the acting, but it all did seem very awkward.”
“Don’t know if the character is even needed…the character only exists in the original work, and was removed in the webtoon…from the audience’s perspective it doesn’t make sense because Park Min Hwan and Jung Su Min have acted like villains the whole time, and now there’s a completely new villain.”
“She wasn’t good at acting.”
“Her acting…there was something weird going on with her lip, so my eye kept getting drawn there.”
