View Comments

• I'm happy for ahn eun Jin, I didn't watch my dearest but I'm sure she deserves this

• Ahn Eun Jin for the win

• It's hard, as much as I love KSH in this role, I think NGM was incredible in My Dearest. I didn't completely like AEJ in this role, I never could see her as the spoiled and young noble woman, she was better when her character needed to be strong but otherwise, she was just annoying.

  • I agree with you. I actually love Kim Soo Hyun in this role, he’s killing it for sure. But if I had to vote, my vote would go to Namgoong min in My Dearest, mostly because I feel the breath and scope of that drama is more challenging. Which is ironic, because I’m enjoying Queen of Tears much more than I enjoyed My Dearest.

  • I don't like either drama although I'm a fan of both MLs. But I watched a few eps of both. Based upon that limited observation, I personally consider NGM's acting had a bit edge over KSH. I'm totally turned off by AEJ's character in My Dearest since she looked completely like a copycat of Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind except that she didn't look pretty as supposedly. LOL.

  • I have to agree. NGM was phenomenal. There was so much character development over the course of the drama and so many different situations. When he was crying or in pain you could FEEL it. I thought AEJ was pretty good too (character issues aside) but NGM made the show for me. Even in the last episodes when the writing could have been better NGM was acting his heart out.

    • Poor guy had to play 2 amnesias :p

• Omg this thread is going to be a blood bath. I hope not but lmaooo I am expecting it.

  Anyway, my take is the same as Koala based on both acting and performance. I will leave it at that.

• Haha omg this poll made it here? This drama is insane if this is being covered. It’s kind of useless poll and such a huge fan war happening in the comments section haha. It started at 46% for KSH on the first day I remember. Then last week episodes pushed it up a lot. Anyway Baeksang popularity counts way more than this poll :P

  I love Lover so much. Its my favourtie drama in 2023 and KNG was so so so good. He is always amazing. But I am rooting for KSH if I have to pick just one. Hope they can both get it.

  • I think you prob meant NGM :P

    I agree with you. If only one actor is getting a trophy, Kim Soo-hyun should because he is carrying QoT right now. Its amazing how much I have come to love and care for Hyun-woo when I started off hating his guts. The character development from where we started to where we are is phenomenal. Kim Soo-hyun's layered performance is even more phenomenal. He acted out some of the most gutwrenching scenes I've watched episode after episode. Rooting for him!

  • Picking KSH too.

    Queen of Tears is only the second project I have watched him in after Secretly, Greatly and a 2 hour movie did not show what he is capable of.

    For some reason, my impression of him was handsome with hallyu level acting skills and a humongous fanbase.

    What I came to realize is actually, if you ignore the hallyu tag, he is not just Baeksang level, he is actually baeksang daesang level acting skills.

    I am not sure if this is his best performance in a drama, but if its not, I have been sleeping on his talents.

    • Mmmmmm, I would say this is high up there in performance rank for him. It’s a complex character in a

      But my favourite acting of his would be Lee Hwon in Moon Sun. He played a joseon king at 24yo and won Baeksang for it at his first best actor nomination. It was quite the national drama. I wouldnt call it super high quality really, but his acting was insane and carried the whole drama next to a costar who was pretty weak.

      Tears I think is his second best acting show. But others might argue Producers or DH or One Day or Stars was better. He has always given great performances even from back when he did Christmas as a child actor. He is a top actor first, and top star second since he did not get Hallyu status until he was fully established in Korea. His filmo is amongst the best in the industry!

  • Also backing KSH. QOT would not be a even a quarter as amazing and successful without him and he really showed just how amazing and gifted an actor he is.

• Ahn Eun Jin acting was the beat in MY Dearest, even better than NGM just my own personal opinion.
  Her transformation from the young spoiled brat to a strong refined lady is astonishing

  • Agreed. It was my first time watching her and she was amazing. A good role carried by a very very good actress

• Eh? Shouldn’t Nam Goong Min and Ahn Eun Jin be at the top ? I love KSH acting but Nam Goong Min in ‘My Dearest’ was so much better same goes to Ahn Eun Jin

• I’m actually voting for KSH for Daesang and RSR for best actor. I liked My Dearest and NGM in it, but not better than the other two. Anyway it does not matter what we all think. Judges will decide. Everyone nominated have earned their spot so no win would be undeserved either way.

• It’s actually quite rare if not nearly impossible for the winner of best actor and best actress coming from the same work. And it also applies to best actor and best supporting actor, best drama and best actor. So I don’t think ahn eun jin and namgoong min would win together. That’s what I observes from how korean awards normally works. Of course I don’t know if there’s exception.

• As much as I love QoT and Kim Soo Hyun, I much prefer the Acting of NGM and Ahn Eun Jin in My Dearest.
