Honestly, I found his performance a bit over the top in some scenes. The silent menace worked well but the loud moments felt forced. Still, good effort for his first negative role.

As someone who followed his journey from dance reality shows, this transformation is incredible. It's rare to see artists break out of their "image" so successfully. More power to him!
