Some netizens even said that "it was originally necessary to exercise at this time, but it was postponed to watch Kim Yongsho's show"! Some people said that the plot was very interesting and were looking forward to the arrival of the next episode, but some viewers found it "very boring" and "not interesting", and even questioned "why did an actor Kim Yong-soo take on this work if he didn't understand why he took on this work."
Although the performance participation of a new generation of fresh actors became one of the hot topics before the broadcast, many people said after the broadcast that "the acting skills of new actors are so embarrassing" and "they seem to have only one set of acting skills and expressions of No. 1". SF9 member "Xi Xi" who was a child star was even named and received the evaluation of "who had good acting skills when he played "Huang Yuzun" in "Sky Castle", why did he feel regressed."
