That one guy's history of Stanislaski and the Method is a bit off.
Ibsen appealed to the artsy set of Europe who saw in his plays new ways to address social problems and new ways to present theatre which is to say in a realistic style as opposed to the traditional style of declamation and artificiality. He strongly influence the playwriting throughout Europe in the late 1800's.

He was all the rage at the turn of the 19th-20th century and his plays were popular among all audiences who loved and appreciated well-crafted thearte. His plays were also often used by Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theatre where he was acting, directing, and coming up with his "System," which later became "The Method" in the US. The appeal for him was that they were realistic -- people backed into corners, trying to escape loveless relationships, etc. -- the sort of scens that you can use to perfect an acting method based on realistic portrayals of people.
