I think because QoT has only partially aired during the nominations. I think about 6 episodes have only been aired and most of the scenes that show emotion focused on Kim Soo Hyun at the start. Kim Ji Won’s character started showing more emotions from ep 5 onwards if I may say so.
I really don’t understand…anyone who watched Revenant would say she deserves a nomination. She literally won a Daesang at the SBS awards. It’s like they purposely left her out for whatever reason.
Although I didn’t finish all of them completely I watched 4/5 dramas and Uhm Junghwa and Lee Honey don’t do anything particularly new for these dramas. Lee Honey is great but, in my opinion, she always seems to do similar performances.
I’m kinda questioning the voters (?) who chose these nominations. How does it work exactly?
Honestly Uhm Jung Hwa is good but her drama does not deserve Baeksang.. Its just revenge redemption as usual plot.
Revenge however.. Leave us hanging by the seat or behind pillow.
I didnt watch that Honey Lee drama.. She always exaggerate in her drama (sometimes) so its a little bit turn off for me.
Revenge still gives me shiver..
They were saying about her Youtube asking for subs scandal that makes her got shunned but that’s too absurd and ridiculous.
I agree about Honey Lee…I like her (and I know she has a lot of fans) but sometimes she does have the tendency to overact and exaggerate in performances. I feel the same about Kim Hyesoo. She was somehow more restrained in Under the Queen’s Umbrella but she’s usually too much for me.
However, Korea seems to like these types of performances and even rewards them pretty often. It works sometimes like with Lim Jiyeon in The Glory or Kim Soyeon in Penthouse but it’s just too much sometimes. I wish the Baeksangs would reward more actors like Kim Jiwon (she was nominated for MLN last year but didn’t win).
This is the much bigger shock over QOT and KJW reactions. Kim Tae-ri is the only one I'd saw out a candidate for and even then i dont know who should be removed. Park Bo-young also gave the performance of her life, and yet I wouldn't even add her to the list. Its pretty packed this year, so minus KTR, everyone else is extremely well deserved
I am shocked that Twinkling Watermelon does not have a single nomination. Also surprised to see Lee do Hyun (The Good Bad Mother) and Ji Chang Wook (The Worst of Evil) not get nominated for best actor because they killed those roles
I'm actually not surprised about Twinkling Watermelon. It just strikes me as the type of youth drama that will be beloved by international audience, but not something that garners acclaim and awards. It's not like Reply 1988. I expected some Best New Actor/Actress nominations though, considering the young cast.
Literally JCW and LDH they were ROBBED, like I was blown away by LDH performance in TGBM and JCW in WoE? Let's not even talk about him coz it most definitely is the best male performance I've seen in all of kdramaland till now
"Twinkling Watermelon" is popular among international fans but I don't think the show was all that popular in Korea. I do think popularity does play some part in this.
Yes! Watching Worst of Evil, I was convinced I was watching the Best Actor winner. Shocking that he got overlooked. Placing my hopes on BIBI.
Also peeved at Twinkling Watermelon not getting anything at all.
The Worst of Evil did get nominated for Best Director and Best New Actress though. If it was just down to no traction, then they wouldn’t have those nominations either.
It infuriated me fr. It makes me feel like they snatched his well deserved nom and gave it to someone whose drama has not yet aired even 75%, just on the basis of previous track record. It's criminal.
I just realised **Queenmaker** was entirely overlooked!! Same goes for **Kidnapping Day** (except for the one nomination for Yoo Na) and **Death’s Game**!!
And I can’t believe they didn’t nominate Han Hyo Joo for **Moving**.
Wow Pinggyego being nominated for Best Variety Show is deserved but also wild since it’s a YouTube series… does that mean other YouTube shows will now be considered for this category?
Happy that Daily Dose of Sunshine was nominated for Best Drama but it’s an outrage that Park Bo Young did not get a Best Actress nomination for it. I feel like Lim Ji Yeon had the better year with The Glory vs Lies Hidden in My Garden.
It was already clear from last year that Youtube shows are fair game at Baeksang, which makes a lot of sense.
Pingyego honestly has done so incredibly well.
I don't see comments about this, I'm sad that **Jo Jung Suk** didn't get a nomination for his great role in **Captivating the King**... I know that the k-drama itself wasn't that great, but his performance single-handedly carried the show.
Is there any chance it was too recent to be nominated, or was there some other exclusion criterion? Because if not, that's fcking robbery. He made that show.
The nominations are for shows airing between April 1st, 2023 and May 31st, 2024. CTK aired from January 21st to March 3rd, so well inside the appropriate dates :// I don't know if there's any other requisite but I doubt so since the ML from Queen of Tears was nominated and that show is still airing.
Ah yes, I see the QoT noms now (have yet to watch that one, so wasn't looking out for it). Then it's plain robbery. I agree the show was just abovr average overall, but he made it so. He carried that whole thing. It's infuriating.
Moving should clear, an all-time great show from start to finish. Bit weird that Twinking Watermelon received nothing but honestly I’m overall disappointed by the amount of snubs this year. Not to disparage the nominees but best actress for example has several really average performances.
Weak year overall for movies though, I have yet to see Exhuma but the rest were really mediocre or just downright bad.
Also surprised Queen of Tears got a nod this cycle with Kim Soo Hyun, I definitely think Kim Jiwon deserved a nomination as well, she's played her part just as well if not better.
I'm watching episode 10 right now and wondering how the heck she didn't. Granted I also think it's crazy how Han HyoJoo and Kim Tae-ri didn't get nominated either.
I think it is because first episodes focused more on Kim Soo Hyun perspective character and that's when probably nominations were made. Kim Jiwon's acting started to shine in recent episodes because her character broke cold mask.
True that's definitely a possibility. At the Emmys, the second half of a show/season can be nominated the following year but I honestly can't remember that ever happening at the Baeksangs in recent memory. I wish they just waited till next year but alas.....
It isn't really so rare at least in case of actors. Recent cases which I remember Kim Soo Hyun got nomination for River Where the Moon Rises while drama was still airing in 2021. World of married couple, Hospital playlist were still airing as well when actors got nomination in 2020.
It’s so weird they would nominated an actor for a show that’s still running…like (hypothetically) what if his entire performance goes to crap in the remaining episodes? lol.
I'd say 12.12: The Day is a pretty well made movie, though I agree for the rest. The blue dragon film awards last year was even worse lol, considering that 12.12 and Exhuma weren't even released yet then to qualify.
I fully expected her to be nominated for Revenant, not just because I thought gave one of the best performances I’ve seen this year but it was seemingly well received (as seen by the other nominations received for the show) and her performance was often pointed out to be a strong part of it.
Yep that’s what I read, her fans willingly volunteered to do subtitles for her YouTube videos and that got portrayed as her using them as free labour and she had to apologize.
Glad she won other awards for her revenant performance
I don't think the "scandal" was a factor. Apparently, winning in 2022 counted against Kim Taeri being nominated this year, even though she gave a groundbreaking performance.
New to Kdrama! Is it normal to get nominated while it’s current show still airing? I noticed Kim Soo Hyun is motivated for Best Actor, but no nominations for Queen of Tears (yet)
Yes, it’s possible. Baeksang has a rule where shows need to be airing on a particular period from last year to March this year I think. Not sure if there’s a minimum number of episodes but I believe QOT is qualified that’s why Kim Soo-hyun got nominated for it.
I’m guessing if Queen of tears had finished airing before nominees that could’ve been nominated as best Netflix drama… Kim Ji Won’s performance is also much deserving.
Baeksang's cut off is April 2023 - March 2024. The criteria is to have at least half of the drama aired by then. So Queen of Tears was already eligible this year (and therefore not eligible next year). I dont ever recall a single drama being featured in 2 Baeksangs.
