too bad for him, kdrama award committee members seem to place popularity on top of their priorities when submitting nominations. and lsm might consider getting some powerful backers

case study indeed. how could members of a "prestigious" award committee think that overacting is commendable? how powerful are his backers? i also noticed that kdrama awards seem to be mainly based on popularity, not strictly on merit.

This is extreme ageism. 36 is old??? Even if the rumor is true and the girl is 25, that makes him older by just 11 years. In one of my favorite cdramas, The Rational Life, the girl is older than the boy by at least that many years and, when you see how compatible they are emotionally and mentally, you’d realize age really IS just a number. What matters is how the couple feel about each other.

at least cdrama actors I like don’t do that yelling at the top of their lungs that kdrama actors are wont to do

i don’t have another favorite i prefer to be nominated, i just don’t like ksh’s acting. He doesn’t know nuanced acting. He is so affected and overacts all the time, it’s exhausting to watch him. He and other overacting kdrama actors drove me to watch cdramas where actors are generally more chill.

KSH is a favorite of award committees. I often wonder if he has powerful backers. Even if he just stands and mopes around, he’ll be nominated. Of course, even if a role just demands moping around, he’ll portray it in his overacting way. One reason I moved from Kdramas to Cdramas is I got tired of overacting kdrama actors. They're too exhausting to watch.
