Moon Sang Min being cast in drama after drama feels like a social experiment at this point, especially when there…
He really should've picked better roles after Under the Queen's Umbrella. His agency should've advised him not to go for ML roles right away since he's so young; he should have cut his teeth on more supporting roles in better dramas first to gain more experience.
Stuff related to the romance aspect in the character write-ups:
Dong-ju is absolutely smitten when he stumbles upon the beautiful Ji Han-na through work. Han-na is happy to finally be assigned to the special team, despite having the overly enamored Dong-ju and her ex-boyfriend Jong-hyeon as teammates. Jong-hyeon works hard to graduate from the police academy due to his desire to reunite with his former girlfriend, Han-na.
Looks like a little bit of a love triangle, presumably mostly in a comedic way.
This really needs to be better than Love Next Door, which almost made me forget why I like Jung Hae-in. Happy to see Ha Young get to try her hand at a FL role in a romance after Trauma Code.
My understanding is that the rookie award is open to actors who have not had significant roles in more than three…
I prefer the way that it is now, actually. The award usually goes to an actor who's had a breakout year, where it's easy to tell why they got it.
If they were to give it to rookies who just debuted, it would be really difficult to judge because there are so many each year, and yet few actually debut with an important role, but start out in bit parts/small supporting roles or do really low-budget productions outside the usual broadcasting ecosystem.
I'm not bothered by it being called "New Actor", it's really just semantics. I find it more appealing as a breakout award, so I'm glad it functions as that.
Jung Sung Il being nominated and awarded for "Best New Actor" is quite ridiculous. The man has been in the industry…
My understanding is that the rookie award is open to actors who have not had significant roles in more than three previous works, regardless of their debut year. But it really seems to be treated more like a "breakout award" (similar to the Best New Artist award at the Grammys).
The broadcasting Daesang made me laugh. Come on, don't give it to a basic culinary show 😭 I liked that they spread the wealth, but IU should've won actress and Kim Tae-ri the Daesang.

"Yoo Ah-in's scenes were left mostly intact and were not heavily edited."

Media reports suggest the opposite, that there has been no editing, like in The Match:
"Just as 'The Match' was released with almost no editing of the main story, 'High Five' is also expected to maintain Yoo Ah-in's main story."