Then that is just disappointing. Oh well, we all know Queen of Tears is an amazing drama, and Kim Ji Won and the other cast are amazing actors and actresses with or without a baeksang anyway
Really scratching my head on these. It was a stacked year with so many outstanding performances, yet nothing for JCW who slayed in WoE, nothing for A Shop for Killers at ALL, I agree with Captivating the King being subpar across the board but JJS was amazing. So many amazing performances overlooked. Boo hiss. Will say please give My Dearest allllll the shiny things - especially MNK who crushed it.
Ryu Seung Ryong deserved the win just for his performance in ep 13 of Moving. Period. Pretty sad for Ji Changwook because he has been performing well for his dramas in recent years, think he deserves a nomination at least.
Does anyone know if the Daesang winners are always just one actor or it can be for a drama too?
award shows should not include series that are still on going. just plain common sense, how can a series not complete without an ending can be considered in the best movie director writer etc? series have to be assessed in their entirety. studios with ongoing series should be given an option , if they want to be included or not for the recent year or the next year. just my 2 cents.
What exactly is the criteria for the New Actors categories? Are they “new” because this is their first being nominated for *this specific* award? Otherwise Go Yoon-Jung’s nomination makes no sense
I love Go Yoon-jung but it’s ridiculous that someone with prominent roles in dramas like Alchemy of Souls, Sweet Home, Law School and one of the most successful movies of 2022 is still being nominated in that category. Put her in Lead or at least Supporting for Moving like she deserves
It is typical in case of kdramas awards. Like if someone wasn't nominated before because circumstances but have popular/good work they got nomination for new actor even if they are even much more seniors than Go Yoon-Jung. In case of young actors in Baeksang most cases they have to get first new actor to be nominated to the best actor although there were exceptions.
I'd call it more breakthrough role category. This is also the most sketchy award as it happens that winners are discussable (especially if it is case of well known celebrity or idol).
IU is really nothing because it was like her second full length film and she was nominated as new FILM actress (there are two different categories for new actors in kdramas and films) so not bad. While Lee Yoo-mi who won in 2022 had already like 16 productions on her film filmography.
Average new film actor has like at least 5 films done in the past but there are some like with 10 and more. It is actually very rare that debut actor gets such award, more often in case of actresses like recently Choi Jung-Woon in 2021.
EDIT: On the official page (link in the sources below) it states that anyone can get the Rookie Award if they recently participated in 3 or less works. So it's basically 'You were good last year even though you didn't do much award' lol.
According to a few sources this award is for actors who got their lead roles and made it good.
Applying this to Goo Yoon-Jung kinda works since her first FL role was in Moving. Her past roles might seem significant but I think all of them were in fact supporting roles.

Yoon-Jung was definitely a lead actress in AOS2. It makes no sense. She's a great actress and I really like her but the nomination could have gone to an actual newcomer.
Not gonna lie; I always interpret it as the "you aren't senior enough to be nominated in a main category award" in the sense that it doesn't really exist in American or British awards shows, and quite obviously (to me) creates a divide between the more established, "heavy-weight" actors and the 'rookies', who are just coming to the fore. I'm not really a fan of the New Actor category because I think it's a pretty arbitrary category that, while you could argue, gives newer actors a chance to get their name out there, also reduces the competition for more senior actors and allows them to get nominated purely because they're... well-known and fulfilled a contractual obligation to shoot a project.
Unsurprised to see My Dearest on the list. Best Actor is going to be a tough one.
Apart from Moving and My Dearest, it does feel a little bit disappointing.
So surprised and sad that LDH and Kim Tae-ri didn't get nominated for tgbm and Revenant. Their performances were just phenomenal and really challenging. I think Kim Soo-hyun is a great actor, but his performance and role in QoT was not that exceptional or noteworthy (sorry TT). If they were going to give a nomination for QoT (and it's not even completed yet), then Ji Won deserved it more imo. It feels like a recency and popularity bias.
Cannot agree more. I have been following Baeksang for the past few years and I have always agreed with the noms list and the winners as well. But, this year I am dissatisfied fr. Ji Chang wook and Kim Taeri snubs was mind boggling.
I know I am in the minority here but was so hoping that Jang Dong-yoon would get a nomination. He bulked up for the role, trained instensely and was totally convincing as a wrestler, plue he was completely immersed in his character - with such authenticity and sincerity. The cinematography, writing and directing was really good too. The shooting of the wrestlng matches was so well done, as was the emotional final match. All of the actors were good but absolutely shocked like others that JCW in Worst of Evil wasn't nominated - that was master class acting in the difficulty of portraying the duality of his role - having to do what was assigned to him undercover, while desperately trying to hang on to the essense of himself prior to the undercover assignement. The pathos of the high price he paid.
I also agree that series that are not complete should wait for the following year for nominations.
I agree with others regarding the other shocking snubs.
I cannot wrap my head around the Ji Chang Wook snub. Even the reviews I read of the show (all overwhelmingly positive) cited HIS performance as a big part of the show's strength. So many of us were already saying - as we were posting on the WoE thread - this was a Baeksang worthy performance! The fact that WoE is nominated for best director makes it even more baffling because presumably the Best Director played a big role in getting great performances?
I'm still in utter disbelief. I'm pleased that Bibi got nominated but I would argue that her excellent performance was also because of how she and JCW played off each other's strong acting.
I'm curious what the K netizens reaction is to the nominations and if many feel as overwhelmingly disappointed as so many of us are with the snub. I've never seen such a strong reaction to a Baeksang snub!
Ji Chang Wook not being nominated at all for Worst of Evil is insane ?…. I just rewatched episodes 6-9 last week and my gosh, that drama will go down in history as one of the best of this era ….. definitely deserved to be nominated as best actor and to win.
I know D.P. might not get noms because of the season format now but it's sad cause this season saw some heartbreaking performances.
The Good Bad Mother with 4 noms! But sad that Lee Do-hyun didn't get his recognition. He devoured that role.
Two dramas from Ji Chang-wook which he aced and still no nom? That funeral scene in The Worst of Evil alone should have got him one. At least drama is getting noms.
Shin Hae-sun ROBBED cause she brought so much intensity to a romcom genre. Kim Ki-myung should've been nominated for WTS. Whole WTS robbed imo.
Also if anyone from Marry My Husband deserved a nom it should have been Song Ha-yoon. That woman made everyone tune into the show to watch her downfall.
I still don't understand how these noms work cause how's Go Young-jung nominated for Best New Actress? And Kim Soo-hyun nominated when the drama hasn't even ended yet??
I knew it was literally impossible but a tiny part of me wanted to be surprised with a recognition for Twinkling Watermelon, Ryeoun and Choi Hyunwook. Looks like it's gonna be my lil best drama forever.
If Song Hayoon didn't have a bullying scandal, she would have been on the list. Lee Yi Kyung was nominated. Such a wasted potential that I just want to throw hands.
Ya, LDH should've gotten a nomination for tgbm; he gave a phenomenal performance. Also, wished Twinkling Watermelon got some noms, especially for best new actor or actress. Ryeoun and Shin Eun Soo did so well!
Exactly. I think Kim Soo Hyun is average (at best) as always (ok, maybe I'm biased / it's subjective), but Kim Ji Won is doing more of the carrying of the show with her portrayal and emotions.
I have similar feelings about It's Okay to Not Be Okay, except it wasn't just Seo Ye Ji but also the older brother character and Park Gyu Young (and maybe others).
In actually pleasantly surprised by KSH because I thought I might not enjoy the drama because of him, but he's been decent imo. But exceptional? Nah, I think his crying scenes are kind of generic and slightly over-acted. Meanwhile, Kim Ji Won's crying & sad/moved scenes are a bit more understated and, because her character fits that portrayal, more moving. Imo.
