I like Nana, both because she’s super hot and because she makes netizens mad basically by existing, but honestly I expected her to be a disaster on the Korean remake of ‘The Good Wife‘ — her facial expressions were gold on that Chinese drama, but it wasn’t even her speaking — especially cast in a major role opposite Jeon Do Yeon.
Like with Hyeri‘s casting in ‘Reply 1988‘, basically everybody seemed to think it was a joke.
1. [+1,279, -67] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+1,055, -81] Talk about a free ride
3. [+800, -55] I was wondering why she hasn’t gotten into acting yet
4. [+648, -48] Don’t……..
5. [+122, -12] Her nasally whiny voice though
1. [+15,356, -90] I was surprised too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+14,373, -116] She probably thought it was ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+12,062, -104] We were surprised too…
4. [+11,066, -131] Something about hearing that said out loud is refreshing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+10,021, -111] She probably wondered what crappy acting she’d have to put up with now
But after the first episode aired, everything seemed to go a lot better than expected.
1. [+3,921, -121] I was surprised at how unexpectedly natural she was ㅋㅋㅋ her acting doesn’t deserve any hate ㅋㅋ her facial expressions were natural too
2. [+2,700, -120] She was alright…
3. [+2,451, -198] Better than most idols~~
4. [+2,161, -249] Her acting was pretty good, didn’t really depend on the leads and all. I liked Yoo Ji Tae’s powerful acting, Kim Seo Hyung was charismatic and fit it well.
5. [+1,793, -134] Nana was pretty good!!
Oh yeah, and her character is bisexual.

I watched the raw video and she does appear to actually do well in her scenes. I’ve never watched the American show, but everybody says the character she’s playing is a good one, so there’s potential here to turn her public image around.
Probably means Orange Caramel is done though if Nana is gonna act and Raina is gonna do rap ballad duets until death.
