Shin Hye Sun Receives Flak For 'Mediocre' Performance
Despite being dubbed as the romantic comedy queen of Hallyu, Shin Hye Sun was recently put under the microscope for her "lackluster" acting performance.
Many viewers took to social media their disappointment about Shin Hye Sun's comeback drama. They claim that the actress' performance falls flat compared to her other works due to the lack of enthusiasm in her line deliveries.
In addition, Shin Hye Sun failed to keep the viewers' attention due to her mature image. In the series, she portrays a 20-year-old hotel employee.
Because of this, some viewers were dissatisfied especially when Shin Hye Sun was compared to Park So Yi who plays the 9-year-old version of the actress' character.
Shin Hye Sun's avid fans defended the actress, saying that her work was fresh and unique. They also believe that Shin Hye Sun will once again win them over as the story progresses.
