One fan offered a balanced perspective, stating, "It's still too early to call it a success (because while I know the film did well and the reviews for The King's Warden are good, his filmography is still relatively small, and actors need to be seen consistently until their 30s), but for someone in their 20s, this is pretty impressive."

Supporters have also noted his natural talent and commitment to acting. An Instiz post said, "For real. I thought that he was just fit to be an idol at first, but he's freaking good at acting," while another added, "I think that he has a skill for acting and I need to check out his movie this time."

Park Jihoon's successful transition from K-pop idol to actor highlights the increasing crossover of idols into acting careers, a move that often requires audiences to recalibrate their expectations. His recent projects, including "Weak Hero" and upcoming film releases, are now closely watched by fans and critics alike.
