Idol-turned actor Cha Eun Woo is an outstanding, but some netizens are not sure if he deserves this award in the acting category.

On December 2, at the Asia Artist Awards 2021, the “True Beauty” couple Cha Eun Woo and Moon Ga Young took home the Emotive Award in the acting category. However, while Moon Ga Young’s performance is believed to be worthy of the award, Cha Eun Woo has been receiving mixed reactions.

According to some netizens, throughout 2021, the public has been introduced to many great actors who successfully delivered emotional performances.

From My ID is Gangnam Beauty to True Beauty, Cha Eun Woo’s acting and on-screen expressions are deemed ‘monotonous’.

Some netizens claim it was Cha Eun Woo’s handsome visuals that carry his acting. Meanwhile, despite continuing to take on the male lead roles, Cha Eun Woo’s acting is constantly under controversy for being stiff and lacking emotions. Therefore, Cha Eun Woo being crowned the winner of the Emotive Award does not convince a part of the audience.

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
