Ahn Bo-hyun laughs and Shin Hye-sun cries... "Welcome, this is the first miscasting controversy, right?"

The ratings of the lead actors in the tvN Saturday and Sunday drama 'Take Care of This Student' are mixed. Ahn Bo-hyun erases the miscasting controversy and plays an active role as a sickly male lead, and Shin Hye-sun is criticized for being excessively set in her 20s.

Currently, 'Take Care of This Life' is on the rise. After 4.3% in the first episode, it rose vertically to 5.5% in the second episode. As the story develops rapidly, episodes 3 and 4 are expected to have higher ratings. The topic also ranked in the TOP5, ranking 4th after SBS' 'Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim 3', JTBC's 'King the Land', and the Netflix series 'Hounds'.

'Take Care of This Life' is a reckless reincarnation romance that unfolds as Banjieum (played by Shin Hye-seon), who remembers her previous life, visits Munmun-ha (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), whom she must meet. It is based on the webtoon of the same name by author Lee Hye, who published the popular Naver Webtoon series 'I Love You Today'.

Ahn Bo-hyun played the role of Mun Mun-ha, a second-generation conglomerate who cannot forget his first love. In the play, a character living a lonely life alone because of an incident and an unfortunate family affair that he experienced as a child. Ahn Bo-hyun lost 8kg before filming for a synchro rate with the character.

Because he was so tall and had a sturdy physique, some suspected Ahn Bo-hyun's miscasting, but it was only a concern. In the first broadcast that took off the veil, Ahn Bo-hyun was weak and weak, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

Ahn Bo-hyun, who exudes strength in the previous work, 'Military Prosecutor Doberman'. In this work, the face was completely changed. More precisely, even the physical has been changed. Excluding the bulky muscles, he boasted a sleek V-line. From his high school days to the image of a manager who leads a hotel, he digested it without difficulty.

On the other hand, the change and challenge of Shin Hye-sun, the female protagonist, unfortunately did not reach the viewers. It is said that Shin Hye-sun, who had a strong feminine image, dyed her hair for the first time and cut her bangs for her cute and lovely charm.

Baneum, played by Shin Hye-sun in the play, is 24 years old, 8 years younger than Ahn Bo-hyun's character Munmunha in the play. Shin Hye-sun, who is 35 years old this year, is evaluated as awkward because of the rather large gap between her actual age and the character. Shin Hye-sun is an actress who has been recognized for her acting skills to some extent, but the synchro rate of the character's appearance does not follow, breaking the viewer's immersion. This is why the two shots of the two people with the thrilling OST resonating somehow create a sense of difference.

'Take Care of This Student' is a 12-episode drama, and now 2 episodes have passed. Since it is still in its early stages, there is room for a rebound. The key is whether Shin Hye-sun can erase the awkwardness by increasing the character synchro rate as the number of episodes increases.
