In the nomination for Best Actor (TV series) at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, there are 5 names competing for the award that are attracting attention.
They are Park Bo Gum (When life gives you tangerines), Byeon Woo Seok (Lovely Runner), Lee Joon Hyuk (Dong Jae, the Good or the Bastard/Dong Hae, Good or the Bad), Joo Ji Hoon (The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call) and Han Suk Kyu (Doubt/Intimate Betrayal).
In the 5 actors, each has a different advantage. However, currently Park Bo Gum, Joo Ji Hoon and Han Suk Kyu are the 3 names that the audience calls the most at the Emperor's Awards when some have "heavy-powered" roles, others create influential characters at home and abroad.
With Park Bo Gum, his name became more famous when the movie "When Life Is for You an Tangerine" aired and received the love of the audience.
Taking on the role of Gwan Sik - a hard-working, sincere guy who has only loved Ae Soon for a lifetime, Park Bo Gum scored points for his transformation in acting, especially changes in psychology and personality. In addition to expressing the character's emotions, the harmony between him and IU (as Ae Soon in their youth) scored points, creating excitement for the audience.
Meanwhile, Joo Ji Hoon is the name that caused a stir at the beginning of this year with the medical drama Trauma Care Center. Transformed into Baek Kang Hyuk - a genius surgeon with a stubborn personality, uncompromising, the actor convinced the audience with his handsome, attractive appearance and his characteristic witty and comfortable acting style.
His harmonious reaction with co-stars Choo Young Woo (as doctor Yang Jae Won), Ha Young (as nurse Cheon Jang Mi), Yoon Kyung Ho (as department head Han Yoo Rim), Jung Jae Kwang (as anesthesiologist Park Kyung Won) is also a plus point, contributing to increasing the recognition of the work.
With Han Suk Kyu, the veteran star of the Korean screen made an impressive comeback with the role of Jang Tae Soo - a top criminal police officer who suddenly discovered that his daughter was involved in a murder case in the movie "Intimate Betrayal".
Korea Times praised Han Suk Kyu for taking on the role of a father who is going through painful days when he doubts the closest person in the family, while MBC praised the 61-year-old actor's appearance and talented acting for creating the success of the film, helping him consolidate his reputation as a " master" actor.
In addition to the desire that the actors deserve to win the award, the public also expressed regret when Byun Yo Han - the male lead "The death of Snow White" and Ji Sung - the male lead "The mysterious link" was absent in this year's nomination, when acting and the content of the two films they played were extremely impressive.
