I think that Heavenly Idol also criticises the kpop idol industry in it's own analogical kind of way. We have had mentions of stress(leading to suicide), diet, concepts, and slave contracts in just the 2 eps that have been released.
But who are all these magical bad guys and are they all bad guys? Are some of them frienemies? Who is the real big bad? And what is the deal with the Grim Reaper? What is up with that cult? More important, do I care about any of these crazy side characters?
Kyuhyun will be in tvN’s upcoming fantasy rom-com “Holy Idol” !
Adapted from a popular webtoon and web novel of the same name, “Holy Idol” (literal translation) tells the story of High Priest Rembrary who one day suddenly finds himself in the body of unknown idol Woo Yeon Woo, a member of the group Wild Animal.
Kyuhyun plays Wild Animal member Cha Hae Gyeol.
You can find more details about the drama in the Soompi article here. The first episode will premiere on February 15 at 10:50 p.m. KST and the show will air on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