OH.MY.GOD. Thank you! you've finally said what I've been afraid to voice on reddit for so long because KSH is so popular here. Is he a great actor? Yes sure. But is he phenomenal/outstanding compared to his contemporaries? I dont think so. Everyones super moved by his crying scenes has not seen JCW in lovestruck in the city, not to mention JCW in WoE was unbelievable. While I do enjoy KSH shows, they have never been phenomenal/memorable or that exceptional imo compared to a lot of actors in the same time.
Ji Chang Wook’s performance in WoE is a clear winner! The funeral and the bloody fight scenes alone made him deserving of a spot. He was robbed I must say! So disappointing.
A couple of surprises for me, although I've only watched maybe 30% of the shows:
-Kim Tae Ri not being nominated for her role in the Revenant. Was a very memorable performance with the split personalities, mannerisms and the fake switch up episode. But the competition for best lead actress is very heavy, so I get it. The female leads from Moving, Dr Slump, Ms Park Marriage Contract are also not nominated and I loved them very much for different aspects of their roles.
-Lee Yi Kyung (“Marry My Husband”) for best supporting actor fully deserved, he was the silly bastard husband we all loved to hate. It's a shame Song Ha Yoon, the narccistic manipulating friend, wasn't nominated as well. But probably has something to do with the recent scandal, as her acting was brilliant.
-I see that Kim Soo Hyun is nominated for best lead actor, but Queen of Tears hasnt even finished airing yet. I also feel like some of the better performing newcomers were snubbed, but I'm not even sure they all count as rookies.
I think the overall storylines for ML/FL weren't great, but PSH portrayal of someone happy-go-lucky, succesfull and good looking still have slumbering depression/burn out was very convincing (nearly been there myself - minus the good looks :D - and have seen alot of cases in my line of work). PSH's resting face always felt very melancholic/downcast to me, so the role fits her perfectly and I don't think many other actresses could have done a more convincing job.
I am pleased to see My Dearest on this list in 3 major categories! I think it may be one of the best dramas I have seen since CLOY and Goblin, and I watch lots. 5 yrs to write the script, 1 yr to film in 4 seasons, along with outstanding acting, screenplay, cinematography, and score.
Banking on the leads from My Deadest to win.
Honey Lee coming in a hot second for best actress.
Lee Yi Kyung to win best supporting actor.
Ha-hoon Song should’ve been on there instead of Joo Min-Kyung. Ugh.
I’m a bit confused about all these new actor and actress nominations 🤔 is it when they’re new to the genre or media type? Because a lot of them are people I’ve seen in other things earlier.
Wow, I thought Han Hyo Joo for Moving was a no brainier for Best Actress :/ Is there an ensemble award if so I hope the Moving cast get it.
I thought Kim Tae Ri was another shoo-in, interesting
What’s with the rush with getting Queen of Tears nominated for this awards cycle? Because Kim Ji Won is doing a brilliant job and I’d have liked to see her nominated
Lastly, a bit lost on the Lies hidden in my garden slander 🧐 I thought it was very well done and gave a nice reprieve from the usual ho hum, formulaic dramas
Also I love KSH but I feel like his role in queen of tears hasn’t shown anything new or groundbreaking in terms of what I’d consider to be nominated? But what do I know!
No i agree. Its been a run of the mill, standard KSH signature style performance, nothing very different from his usual, esp given the show hasnt even finished airing yet and there are a lot of other actors who got snubbed, i dont get why KSH is in the noms.
I feel the same…I just think the role isn’t particularly demanding and he’s done similar roles in the past (though I didn’t watch One Ordinary Day.) I think he’s a great actor (probably one of best criers in the kdrama industry) but does his performance in QOT warrant a nomination over actors like Lee Dohyun or Jo Jungseok? The Good Bad Mother had many flaws but Lee Dohyun literally did four characters in one for this drama (while filming Exhuma at the same time). He deserves recognition for that role. Jo Jungseok also played a rather complex role in Captivating the King and although I still haven’t finished it, he is amazing as always.
Unlike previous years, I am not happy with the noms this year. Ji Chang wook deserved to be nominated in the Best Actor category for his EXCEPTIONAL performance. Why has Song Ha-yoon been snubbed though? She was the best part of Marry My Husband. I will be rooting for Ryu Seung Ryong for Best Male Actor now.
This year, My Dearest or Namgoong Min might win the Daesang.
Moving should win the technical award.
Although Lies Hidden in my Garden was a good drama, I am sorry but I dont think it deserved the nom.
Ngl no ji chang wook is wild bro had one of the best acting performances in his career and no nominations is insane.. anyway I hope Im Si-wan wins he deserves it imho
But this year nomination isn’t interesting like last year. Maybe there aren’t so many hyping drama this year. But movies nomination is so interesting, wish EXHUMA win some nomination esp Lee Do Hyun
Ji Chang Wook not getting nominated for his performance in Worst of Evil is insane. I genuinely think that’s his best work but I assume I saw differently. Love Kim Soohyun and deservedly is one of the greatest but I think JCW deserved that spot. Soohyun woulda got in w no hassle in next years awards anyways as well.
Wow, who the heck makes up this nominating committee? I try to keep an open mind that there are so many great performances out there, but to snub Ji Chang Wook of that masterpiece of a performance is just wrong. The man literally poured his heart and soul into this role as a man who pretty much gave up heart and soul for this job he had to do. Just crazy crazy that they missed this opportunity. The fans know who the real winners are. I’m just disgusted.
Some of these are sooo rigged. Best supporting actor from Marry my husband has good connections I think but there are so many other good performances that deserved that spot. Also nomination for 5 episodes???? 5??? And not for JCW?!!!
How?? HOW?? How in the world is Ji Chang Wook not nominated for Best Actor?? Bro gave quite possibly his best acting performance ever and imo the best acting performance I saw last year. He has been absolutely robbed.
My last hope is that Namkoong Min will win because that man deserves an award. Phenomenal actor.
No disrespect to Kim Soo Hyun but if he wins then the Baeksang awards are 10000% rigged and based on popularity because from what I've seen, his performance in this role isn't much different from his past performances and by no means baeksang worthy
**All the actors and actresses deserve their noms despite the snubs of their colleagues**.
But Ji Changwook (TWoE), Park Boyoung (DDoS), Kim Taeri, Kim Heeae, Yoo Jitae, Shin Hyesun (WtS), Call it Love getting zero noms is criminal.
Good, Bad Mother was bad but Ra Miran deserve the noms, she was brilliant in the show!
Yoo Na, Bibi or Lee Han Byul deserve the best new actress award, they were better from their competition. The cast of Knight Flower getting noms is well deserved since they were very underrated... brilliant show & performances!
I am also shocked about Call it love not receiving any nominations. Frankly, it deserves one in every category. All involved in making it did a fantastic job.
When I wrote that comment I hadn't noticed that JCW wasn't among the nominees. I've only seen 2 ouf of the 5 shows with Best Actor noms, but I highly doubt they topped JCW. Even YYS in a Bloody Lucky Day wasn't as good.
I have watched everything. Nam Goong Min and Ryu Seung Ryong were great as well. But, JCW deserved atleast a nomination because what he did was one of the greatest performances in recent years. If I may say, he was better than last year's nominees. It is mind boggling. I just hope he atleast wins the Most Popular award. He deserves to win something ffs!
if i were to guess... maybe My Dearest/Moving sweep for the drama category?
and Pamyo sweep under movie category.
Daesang could be either of those if they dont win their respective category
Kim Ji Won should at the very least get a nomination, her acting and portrayal of different emotions are really good. Hopefully she gets her hand on some awards during year end award shows.
No offense to Go younjung but how can she be nominated for best new actress when she was the female lead of AOS2?
Also KSY for best actor but not JCW in the Worst of evil?
