Her sense of responsibility as a newcomer seemed to become a burden, inviting criticism.
Opinions suggest that her lack of acting skills diminished the overall immersion of the show.
[TV Daily Reporter Choi Hana] Kim Ha-kyung has shown disappointing acting throughout KBS2's weekend drama 'The Most Beautiful Daughter in the World', failing to meet viewer expectations. The drama, which illuminated the complex relationship between a mother and daughter in contemporary South Korea, concluded with its 108th episode on the evening of the 22nd.
In this series, Kim Ha-kyung took on the role of Kang Mi-hye, an aspiring writer, capturing significant attention as a newcomer who landed a leading role in her debut project. However, as time went on, expectations turned into disappointment. Her acting limitations were apparent from the very beginning and became a barrier to dramatic immersion.
Tasked with portraying a 'spoiled youngest daughter,' Kim's performance failed to resonate with the audience, provoking criticism. Even in emotionally charged scenes, her inability to convey the character's feelings detracted from the overall quality of the drama.
The controversy surrounding Kim Ha-kyung's acting reveals a broader issue that transcends personal limitations, impacting the entire production. An unstable performance from a newcomer is particularly detrimental in a drama like 'The Most Beautiful Daughter in the World,' which relies on maintaining stable viewing ratings. Thus, taking on a leading role amidst inadequate acting is likely to degrade the quality of the show.
Additionally, Kim's inability to harmonize with the accomplished cast highlighted her shortcomings. While expectations escalated when juxtaposed with seasoned actors, the anticipated synergy was notably absent. This gap in performance further exacerbated her limitations, leading to disappointment among fans and viewers alike.
Lastly, Kim's failure to authentically portray her character diminished the overall immersive experience of the drama, leaving a profound negative impact on viewers. Particularly during emotionally charged scenes, her struggle to convey Kang Mi-hye's emotional depth failed to connect, which inevitably influenced the audience's perception of the show.
