The idol-turned-actors' awkward acting has caught the attention of viewers and media outlets alike, sparking some heated debate online. According to the reports, the idol's "amateurish" acting are stirring whispers that it's a detriment to the drama and that he has negatively impacted the term 'idol actor' by giving all idol-turned-actors a bad name. 


In one particular scene in the episode that aired early morning on July 5, Nam Tae Hyun acted out a scene in which he rued his character's circumstances through tears. Some people severely criticized Nam Tae Hyun's acting as "being more awkward than the acting that idols showcase on variety programs" and have even parodied the idol's 'foot acting.' 


Some netizens remarked, "These days everyone is appearing on TV without preparation saying that they're idols it's an eyesore maybe if they had some talent," "Nam Tae Hyun: but I'm acting!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~," and "Seriously if you're not Siwan, please don't act it's not a joke why is everyone trying to act." 

The reports also state that rather than attracting attention for its distinctions from the Japanese original, the cinematic quality, and the message the drama is supposed to relay, 'Late-Night Restaurant' seems to be sparking greater debate around Nam Tae Hyun's acting.


'Late-Night Restaurant' still has 28 episodes left and though it may not be considered professional to learn the ropes of acting through a drama, there is hope that Nam Tae Hyun's acting will improve in the later episodes.