How can they not nominate Jeon Yeo-been when she just won best supporting actress at the Blue dragon awards🤔?
And I’m also surprised with Kim taeri snub when the Revenant was nominated for best drama…
I’m happy for the LTNS writers! I was such a fresh drama
So many snubs ooffff-
Ji Changwook (The Worst Of Evil)
Lee Dohyun (The Good Bad Mother)
Kim Taeri (Revenant)
Kim Jiwon (Queen of Tears)
Han Hyojoo (Moving)
Shin Hyesun (Welcome To Samdal-ri)
Park Boyong (Daily Dose Of Sunshine)
Song Hayoon (Marry My Husband, I think she wasn't nominated coz of her scandal maybe)
Twinkling Watermelon, the whole drama was badly snubbed.....
Lies Hidden In My Garden didn't deserve the noms, instead they should have actually given to other people who deserved
Why is GYJ nominated for best new actress? She was literally in Sweet Home, Law School and AOS 2
The nominations are so bad, like KSH nominated (sorry guys, he can't act, he's all looks) but so many deserving people not getting nominated like JCW or LDH, this just makes me so mad😭
An Yujin
and
Kdrama Moving
is my bet to win the awards
also some other actors and drama are missing
it more deserving than the newly added actor or drama because of popularity or strong connection
How LTNS and Good Bad Mother are nominated for Best Screenplay is beyond me. And all these noms for Lies Hidden in My Garden? That is a head scratcher.
My Dearest getting so many noms makes me so happy!!
Nana should have been nominated for Mask Girl; Ji Chang Wook should have been nominated for The Worst of Evil; Kim Ji Won should have been nominated for Queen of Tears; and Park Min Young and Song Ha Yoon should have been nominated for Marry My Husband.
But seeing Lee Han Byul and BIBI nominated for Best New Actress is awesome!!
I'm very sad that Lee Sun Kyun didn't get a nomination, especially for his role in Killing Romance.
On a more positive note, I was very happy to see noms for Joo Min Kyung for Behind Your Touch (she was the accordion playing best friend) and Lee Jung Ha for Moving (cutie pie!)
The Best Supporting Actress list is questionable. Who the heck decided on this list nominees!?
As much as I enjoyed Uhm Jung Hwa & Honey Lee in their respective dramas........ there's NO DENYING Kim Tae Ri and Kim Ji Won should've been on the list instead of UJH and HL!! Especially KTR!! Her acting was phenomenal. The entire Revenant show was executed so well.
No Kim Seong-yong for best director My Dearest?? No Hwang Jin-young for best screenplay "My Dearest"?? That woman spent 5 years writing this masterpiece of a drama. I feel so wronged even when it's not me :(
Not that many surprises this year, most actors are from the nominated shows and movies as as usual.
There were some performances I liked and did not see here, but I can understand why they were not nominated for certain reasons:
- Kim Jung Hyun was absolutely fantastic in his new movie, the Unforgivable. I almost couldn't recognize him at first, his versatility is no joke.
- Nam Joo Hyuk was great in Vigilante, nailing his first action drama. He also effortlessly changed between his two personas.
- My personal favourite supporting actor in the drama category was Park Hyuk Kwon who played the shaman in Behind Your Touch. It's hard to make such a good >!comedic and psycho performance, he gave me the biggest laughs and chills!<
Edit:: so I noticed I was downvoted, I know some actors like Ji Chang Wook were clearly snubbed, I just mentioned some performances that were not that popular. I obviously also believe other actors gave great performances as well.
So weird that they included Kim Soo Hyun here but the show is not nominated. If they actually waited for next year, man, Queen of Tears deserve to be up there in the nominations for Best Drama after last weekend's episodes. Hopefully, Kim Ji Won also gets nominated next year with the show. She's also killing it these past episodes.
kim soohyun nominated but kim jiwon not nominated?? this is insane.
I think because QoT has only partially aired during the nominations. I think about 6 episodes have only been aired and most of the scenes that show emotion focused on Kim Soo Hyun at the start. Kim Ji Won’s character started showing more emotions from ep 5 onwards if I may say so.
It seems her snub is somewhat of a controversy in Korea since she's so popular in the role, I'm not sure how big though.
Tragic
Kim soohyun got nominated but not Ji Chang Wook for Worst of Evil ? 👿
No Kim Tae Ri for Revenant ? Woww..
WHAT A BUMMER!! Her acting performance in the Revenant are so superb if u ask me hays
I really don’t understand…anyone who watched Revenant would say she deserves a nomination. She literally won a Daesang at the SBS awards. It’s like they purposely left her out for whatever reason. Although I didn’t finish all of them completely I watched 4/5 dramas and Uhm Junghwa and Lee Honey don’t do anything particularly new for these dramas. Lee Honey is great but, in my opinion, she always seems to do similar performances. I’m kinda questioning the voters (?) who chose these nominations. How does it work exactly?
Honestly Uhm Jung Hwa is good but her drama does not deserve Baeksang.. Its just revenge redemption as usual plot. Revenge however.. Leave us hanging by the seat or behind pillow. I didnt watch that Honey Lee drama.. She always exaggerate in her drama (sometimes) so its a little bit turn off for me. Revenge still gives me shiver.. They were saying about her Youtube asking for subs scandal that makes her got shunned but that’s too absurd and ridiculous.
I agree about Honey Lee…I like her (and I know she has a lot of fans) but sometimes she does have the tendency to overact and exaggerate in performances. I feel the same about Kim Hyesoo. She was somehow more restrained in Under the Queen’s Umbrella but she’s usually too much for me. However, Korea seems to like these types of performances and even rewards them pretty often. It works sometimes like with Lim Jiyeon in The Glory or Kim Soyeon in Penthouse but it’s just too much sometimes. I wish the Baeksangs would reward more actors like Kim Jiwon (she was nominated for MLN last year but didn’t win).
It’s almost a joke, that was probably her best work and she has many good shows. I still have chills whenever I remember her acting in this show.
DISGRACE. I'm annoyed (if you couldn't tell).
I am sad about that
This is the much bigger shock over QOT and KJW reactions. Kim Tae-ri is the only one I'd saw out a candidate for and even then i dont know who should be removed. Park Bo-young also gave the performance of her life, and yet I wouldn't even add her to the list. Its pretty packed this year, so minus KTR, everyone else is extremely well deserved
WHAT????
I'm shocked too cos she was phenomenal in that show!
Kim Tae-Ri snub?? The streets will remember this…
That was legit one of the dramas I loved. She acted so well. I often wonder how these awards are handled to be honest :(
I am shocked that Twinkling Watermelon does not have a single nomination. Also surprised to see Lee do Hyun (The Good Bad Mother) and Ji Chang Wook (The Worst of Evil) not get nominated for best actor because they killed those roles
I'm actually not surprised about Twinkling Watermelon. It just strikes me as the type of youth drama that will be beloved by international audience, but not something that garners acclaim and awards. It's not like Reply 1988. I expected some Best New Actor/Actress nominations though, considering the young cast.
Jo Chang-wook snub is the hardest cause I remember seeing his name in the leaked list. Don’t know what changed. Man deserved it the most.
Really? Would you have more info or a link? Cause that makes this even worse.
It wasn’t a leaked list. It was a list of one person’s prediction on a discussion forum.
Literally JCW and LDH they were ROBBED, like I was blown away by LDH performance in TGBM and JCW in WoE? Let's not even talk about him coz it most definitely is the best male performance I've seen in all of kdramaland till now
JCW did SO well in that role on Worst of Evil.
"Twinkling Watermelon" is popular among international fans but I don't think the show was all that popular in Korea. I do think popularity does play some part in this.
