fun premise, weak execution
The Heavenly Idol has a fun premise and talented cast but suffers from weak execution.
A drama about a priest from another realm swapping places with a kpop idol? The concept is pure fun and The Heavenly Idol is at its best when Rembrary is a fish out of water adjusting to idol life.
Sadly, The Heavenly Idol never manages to find a good balance between the idol and fantasy storylines resulting in disjointed worldbuilding, plotholes, and underdeveloped characters.
All in all, an unsatisfying watch despite the charming leads and fun set-up.
