"Missing 9" is still struggling for its rating. Even though the actors and producer hopes for a high rating, their rating is still considered low, compared to other drama. The highest rating so far is still got by "Saimdang, Light's Diary". But the producer of "Missing 9" promises great acting from Chanyeol.
EXO's Chanyeol has been in acting before. His movie "So I Married An Anti Fan" was well received in China. His acting is also great. His previous dramas were "Welcome to the Royal Villa", "EXO Next Door", and many more.
According to report from Soompi, the producer said that Chanyoul wouldn't come up at first episode, but he would show up at the next episode and viewers could anticipate his progress in acting through this drama.
The story of the drama is about 9 people who end up in an island after they have a plane crush. They need to survive in the island with everything left on them. They build shelter and try to find food for survive. People will be curious of how they try to survive with their different personality.
It is a great project for Chanyeol to prove himself that he can act in a drama. While he has succeeded in the movie before, he needs to adapt to new environment for filming drama. But the producer praises him for following his senior actors really well.
Viewers will be able to show how Chanyeol grow with his acting. Chanyeol is known as a rapper in EXO. He has tried acting to expand his career, as well as D.O. Chanyeol is also known to be entertaining when he appears in variety.
According to report from Bintang, he said he was nervous during the first take, but his seniors helped him a lot and he could do it well. He wanted to change the stereotype of actor-idol and wanted to prove that he could act well. Being in a bigger project, he felt a bit pressured, but he did his best.
The rating for the first episode of "Missing 9" got 6.5%, a a bit lower than other dramas. Hope it will increase soon when Chanyeol appears in the next episode.