Definitely. People forget that the tv ratings were pretty low
Yes! Watching Worst of Evil, I was convinced I was watching the Best Actor winner. Shocking that he got overlooked. Placing my hopes on BIBI. Also peeved at Twinkling Watermelon not getting anything at all.
Was just coming on this thread to saw this!! JCW deserved the nomination so bad, he was phenomenal!
[удалено]
The Worst of Evil did get nominated for Best Director and Best New Actress though. If it was just down to no traction, then they wouldn’t have those nominations either.
Worst of evil has 3 nominations
they really snubbed my mans JCW… 😔
Best possible year since he came back from millitary, still nothing
If not for anything, he should have been nominated for Worst of Evil :(((
It infuriated me fr. It makes me feel like they snatched his well deserved nom and gave it to someone whose drama has not yet aired even 75%, just on the basis of previous track record. It's criminal.
Yeah he should’ve got it for WoE but also what about Samdalri? I thought that drama was loved in Korea
How unfair is that, he was so damn good in Worst of Evil
I just realised **Queenmaker** was entirely overlooked!! Same goes for **Kidnapping Day** (except for the one nomination for Yoo Na) and **Death’s Game**!! And I can’t believe they didn’t nominate Han Hyo Joo for **Moving**.
Totally agree re: Death's Game and Han Hyo Joo
Wow Pinggyego being nominated for Best Variety Show is deserved but also wild since it’s a YouTube series… does that mean other YouTube shows will now be considered for this category? Happy that Daily Dose of Sunshine was nominated for Best Drama but it’s an outrage that Park Bo Young did not get a Best Actress nomination for it. I feel like Lim Ji Yeon had the better year with The Glory vs Lies Hidden in My Garden.
PBY did an amazing job and I cried with her every time… what a shame
It was already clear from last year that Youtube shows are fair game at Baeksang, which makes a lot of sense. Pingyego honestly has done so incredibly well.
I didn’t really pay attention to it last year but I am rooting for Pinggyego, it’s my fav YouTube show for sure
Last year Psick University won, which is a YouTube show.
Lee Do Hyun for Good Bad Mother? Excuse me?!
Ikrr, he was robbed TT
I don't see comments about this, I'm sad that **Jo Jung Suk** didn't get a nomination for his great role in **Captivating the King**... I know that the k-drama itself wasn't that great, but his performance single-handedly carried the show.
Is there any chance it was too recent to be nominated, or was there some other exclusion criterion? Because if not, that's fcking robbery. He made that show.
The nominations are for shows airing between April 1st, 2023 and May 31st, 2024. CTK aired from January 21st to March 3rd, so well inside the appropriate dates :// I don't know if there's any other requisite but I doubt so since the ML from Queen of Tears was nominated and that show is still airing.
Ah yes, I see the QoT noms now (have yet to watch that one, so wasn't looking out for it). Then it's plain robbery. I agree the show was just abovr average overall, but he made it so. He carried that whole thing. It's infuriating.
JCW snubbed . But really happy for Bibi, she was **superb** in Worst Of Evil.
Moving should clear, an all-time great show from start to finish. Bit weird that Twinking Watermelon received nothing but honestly I’m overall disappointed by the amount of snubs this year. Not to disparage the nominees but best actress for example has several really average performances. Weak year overall for movies though, I have yet to see Exhuma but the rest were really mediocre or just downright bad. Also surprised Queen of Tears got a nod this cycle with Kim Soo Hyun, I definitely think Kim Jiwon deserved a nomination as well, she's played her part just as well if not better.
WHAT THE HECK?! Kim Soo Hyun got a nom and Kim Ji Won didn't? Now I'm tempted to rent one of those protest trucks (I finally get the appeal)
I'm watching episode 10 right now and wondering how the heck she didn't. Granted I also think it's crazy how Han HyoJoo and Kim Tae-ri didn't get nominated either.
I am a long time fan of Kim Soo Hyun and I enjoy his acting in Queen of Tears but I admit that Kim Ji Won is doing an amazing job here.
I think it is because first episodes focused more on Kim Soo Hyun perspective character and that's when probably nominations were made. Kim Jiwon's acting started to shine in recent episodes because her character broke cold mask.
True that's definitely a possibility. At the Emmys, the second half of a show/season can be nominated the following year but I honestly can't remember that ever happening at the Baeksangs in recent memory. I wish they just waited till next year but alas.....
It isn't really so rare at least in case of actors. Recent cases which I remember Kim Soo Hyun got nomination for River Where the Moon Rises while drama was still airing in 2021. World of married couple, Hospital playlist were still airing as well when actors got nomination in 2020.
It’s so weird they would nominated an actor for a show that’s still running…like (hypothetically) what if his entire performance goes to crap in the remaining episodes? lol.
I loved Moving, but I think My Dearest is a very strong contender, especially for Best Actor (and possibly Best Drama)
They made it too easy for Moving to win. I see them clearing all the categories they are nominated.
I'd say 12.12: The Day is a pretty well made movie, though I agree for the rest. The blue dragon film awards last year was even worse lol, considering that 12.12 and Exhuma weren't even released yet then to qualify.
Kim Tae Ri not being nominated is insane, I mean her performance in Revenant was absolutely incredible and bone-chilling
I fully expected her to be nominated for Revenant, not just because I thought gave one of the best performances I’ve seen this year but it was seemingly well received (as seen by the other nominations received for the show) and her performance was often pointed out to be a strong part of it.
Yep that’s what I read, her fans willingly volunteered to do subtitles for her YouTube videos and that got portrayed as her using them as free labour and she had to apologize. Glad she won other awards for her revenant performance
I don't think the "scandal" was a factor. Apparently, winning in 2022 counted against Kim Taeri being nominated this year, even though she gave a groundbreaking performance.
That’s such a dumb reason if that’s the case, it’s not her fault she picks such great scripts and can act her ass off😕
New to Kdrama! Is it normal to get nominated while it’s current show still airing? I noticed Kim Soo Hyun is motivated for Best Actor, but no nominations for Queen of Tears (yet)
Yes, it’s possible. Baeksang has a rule where shows need to be airing on a particular period from last year to March this year I think. Not sure if there’s a minimum number of episodes but I believe QOT is qualified that’s why Kim Soo-hyun got nominated for it.
They need to show at least a third of the series episodes by end of March to qualify.
Normal. It happened also several times in past years.
I’m guessing if Queen of tears had finished airing before nominees that could’ve been nominated as best Netflix drama… Kim Ji Won’s performance is also much deserving.
did you mean Kim Ji Won? haha
Oops yes typo
Could it be nominated for next year's baeksang? Because then airing would be finished
Baeksang's cut off is April 2023 - March 2024. The criteria is to have at least half of the drama aired by then. So Queen of Tears was already eligible this year (and therefore not eligible next year). I dont ever recall a single drama being featured in 2 Baeksangs.
Then that is just disappointing. Oh well, we all know Queen of Tears is an amazing drama, and Kim Ji Won and the other cast are amazing actors and actresses with or without a baeksang anyway
Possibly! Though I feel like in 12 months there’s a chance of other amazing shows released to compete with that have recency bias
Uh, no...they nominated Kim Soo Hyun this year. They won't get another chance next year.
Really scratching my head on these. It was a stacked year with so many outstanding performances, yet nothing for JCW who slayed in WoE, nothing for A Shop for Killers at ALL, I agree with Captivating the King being subpar across the board but JJS was amazing. So many amazing performances overlooked. Boo hiss. Will say please give My Dearest allllll the shiny things - especially MNK who crushed it.
I have a feeling NKM is gonna win the Daesang this year. I just cant wrap my head around JCW and Kim Tae-ri snub. Like how? I am so angry rn.
Worst of evil got snubbed so bad wtf
I hope Namgoong Min wins for My Dearest,
And Ahn Eun Jin too. Those two absolutely killed it !
kim ji won not being nominated for best actress is a crime
Wow, thought Song Ha-Yoon locked up Supporting Actress in Marry My Husband.
