In the end the whole was so much of a mess the individual lacking elements just feels not as integral a problem. MBC Wed-Thurs drama Extraordinary You probably generated more commentary than its low ratings warranted because it was the type of cult hit that was fertile ground for new talent. It sucks as a female viewer to say the men stood out more and the ladies were the weaker links but that’s just how I perceived the performances. Kim Hye Yoon was the female lead and had the most acting experience of the entire young cast but this was just NOT the role for her to play. She would have been a much better fit for the webtoon version of Dan Oh, bitchier and cooler but the drama version with her aegyo and forced spunkiness just drove me bonkers. She gave the obligatory post drama interview to the news media and discussed how she enjoyed filming the drama with so many close age fellow actors but felt that she didn’t really dive deep enough into the three characters she played (stage Dan Oh, shadow Dan Oh, and sageuk past life). When asked if she wants to play adult roles after two high school student performances, she’s not going to intentionally break out of her image of a high school student and wants to find a role that challenges her whether adult or student as it may.

I loved her as Dan Oh!
I really disagree with this! She was Danoh! She was the best of all the actors. She was cute but not everytime. She could really balanced the scenes. Danoh in the manhwa was more boring when her version was so alive! I can't picture any other actress to play this role. The way she could pass from Stage to Shadow was really impressing.
When the other actors had to chosen their favourite scene, all the scenes had Danoh in.
It was funny to watch the BTS because the other actors could hide their smile by watching her acting.
This show would had done better as a short online web series than as a regular drama because so many of the episodes were just fillers.
This show reminds me of Disney wreck it Ralph but wreck it Ralph did it better and did not focus on romance.
Her acting needs work, a lot of work but she does have screen presence. So I’m sure she will improve over time .
They didn't know what to do with the plot after the 6 episodes and it went downhill and never recovered. The acting was basic from everyone because there wasn't much complexity in any of the characters but yeah her acting needs a hell lot of work.
Naeun was great after getting awareness but Hyeyoon was terrible from start to end. The real winner is still Jaewook. The rest of the drama and cast are forgettable.
Overall she lacks as an actor her voice is annoying and her acting is ott all the way. She basically ruined the drama while the boys saved it.
Her voice is nails on a chalk board. Eeesh!
Does she always sound like that? I didn't watch sky castle but I remember she doesn't appear annoying in Goblin.
Her voice was intolerable in SC as well one the reasons I didn't end up watching EY. Loud and screechy is her MO.
She was in goblin? I didn't notice her there and I have seen that drama 15 times.
Webtoon Dan Oh was kickass!!! Drama Dan Oh was a snooze fest and I blame both the writer and her for that!!! She needs to work on her acting a lot!!!
EY is one of those overhyped cult high school dramas that coast on their flower boy male leads with zero character development and a vanilla romance. Not even worth a rewatch and if it goes down like all other flower boy dramas then in the future only one person will actually find real success. My money is on Lee Jae Wook because everyone else was disappointingly boring.
She's a wonderfully expressive actress, but her aegyo during romantic scenes with Rowoon was so grating. It made me dread their scenes together and not root for their romance unlike in the webtoon. Also, webtoon Danoh>>>>drama Danoh. I didn't mind the writers changing her level-headed and cold personality into the bubbly version in the drama, but it's annoying that they sidelined her character for Haru and made her too dependent on him.
I think Kim Hyeyoon will be great in a more adult role. I actually want to see her in a melo but with Lee Jaewook this time lol.
She said she would like to play characters closer to her age like a college aged character. In no interview did she imply what you wrote Koala. She did however imply that she does not have enough experience or fame to be choosy with her projects, it makes sense and she is grateful for having the chance to play Dan Oh. She was the heart of the show for me. I am not fan of Aeygo but Koreans love it so she went with the flow. Judging by how many times she was asked to reenact her aeygo, it is a trend that is not going anywhere anytime soon. Good luck to her. She will undoubtedly do well despite what a few naysayers have to say about her.
Very disappointing drama after ep 7 for me. The webtoon is way way better. The writer of EY totally sucks.
