It's not the responsibility of actors (KHY) who've made the effort to learn their craft to improve the skills…
When good actors are among their peers, they play off each other and elevate the story. The focus is where it should be, on the story.
When actors leech off of more talented ones, the discussion is focused on how they raised the performance of the lesser actor, not of them working together to elevate the story...
So yes, they leech. Leech - definition - habitually exploit or rely on. "he's leeching off the abilities of others".
I'll not keep my anger to myself. It's partly because we fought hard against KHY being left out and discarded after carrying the show that her agency got her a variety show appearance. Anger works.

You and lilchimmy seem to have entrenched her in the "Kim Hye Yoon raises actors" category... That's a big problem with the narrative around her, that every actor is expected as a matter of course to leech from her talent and effort. That's the thrust of the last sentence of your main comment.
Those who've leeched off her have gained so much, and I can bet earn more than her per episode, while she's doing dramas below her level eg Lovely Runner, Extraordinary you, and now this one... alongside YET ANOTHER actor who's not up to the mark. They offer her ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in return.
Saving poor actors by splashing them with her mystical acting stardust is not what she should be doing with her talent and accomplishments.
joy has never been bad LOL i would say she doesn’t have much exposure and her acting is just a bit surface level…
Doesn't have much exposure? She's done 4 main roles and guested in 2... How much more exposure would she need to improve herself?😂😂😂
And deep down, even YOU know she isn't good lollll, because you're hoping KHY rubs off of her... KHY didn't decide to become an actor to save those who cannot act, that's not her job or responsibility. your fave should improve herself on her own merit
The adaptation of the novel was decided on as far back as 2007.
"It’s a long story; it goes back to 2007-2008. ...... Writer, Jeong Seong Joo was there at the meeting, I was invited to discuss this project. At that time, I concluded that this story could not be dramatized. I felt that a drama adopted from a novel, mostly based on feelings and emotions, did not have enough story to go on. "
..... continuation....
"Writer Jeong decided that in order to do this right, the script had to be re-written. She discarded all previous versions of the Script and started again from scratch.
Last June, with a new three book script of the story, she asked to see me. When I listened to her, I began to see a possible value in producing the story. I believe Writer Jeong had a story she wanted to tell in a melo format. She had an idea of an imaginary couple in a secret affair that turned into ‘Mil Hwe.’ “
K i saw the first episode this is straight up not as good as to SLA.. I can't help but compare it as they are…
This and SLA are based on the novel Tokyo Tower. If you've watched the 2005 movie, you'd even see the similarity in the scene where the couple kiss as they watch the NY countdown over TT and the scene where they kiss during their walk in ep7....
Shit I forgot KHY was there when LJW made such an impression in his very first bit part role that Hyun Bin signed…
LJW only became popular because he starred alongside older more experienced women in Search WWE who elevated his star. The point still remains, that women build most male actors careers. Even in the AOS you mention, Jung So Min was blow for blow, better than him, acting wise... He's good, but the women around him are always better (except impossible heir (•‿•)).
