Though he has a lot of projects this year, it was not an easy journey for breakout star Kim Young Dae. He leaves everyone in awe with his stunning visuals, but some still criticized his acting, which made him a controversial actor of 2022.
Why Kim Young Dae Receives Backlash For His Acting?
After he appeared in the record-breaking series "Penthouse," Kim Young Dae immediately rose to stardom, he was even compared to veteran actor Kang Dong Won for his resemblance.

In "Shooting Stars," the actor played the character of Gong Tae Sung, a superstar known for his warm and kind-hearted image, despite having a cold personality.

Viewers Disappointed In Kim Young Dae's Performances
Many viewers expect the heartthrob to smoothly pull off his character, living the life of a celebrity, since he can relate to it. Unfortunately, Kim Young Dae ended up being criticized for his still expressions, particularly in the complicated scenes.
In addition, his chemistry with Lee Sung Kyung was also unconvincing to some, and the drama itself didn't do well with viewership ratings.
It has been said that after "Shooting Star," Kim Young Dae took time to hone his acting skills, but others were surprised when he immediately returned with a new lead role in MBC's "The Forbidden Marriage."
Kim Young Dae Takes Another Challenging Role in 'The Forbidden Marriage'
The series just premiered-and Kim Young Dae's role is way harder than the previous one because "The Forbidden Marriage" is a historical romance drama, and he plays the character of a king with a complicated psychological development.
According to some, after the first episodes aired, they were not surprised that the actor received backlash again for his performance. Some said that he did not exhibit the aura of a king, and his expressions are not expressed well.
Hence, despite the judgment he received from others, Kim Young Dae remains consistent in showcasing a new side of himself through various roles he plays.