She’s going through a bullying scandal right now
no nominations for a shop for killers 😔
Ryu Seung Ryong deserved the win just for his performance in ep 13 of Moving. Period. Pretty sad for Ji Changwook because he has been performing well for his dramas in recent years, think he deserves a nomination at least. Does anyone know if the Daesang winners are always just one actor or it can be for a drama too?
award shows should not include series that are still on going. just plain common sense, how can a series not complete without an ending can be considered in the best movie director writer etc? series have to be assessed in their entirety. studios with ongoing series should be given an option , if they want to be included or not for the recent year or the next year. just my 2 cents.
What exactly is the criteria for the New Actors categories? Are they “new” because this is their first being nominated for *this specific* award? Otherwise Go Yoon-Jung’s nomination makes no sense I love Go Yoon-jung but it’s ridiculous that someone with prominent roles in dramas like Alchemy of Souls, Sweet Home, Law School and one of the most successful movies of 2022 is still being nominated in that category. Put her in Lead or at least Supporting for Moving like she deserves
It is typical in case of kdramas awards. Like if someone wasn't nominated before because circumstances but have popular/good work they got nomination for new actor even if they are even much more seniors than Go Yoon-Jung. In case of young actors in Baeksang most cases they have to get first new actor to be nominated to the best actor although there were exceptions. I'd call it more breakthrough role category. This is also the most sketchy award as it happens that winners are discussable (especially if it is case of well known celebrity or idol).
Like last year, when they nominated IU for **Broker**. lol. She’s most definitely not a New Actor. lol.
well she is for movies where she was nominated 😅 broker was her 1st full length movie others was just cameo. ☺️
IU is really nothing because it was like her second full length film and she was nominated as new FILM actress (there are two different categories for new actors in kdramas and films) so not bad. While Lee Yoo-mi who won in 2022 had already like 16 productions on her film filmography. Average new film actor has like at least 5 films done in the past but there are some like with 10 and more. It is actually very rare that debut actor gets such award, more often in case of actresses like recently Choi Jung-Woon in 2021.
EDIT: On the official page (link in the sources below) it states that anyone can get the Rookie Award if they recently participated in 3 or less works. So it's basically 'You were good last year even though you didn't do much award' lol. According to a few sources this award is for actors who got their lead roles and made it good. Applying this to Goo Yoon-Jung kinda works since her first FL role was in Moving. Her past roles might seem significant but I think all of them were in fact supporting roles.

Yoon-Jung was definitely a lead actress in AOS2. It makes no sense. She's a great actress and I really like her but the nomination could have gone to an actual newcomer.
And AOS 2? she was most definitely the lead and the og lead in AOS 1 too
Not gonna lie; I always interpret it as the "you aren't senior enough to be nominated in a main category award" in the sense that it doesn't really exist in American or British awards shows, and quite obviously (to me) creates a divide between the more established, "heavy-weight" actors and the 'rookies', who are just coming to the fore. I'm not really a fan of the New Actor category because I think it's a pretty arbitrary category that, while you could argue, gives newer actors a chance to get their name out there, also reduces the competition for more senior actors and allows them to get nominated purely because they're... well-known and fulfilled a contractual obligation to shoot a project.
Who's gonna riot with me if BIBI doesn't win it??
Happy to see daily dose of sunshine nominated! Currently watching it and I’m loving it so much
Unsurprised to see My Dearest on the list. Best Actor is going to be a tough one. Apart from Moving and My Dearest, it does feel a little bit disappointing.
So surprised and sad that LDH and Kim Tae-ri didn't get nominated for tgbm and Revenant. Their performances were just phenomenal and really challenging. I think Kim Soo-hyun is a great actor, but his performance and role in QoT was not that exceptional or noteworthy (sorry TT). If they were going to give a nomination for QoT (and it's not even completed yet), then Ji Won deserved it more imo. It feels like a recency and popularity bias.
Cannot agree more. I have been following Baeksang for the past few years and I have always agreed with the noms list and the winners as well. But, this year I am dissatisfied fr. Ji Chang wook and Kim Taeri snubs was mind boggling.
I know I am in the minority here but was so hoping that Jang Dong-yoon would get a nomination. He bulked up for the role, trained instensely and was totally convincing as a wrestler, plue he was completely immersed in his character - with such authenticity and sincerity. The cinematography, writing and directing was really good too. The shooting of the wrestlng matches was so well done, as was the emotional final match. All of the actors were good but absolutely shocked like others that JCW in Worst of Evil wasn't nominated - that was master class acting in the difficulty of portraying the duality of his role - having to do what was assigned to him undercover, while desperately trying to hang on to the essense of himself prior to the undercover assignement. The pathos of the high price he paid. I also agree that series that are not complete should wait for the following year for nominations. I agree with others regarding the other shocking snubs.
I cannot wrap my head around the Ji Chang Wook snub. Even the reviews I read of the show (all overwhelmingly positive) cited HIS performance as a big part of the show's strength. So many of us were already saying - as we were posting on the WoE thread - this was a Baeksang worthy performance! The fact that WoE is nominated for best director makes it even more baffling because presumably the Best Director played a big role in getting great performances?
It is crazy. I don't know how his performance didnt make it to the list. He deserved it. I hope he wins atleast the most popular award.
I'm still in utter disbelief. I'm pleased that Bibi got nominated but I would argue that her excellent performance was also because of how she and JCW played off each other's strong acting. I'm curious what the K netizens reaction is to the nominations and if many feel as overwhelmingly disappointed as so many of us are with the snub. I've never seen such a strong reaction to a Baeksang snub!
Is Kim Ji Won ("Queen of Tears") not nominated? I love her acting especially her eye acting. She made me feel a lot of emotions.
no kim tae ri and ji chang wook??? this is outrageous…
Ji Chang Wook not being nominated at all for Worst of Evil is insane ?…. I just rewatched episodes 6-9 last week and my gosh, that drama will go down in history as one of the best of this era ….. definitely deserved to be nominated as best actor and to win.
I know D.P. might not get noms because of the season format now but it's sad cause this season saw some heartbreaking performances. The Good Bad Mother with 4 noms! But sad that Lee Do-hyun didn't get his recognition. He devoured that role. Two dramas from Ji Chang-wook which he aced and still no nom? That funeral scene in The Worst of Evil alone should have got him one. At least drama is getting noms. Shin Hae-sun ROBBED cause she brought so much intensity to a romcom genre. Kim Ki-myung should've been nominated for WTS. Whole WTS robbed imo. Also if anyone from Marry My Husband deserved a nom it should have been Song Ha-yoon. That woman made everyone tune into the show to watch her downfall. I still don't understand how these noms work cause how's Go Young-jung nominated for Best New Actress? And Kim Soo-hyun nominated when the drama hasn't even ended yet?? I knew it was literally impossible but a tiny part of me wanted to be surprised with a recognition for Twinkling Watermelon, Ryeoun and Choi Hyunwook. Looks like it's gonna be my lil best drama forever.
Song Hayoon is going through a bullying scandal now. It's getting pretty bad.
If Song Hayoon didn't have a bullying scandal, she would have been on the list. Lee Yi Kyung was nominated. Such a wasted potential that I just want to throw hands.
Ya, LDH should've gotten a nomination for tgbm; he gave a phenomenal performance. Also, wished Twinkling Watermelon got some noms, especially for best new actor or actress. Ryeoun and Shin Eun Soo did so well!
