Unofficial Poll of K-netizens for Best Actor and Actress in The Glory Goes to Park Sung Hoon and Lim Ji Yeon

View Comments

• Yeonjin and Jaejun have always been more popular in youtube and tiktok. I guess younger demographics gravitate towards more showy and loud performances. Meanwhile Dongeun and Doyeong are popular across all platforms. Ha Doyeong is very popular on TheQoo as well. Personally, i think his restrained, nuanced performance stood out the most.

  • Can't help to think the mixed-bag romance subplot kinda ruined SHK's buzz a little which allowed Jiyeon to take the spotlight after part 2 release.

    • The romance part was so unnecessary

• So Koreans are no fans of quiet acting. The best acting in the show was done by the lead actress. The scene when she meets her mother in her apartment sitting with all the gifts she took to betray her and then setting fire to her apartment and her reaction in that scene was breathless. Bravo
  The second lead was good but not better than the main in mho.

  • 100%. We're apparently in the minority here, but eh 🤷‍♀️
    I too prefer the subtle but impactful acting of Song Hye Kyo and Jung Sung Il. Seems like people think big expressions and loud acting equals great acting lol

    (Just to clarify, I'm NOT saying Lim Ji Yeon and Park Sung Hoon didn't do well, but they DID GREAT, but I think most people really have that mentality when it comes to acting. That's why an actress who acted in a makjang drama like Penthouse is almost always guaranteed an award)

    • The poll was conducted in youtube, wasn't it? Where it has younger demograhics. I visit the qoo once in a while, Dongeun and Doyoung are very popular there.

• all of them are pretty solid but I agree with Knetz hehe

• I think everyone did really well tho based on how their character was written. I don't even see the need for this poll

• Maybe that will stop ldh from salivating over all the ahjummas on kdrama

  • Why are commenters here hating on LDH so much lmao 😂
    I think may young actor wouldn't pass up the opportunity to act alongside A-listers, it's not “salivating over ahjummas”, pfft

• Don't generalize this poll with Korean audience. I have seen many praises and votes in other articles and polls from Korea given to Song Hye Kyo's performance.

• Again like i said lee do hyun character was the weakest or maybe it was acting. I'm not hating on the man just an observation, hope he gets abetter project that will show his skills

  • I think people are expecting too much from LDH's character when he's pretty much written just to be Dong Eun's “executioner” and someone who can bring out her “light” side, if that makes sense. Of course he wouldn't have much to do compared to others whose characters require really heavy acting lol

• Nothing like being outclassed and outacted in your own drama. Lol.

  • Yeah, like how your SJK was outclassed and outacted by Lee Sung Min in Reborn Rich lmao

    Also, SHK wasn't even “outclassed” lmao, she's praised for her performance in korean and international articles 😎

    • Why bring SJK?

    • Lee Sungmin and Lim Yijeon are not the same. Many actors will sign up for the opportunity to be outclassed by a Lee Sungmin.

      Stans really be grasping at straws to defend their fave.

    • Yikes : It's okay to be outacted by Lee Sung Min, But That's not your aim if your fav actor is as talent as Song Joong Ki and as big as him. Song Joong Ki it's not only outacted By Lee Sung Min, he get outacted by almost everybody in Reborn RIch. Really a letdown performances from some one as big as Song Joong Ki.

    • @missjb, you're the same person who constantly posts about Jisoo and Ahn Hyoseop and Shin Hyunbeen (lmao) being great actors so I will take a hard pass on your gauge of good acting. It's actually problematic when someone I like gets praised by you.

• I finished this drama recently and LOVED it... this is going to be controversial but I still think Song Hye Kyo* was the wrong choice for female lead. She did ok but the role played to her typical acting style and, I hate to say it, she does not look like she is contemporaries with Im Ji Yeon. I think someone like Kim Tae Ri would have knocked this role out of the park (yeon jin).

  *But I'm happy that Song Hye Kyo has a win and people have stopped with the excessive hate

• I think both actresses Lim Ji Yeon and Shin Ye Eun who played the same character did an excellent performance.
