Just finished "Heavenly Idol", which I watched because I liked Kim Min-gyu in “Business Proposal”. I thought he was good in this show too.

I felt the show itself dragged at times and was a little confusing. It’s hard to introduce a whole extra world with its own religion in just 12 episodes. I kind of felt like I was missing something at first. Toward the end it got good enough to make me want to find out what was going to happen next.

For the events that happen, I thought the relationships should have been much stronger and deeper. I felt that the leads didn’t really have a lot of chemistry and it felt more like a brotherly love than a romantic one.

It was sweet and funny at times, and Kim Min-gyu played a great bumbling idol.

Probably won’t make it to my rewatch list, but still glad I saw it.

The Heavenly Idol

Pontifex Rembrary, a character known for his divine powers, gets transported to a new world while fighting a devil. He possesses the body of Woo Yeon...

I agree with this summary. I watched because I liked Kim Min-gue in Business Proposal. There are only 12 episodes, (I have the 1 left now) and only in the last 4 or 5 has it been truly engaging.

Sweet, funny at times, supernatural story with a different take on gods, but not a favorite and not for everyone.