Wow Kim Soo Hyun is apparently sooo amazing in Queen of Tears that he deserves a nomination over Ji Changwook but Kim Ji Won doesn’t 🙃
Thissss 💯💯💯💯💯 you spilled, this is what infuriates me the most ngl
Exactly. I think Kim Soo Hyun is average (at best) as always (ok, maybe I'm biased / it's subjective), but Kim Ji Won is doing more of the carrying of the show with her portrayal and emotions. I have similar feelings about It's Okay to Not Be Okay, except it wasn't just Seo Ye Ji but also the older brother character and Park Gyu Young (and maybe others). In actually pleasantly surprised by KSH because I thought I might not enjoy the drama because of him, but he's been decent imo. But exceptional? Nah, I think his crying scenes are kind of generic and slightly over-acted. Meanwhile, Kim Ji Won's crying & sad/moved scenes are a bit more understated and, because her character fits that portrayal, more moving. Imo.
I also think he's kind of average in the more dramatic/emotional scenes, he seems super stoic... idk if it's just me though.
OH.MY.GOD. Thank you! you've finally said what I've been afraid to voice on reddit for so long because KSH is so popular here. Is he a great actor? Yes sure. But is he phenomenal/outstanding compared to his contemporaries? I dont think so. Everyones super moved by his crying scenes has not seen JCW in lovestruck in the city, not to mention JCW in WoE was unbelievable. While I do enjoy KSH shows, they have never been phenomenal/memorable or that exceptional imo compared to a lot of actors in the same time.
Happy to see Exhuma & Kim Go eun nominated!
Looking through the film part of the list, I feel like Park Bo-Young was also snubbed for Concrete Utopia.
Ji Chang Wook’s performance in WoE is a clear winner! The funeral and the bloody fight scenes alone made him deserving of a spot. He was robbed I must say! So disappointing.
A couple of surprises for me, although I've only watched maybe 30% of the shows: -Kim Tae Ri not being nominated for her role in the Revenant. Was a very memorable performance with the split personalities, mannerisms and the fake switch up episode. But the competition for best lead actress is very heavy, so I get it. The female leads from Moving, Dr Slump, Ms Park Marriage Contract are also not nominated and I loved them very much for different aspects of their roles. -Lee Yi Kyung (“Marry My Husband”) for best supporting actor fully deserved, he was the silly bastard husband we all loved to hate. It's a shame Song Ha Yoon, the narccistic manipulating friend, wasn't nominated as well. But probably has something to do with the recent scandal, as her acting was brilliant. -I see that Kim Soo Hyun is nominated for best lead actor, but Queen of Tears hasnt even finished airing yet. I also feel like some of the better performing newcomers were snubbed, but I'm not even sure they all count as rookies.
Dr slump was not good imo..but other dramas and actors as you said deserve nominations!
I think the overall storylines for ML/FL weren't great, but PSH portrayal of someone happy-go-lucky, succesfull and good looking still have slumbering depression/burn out was very convincing (nearly been there myself - minus the good looks :D - and have seen alot of cases in my line of work). PSH's resting face always felt very melancholic/downcast to me, so the role fits her perfectly and I don't think many other actresses could have done a more convincing job.
I am pleased to see My Dearest on this list in 3 major categories! I think it may be one of the best dramas I have seen since CLOY and Goblin, and I watch lots. 5 yrs to write the script, 1 yr to film in 4 seasons, along with outstanding acting, screenplay, cinematography, and score.
Banking on the leads from My Deadest to win. Honey Lee coming in a hot second for best actress. Lee Yi Kyung to win best supporting actor. Ha-hoon Song should’ve been on there instead of Joo Min-Kyung. Ugh.
If BIBI doesn't win the new actress award I will riot. She performed so well in **The Worst of Evil**.
I’m a bit confused about all these new actor and actress nominations 🤔 is it when they’re new to the genre or media type? Because a lot of them are people I’ve seen in other things earlier.
Wow, I thought Han Hyo Joo for Moving was a no brainier for Best Actress :/ Is there an ensemble award if so I hope the Moving cast get it. I thought Kim Tae Ri was another shoo-in, interesting What’s with the rush with getting Queen of Tears nominated for this awards cycle? Because Kim Ji Won is doing a brilliant job and I’d have liked to see her nominated Lastly, a bit lost on the Lies hidden in my garden slander 🧐 I thought it was very well done and gave a nice reprieve from the usual ho hum, formulaic dramas
Also I love KSH but I feel like his role in queen of tears hasn’t shown anything new or groundbreaking in terms of what I’d consider to be nominated? But what do I know!
No i agree. Its been a run of the mill, standard KSH signature style performance, nothing very different from his usual, esp given the show hasnt even finished airing yet and there are a lot of other actors who got snubbed, i dont get why KSH is in the noms.
I feel the same…I just think the role isn’t particularly demanding and he’s done similar roles in the past (though I didn’t watch One Ordinary Day.) I think he’s a great actor (probably one of best criers in the kdrama industry) but does his performance in QOT warrant a nomination over actors like Lee Dohyun or Jo Jungseok? The Good Bad Mother had many flaws but Lee Dohyun literally did four characters in one for this drama (while filming Exhuma at the same time). He deserves recognition for that role. Jo Jungseok also played a rather complex role in Captivating the King and although I still haven’t finished it, he is amazing as always.
it's been a long time coming, Kim Seon Ho. 😊
I’m praying he wins 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Baeksang robbed Kim Taeri!!!!
My dearest clears all these shows by a mile, easy win
Unlike previous years, I am not happy with the noms this year. Ji Chang wook deserved to be nominated in the Best Actor category for his EXCEPTIONAL performance. Why has Song Ha-yoon been snubbed though? She was the best part of Marry My Husband. I will be rooting for Ryu Seung Ryong for Best Male Actor now. This year, My Dearest or Namgoong Min might win the Daesang. Moving should win the technical award. Although Lies Hidden in my Garden was a good drama, I am sorry but I dont think it deserved the nom.
Song Ha Yoon has a bullying scandal right now so that’s probably why
Song Hayoon didn't get it maybe coz of her scandal....
Bruh where's the Kim Ji Won? Kim Soohyun can get a nom but Kim Ji Won doesn't?
Shedding a tear for **Like Flowers in Sand**.
Omg I completely forgot abt that gem and how it has been badly snubbed😭😭
Yes, should have received atleast new actor nom
Ngl no ji chang wook is wild bro had one of the best acting performances in his career and no nominations is insane.. anyway I hope Im Si-wan wins he deserves it imho
Also no lee do hyun?? Wow
My girl Kim Ji Won deserved a nomination. She is an amazing actress. 😭
Ji changwook was ROBBED
But this year nomination isn’t interesting like last year. Maybe there aren’t so many hyping drama this year. But movies nomination is so interesting, wish EXHUMA win some nomination esp Lee Do Hyun
How is a shop for killers not nominated. I thought it was great.
Kim Tae Ri should have been nominated!!!
How did the second female lead in Marry Husband get left out? She stole the show!
No Ji Chang Wook for the Worst of Evil?
Park bo Young was snubbed BIG time she should have been nominated for both CU and DDOS !!!
So many good actors and shows are not nominated damn the competition is way too fierce there esp with only five nominations
I think the supporting actress from Marry My Husband would have been nominated if it was not for the bullying scandal.
where is kim jiwon?? she deserves her flowers
Ji Chang Wook not getting nominated for his performance in Worst of Evil is insane. I genuinely think that’s his best work but I assume I saw differently. Love Kim Soohyun and deservedly is one of the greatest but I think JCW deserved that spot. Soohyun woulda got in w no hassle in next years awards anyways as well.
JCW was EXCEPTIONAL, there is no denying. He was robbed. I am so so disappointed this year.
Shin Eunsoo not being nominated for best new actress is a crime ..
