They are not available on Netflix and I could not find them elsewhere. 😅
So no, I wasn't able to watch them.either.

These are just actors who generated the most buzz for the week, not the Baeksang Arts Awards.

Queen of Tears aired for eight weeks. Kim Soo-hyun was on top for five of those eight weeks, and Kim Ji-won was on top for the other three.

@panshel oh I thought this was about recognition and attention.

Hard to deny the gendered context which while predictable, is still infuriating.

Bless KYD. A more stiff-looking actor is yet to come. Ok, I exaggerate but only slightly.

Yess my thoughts exactly. However the reason I think she did snowdrop was because it was sky castle's team and she trusted them however nothing good came out of it for her.
I just don't understand why she is not blowing up as much as he is, is it because she had her moment with sky castle or as @DancingEmma said gender bias.
I fear that she might be typecasted and not get enough roles.

I'm following both leads on Instagram and I see a big difference with how Varo Entertainment is promoting BWS. I don't see any updates from KHY's side which is such a bummer as I would love them to hype her up and she to update her feed.

That's brand reputation. Byeon Woo-seok is fourth, and Kim Hye-yoon is tenth. I'm referring to Good Data Corporation https://www.instagram.com/gooddata_official

It sucks how they're keeping him a mystery, but at least now we know that Tae-sung knows where Sol lives. And he was still charming with the flashlight shined into his eyes. 🤣

That brother character in LV will soon be, deservingly, hated more than QoT’s Eun-snake villain. lol

Deeply embedded. My stupid ipad!

I agree with you 💯 Em. In as much as not only SK far too many places in our wonderful world have women treated as second class citizens.
I just meant that the apparent lack of active support / promotion by her agency vs active promotion + popularity of music may lead to more buzz. After all these lists only take into account social media mentions and some such not actual acting merit where as you have beautifully pointed out uri FL is incandescent!! ♥️🥰

Cera: i know you do and I hope so too. I fear she will not get a deserved career boost and that he will reap the glory. Of course, I know there are female non-actors who are battling complex discriminatory practices doing difficult and unglamorous jobs in SK but in this space, even knowing how privileged actirs are, most women get a comparatively raw deal. He wouldn’t have shined as brightly had she been ordinary. Since she brought her AAAA game, BWS has been the lucky one. I so wish he woukd have the grace and self-awareness to publicly acknowledge that. Probably will not hapoen given the tight scripts they follow but she has to be acknowledged and lauded. She should also become a respected movie actor as she has it within her. I’m just so bawled over by her emotional resonance and ability to create genuinely believable responses in the midst of a highly contrived storyline.

@dncingemma byeon wooseok said that he was so moved by kim hyeyoon's sincerity as sol that it motivated him to do his best as seonjae at the drama press conference. so he is aware, and has acknowledged her light.

also, from my understanding, the reason she's not being promoted as much is bc she is in between agencies right now. she just moved to a new one, but the drama was filmed while she was under her old agency, so contracting issues may be the reason why her new agency is not able to do anything. speculation, but it's the most logical conclusion, imo.

@dogemama: Thank you for taking the time to reply with that info.

its true KHY changed her agency recently like @dogemama mentioned to Artist Agency. That is why she doesn't have lot of promotions. And the fact is drama fans are mostly females more focused on gorgeous men than FL. Also fail to acknowledge that these MLs wouldn't have looked this great without their FLs.

@dramaticfoodie: Thank you for your reply and info. While I have no empirical evidence, anecdotally it does seem that the maj of the KD viewers are women. I try to be conscious of the heteronormative bias which reduces all non-queer women to a thirsting, unthinking mass of hormonal teenagers regardless of their age when the issue of extremely good looking KD make actors comes up but a good portion of the commenters on this site care about systemic discrimination, how to prevent and ameliorate it and to try and realise our human rights even if we are clearly here to enjoy ourselves and lose our heads in the most delightful of ways because we emotionally connect with transcendent and resonant acting that some Korean actors perform as though they are using magic.

I need Korea to chart his other songs. C'mon, "I'll Be There" and "Run Run"!

Hehehe
