During the press conference of 'The K2,' which progressed on September 20, YoonA was asked whether she felt any burden as one of the first idol-turned-actors.

To the question, YoonA responded, "I did have a difficult time when faced with people's judgement. But I feel less of [that burden] now than before. From the time I selected this work, I considered it a challenge to myself rather than as someone who chooses a work based on what people may think. I set the goal of challenging myself and attempting something new [with this drama]."

Best of luck to YoonA!

Sincerely, I think she is a great actress, i was watching the teasers K2, her new role is one of the most difficults roles in all kdramas, but she is doing an excellent acting. her role is catching all my atention! wow! she is surprising me a lot with her high level of professionalism. definitely, she is the best actress-idols and one of the Best actresses in her generation, No doubt! she could even to be beating hottest korean actresses. To be honest many "popular" korean actresses are not so good. I think that Yoona and 2 or 3 actresses-idols are better than these so popular korean actresses.

Honestly speaking shes not that great. Shes very pretty but not a great actress, as smaller roles she fits very well but her facial expressions are kinda weird. My favorite part about seeing her in dramas is the way she dresses. Something so plain makes her look so beautiful. Its pretty commendable that she is always trying her best to do different projects and improve herself, I just wish that she would take smaller roles so she could really focus on character development.

Goddess Yoona looks so pretty and multitalented, for sure! Goddess Yoona is The Queen Actress, The Legend and one of the pioneers singer-idols turned great actors! definitely, she is the ONLY ONE korean actress-idol turned The most successful actress in Asia. she also beating hottest male actors on List of Actors. her last drama reaching more than 10 Billion of views, Woow! Yass. she is Amazing !! now, i am waiting by vogue with Goddess Yoona and JCW slaying, so HOT visuals!

Yoona honestly suffered a lot from people talking shit about her being an acting idol, but she helped open up the road for other idols who want to act as well. I admire her.

In present, Most people are praising and loving her great acting. Most Ppl are also proclaiming Yoona as the best korean actress-idol and one of the best actresses of her generation.

fans will attack people who criticize her acting skills, but you know....she can't act. She has been acting for years so she really needs to prove that she can act with her new drama.

kwillgodkpop melenay • Wednesday, September 21, 2016

she can act very well! her acting is getting better and better. i-directors and k-directors also praised her acting!. But she not only devoted exclusively to acting, she is also dedicating to her college studies, her career as an kpop artist with her group snsd, she is also dedicanting as a model and also dedicating to her greatest passion: Philanthropist! . She is the most hardworking member. she can work 23 hours per day duringt all week per all months of year without vacations nor breaks. she is so strong and professional! she was chosen also the smartest female k-idol, she is one of the smartest actresses. she is multitalented, not just beautiful inside and out.

Yoona is pretty and I do watch most of her dramas, but they're far superior actresses that should at least get the opportunity 2 audition against her 4 roles she gets just 4 being an Idol. Still I'll tune in 4 K2....Ji Chang Wook has prove his acting chops ever since Warrior Baek Dong Soo.

Yoona has returned to kdramas after 3 long years, she only has 5 dramas but her acting/performance improves faster than the speed of light, she is the only one korean actor/actress surpassed more than 10 billion views and ranking #1 on list actors and actresses. her acting was praised by chinese/american directors, not just korean directors. YOONA is a GREAT ACTRESS!! she is one of the Best!. Many actresses of her generation have more than 8 dramas and 3 movies but still continue with their same roles and typical acting/performance, they do not improve as fast as Yoona. Fact: Yoona has every right to accept more roles, she needs to increase her professional experience. she is DAEBAK!

We just disagree, although she has improved since Cinderella Man/Love Rain and that improvement was on display in "God of War". But she is far from being a GREAT actress. Her humility and strenuous work ethic will hold her in good stead as she continues to grow.

she was great in you're my destiny, ppls ,directors and veteran actors praised her acting! she won many awards as the best new actress (x 2 times) and mnay more awards. tbh she just had a bad critic in cinderella m. but that was because the writer give her the worst scripts. plus she was tired also because of her excessive work, she was not just working in kdrama, she had also had to attend her college studies and work as an artist attending their comebacks, concerts, interviews, cfs, mc, awards, etc. she even had to stay awake for 3 days straight without sleep. she obviously must have been very tired, but still continued working for cinderella m. drama. if the writer would have given her a good script and if she had only worked as an actress (just acting and long hours of rest to study her script), I'm sure she would have done an better job.

korean directors and international directors were praising her acting in love rain, prime minister and i and gowzy too. she was just 1 bad criticized, just 1 mistake, not more, suzy and iu had 2 or 3 bad criticism, not more. While there are many popular actors and actreses who have 1 or 2 or 3 bad criticism (i.e: kim tae hee, song hye kyo, lee dae hae, ha ji won, kwon sang woo, lee jung ki, hyu bin, park shin hye, etc, etc, etc) but they were not so attacked by most ppl nor haters. tbh Most ppl and haters always are only attacking actors-idols, not actors. I'm sure that Yoona and some few actors/actreses-idols are better than many popular korean actors/actresses.

* she had just 1 bad critic in cinderella man, not more.