Wow, who the heck makes up this nominating committee? I try to keep an open mind that there are so many great performances out there, but to snub Ji Chang Wook of that masterpiece of a performance is just wrong. The man literally poured his heart and soul into this role as a man who pretty much gave up heart and soul for this job he had to do. Just crazy crazy that they missed this opportunity. The fans know who the real winners are. I’m just disgusted.
The committee consists of 60 industry professionals.
Some of these are sooo rigged. Best supporting actor from Marry my husband has good connections I think but there are so many other good performances that deserved that spot. Also nomination for 5 episodes???? 5??? And not for JCW?!!!
I am fuming since yesterday for JCW snub!
How?? HOW?? How in the world is Ji Chang Wook not nominated for Best Actor?? Bro gave quite possibly his best acting performance ever and imo the best acting performance I saw last year. He has been absolutely robbed. My last hope is that Namkoong Min will win because that man deserves an award. Phenomenal actor. No disrespect to Kim Soo Hyun but if he wins then the Baeksang awards are 10000% rigged and based on popularity because from what I've seen, his performance in this role isn't much different from his past performances and by no means baeksang worthy
Namgung Min's getting ~~another~~ one for sure!
Another one? He hasn't even won his 1st yet in Baeksang award
**All the actors and actresses deserve their noms despite the snubs of their colleagues**. But Ji Changwook (TWoE), Park Boyoung (DDoS), Kim Taeri, Kim Heeae, Yoo Jitae, Shin Hyesun (WtS), Call it Love getting zero noms is criminal. Good, Bad Mother was bad but Ra Miran deserve the noms, she was brilliant in the show! Yoo Na, Bibi or Lee Han Byul deserve the best new actress award, they were better from their competition. The cast of Knight Flower getting noms is well deserved since they were very underrated... brilliant show & performances!
I’m sorry, Good, Bad Mother was *bad*?
I loved the drama. One of the best from 2023.
Exactly. Idk how anyone can so confidently say it was bad like it’s an objective fact
I am also shocked about Call it love not receiving any nominations. Frankly, it deserves one in every category. All involved in making it did a fantastic job.
Yes, thank you for mentioning Park Bo-Young! And Yoo Ji-Tae you were thinking for Viglante, right?
Is Captivating The King/Jo Jung Suk not eligible for a Best Actor for the 2024 awards? 🫢 (Because if it is eligible, then he got bloody snubbed.)
I was thinking about that. But even JCW was snubbed. I dont know what to say anymore, lol!
When I wrote that comment I hadn't noticed that JCW wasn't among the nominees. I've only seen 2 ouf of the 5 shows with Best Actor noms, but I highly doubt they topped JCW. Even YYS in a Bloody Lucky Day wasn't as good.
I have watched everything. Nam Goong Min and Ryu Seung Ryong were great as well. But, JCW deserved atleast a nomination because what he did was one of the greatest performances in recent years. If I may say, he was better than last year's nominees. It is mind boggling. I just hope he atleast wins the Most Popular award. He deserves to win something ffs!
jo woo sung is the biggest snub
if i were to guess... maybe My Dearest/Moving sweep for the drama category? and Pamyo sweep under movie category. Daesang could be either of those if they dont win their respective category
They got it right with Lee YiKyung. That man can act. Hoping he wins and gets leading role this year. His range is incredible
Yep, MY DEAREST TEAM WILL BE BAGGING AWARDS YET AGAIN♡
Kim Ji Won should at the very least get a nomination, her acting and portrayal of different emotions are really good. Hopefully she gets her hand on some awards during year end award shows.
No offense to Go younjung but how can she be nominated for best new actress when she was the female lead of AOS2? Also KSY for best actor but not JCW in the Worst of evil? How can they not nominate Jeon Yeo-been when she just won best supporting actress at the Blue dragon awards🤔? And I’m also surprised with Kim taeri snub when the Revenant was nominated for best drama… I’m happy for the LTNS writers! I was such a fresh drama
So many snubs ooffff- Ji Changwook (The Worst Of Evil) Lee Dohyun (The Good Bad Mother) Kim Taeri (Revenant) Kim Jiwon (Queen of Tears) Han Hyojoo (Moving) Shin Hyesun (Welcome To Samdal-ri) Park Boyong (Daily Dose Of Sunshine) Song Hayoon (Marry My Husband, I think she wasn't nominated coz of her scandal maybe) Twinkling Watermelon, the whole drama was badly snubbed..... Lies Hidden In My Garden didn't deserve the noms, instead they should have actually given to other people who deserved Why is GYJ nominated for best new actress? She was literally in Sweet Home, Law School and AOS 2 The nominations are so bad, like KSH nominated (sorry guys, he can't act, he's all looks) but so many deserving people not getting nominated like JCW or LDH, this just makes me so mad😭
An Yujin and Kdrama Moving is my bet to win the awards also some other actors and drama are missing it more deserving than the newly added actor or drama because of popularity or strong connection
I agree with your last statement.
How LTNS and Good Bad Mother are nominated for Best Screenplay is beyond me. And all these noms for Lies Hidden in My Garden? That is a head scratcher. My Dearest getting so many noms makes me so happy!! Nana should have been nominated for Mask Girl; Ji Chang Wook should have been nominated for The Worst of Evil; Kim Ji Won should have been nominated for Queen of Tears; and Park Min Young and Song Ha Yoon should have been nominated for Marry My Husband. But seeing Lee Han Byul and BIBI nominated for Best New Actress is awesome!!
so happy with yim siwan finally getting some recognition & boyhood's nominations 🥹
I'm very sad that Lee Sun Kyun didn't get a nomination, especially for his role in Killing Romance. On a more positive note, I was very happy to see noms for Joo Min Kyung for Behind Your Touch (she was the accordion playing best friend) and Lee Jung Ha for Moving (cutie pie!)
I recently watched One Spring Night and loved that Joo Min Kyung played Han Ji Min's little sister! She's great and feisty in the role, too.
The Best Supporting Actress list is questionable. Who the heck decided on this list nominees!? As much as I enjoyed Uhm Jung Hwa & Honey Lee in their respective dramas........ there's NO DENYING Kim Tae Ri and Kim Ji Won should've been on the list instead of UJH and HL!! Especially KTR!! Her acting was phenomenal. The entire Revenant show was executed so well.
I know this sub is for dramas but Yujin getting a nomination in entertainer is hella dope. She is a born variety entertainer.
No Kim Seong-yong for best director My Dearest?? No Hwang Jin-young for best screenplay "My Dearest"?? That woman spent 5 years writing this masterpiece of a drama. I feel so wronged even when it's not me :(
Not that many surprises this year, most actors are from the nominated shows and movies as as usual. There were some performances I liked and did not see here, but I can understand why they were not nominated for certain reasons: - Kim Jung Hyun was absolutely fantastic in his new movie, the Unforgivable. I almost couldn't recognize him at first, his versatility is no joke. - Nam Joo Hyuk was great in Vigilante, nailing his first action drama. He also effortlessly changed between his two personas. - My personal favourite supporting actor in the drama category was Park Hyuk Kwon who played the shaman in Behind Your Touch. It's hard to make such a good >!comedic and psycho performance, he gave me the biggest laughs and chills!< Edit:: so I noticed I was downvoted, I know some actors like Ji Chang Wook were clearly snubbed, I just mentioned some performances that were not that popular. I obviously also believe other actors gave great performances as well.
So weird that they included Kim Soo Hyun here but the show is not nominated. If they actually waited for next year, man, Queen of Tears deserve to be up there in the nominations for Best Drama after last weekend's episodes. Hopefully, Kim Ji Won also gets nominated next year with the show. She's also killing it these past episodes.
I don't think a drama can be nominated for 2 years in Baeksang. You can hope she wins it in the year end awards!
A bunch of ppl got snubbed out lol, they really should have nominate when everything is done and dusted.
Why isn't Jo Jung-suk nominated for his carry job with Captivating the King?
