The first episodes of the long-awaited drama, 'Scarlet Heart: Ryeo', has finally aired, and talk about the drama is firing up online communities everywhere. It seems like some of the actors, specifically IU and EXO's Baekhyun, are failing to live up to the high expectations set by the drama's build up.

Many viewers complained about the idol actors' awkward, unnatural performances, demanding that the two solely focus on music from now on.

Comments stated, "I thought they were competing to see who is the worse actor..Seriously, don't act from now on", "Heol... Baekhyun, acting is not for you", "They both suck so bad. It's shocking", "Wtf is this? Baekhyun doesn't understand his character at all. They probably used him to gain higher viewer ratings but I seriously just can't watch it whenever he comes on", etc.
