I said it earlier and agree with netizens that this is as best a chance as any for widely acclaimed actor Namgoong Min to finally get his Baeksang Arts Award Best Actor trophy to take home. This year’s nomination for My Dearest is his 4th nom in 8 years after Remember, Good Manager (Chief Kim), and Hot Stove League. It was Hot Stove League that everyone felt he should have won, that year he lost to Kang Ha Neul for When the Camellia Blooms, and I felt Kang Ha Neul won that one on how popular the drama was and he would easily have won for other better performances. Sometimes that is how things roll. This year Namgoong Min up until the recent two months was the front runner but the last minute arrival of Kim Soo Hyun and delivering the mega hit in Queen of Tears, not to mention both younger actors have to contend with veteran dark horse Ryu Seung Ryong in Moving as Baeksang loves rewards seasoned stars as well. It’s a three way between them but I still think Namgoong Min is going to win Best Actor, Ryu Seung Ryong deserves it as well but Moving was more of an ensemble piece at the end of the day, and Kim Soo Hyun will either take Daesang or just the Popularity Award. I will be SOOOO happy for Namgoong Min to stop being the Susan Lucci of the Baeksangs haha.
