She starred in this K-drama alongside <strong>Nam Joo-hyuk</strong>. Though already in her 30s, Kim Tae-ri was able to efficiently portray the character of a high schooler. </p><div><br/></div><p>An award-winning actress, she was previously nominated at Baeksang Arts Awards as Best New Actress for the erotic psychological thriller film <em>The Handmaiden</em>, Best Actress for the drama film <em>Little Forest</em>, and Best Actress for the historical melodrama <em>Mr. Sunshine</em>. This is her first Baeksang Arts Awards Best Actress (TV) award.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/e902a1ce-172a-440e-88f3-fc5d4ac3ec64_280124650_522213652719629_4199712780187279978_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/58e7ac9b-0620-44cf-98fa-2b803bcc9d4d_279673015_180685484293850_6925508590156769506_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>It also happens to be the first Best Actor award for 32-year-old actor/idol Lee Jun-ho at the Baeksang Arts Awards. He won for his portrayal of a king in <em><strong>The Red Sleeve</strong></em> which gave him his first-ever lead role in a historical series. In the said series, his character, King Jeongjo of Joseon, falls in love with a court lady named Seong Deok-im (played by <strong>Lee Se-young</strong>, who was also nominated as Best Actress for TV at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards). </p><div><br/></div><p>The character is cold, arrogant, and is a perfectionist, but he goes on to show a softer side to him when he meets Deok-im. Junho impressed so much with his acting that the role undoubtedly cemented his male lead status, aside from being known, of course, as a member of South Korean boy group 2PM. In his dossier, in the past, he also won awards for his roles in K-dramas <em>Good Manager</em> and <em>Wok of Love</em>. <em>The Red Sleeve</em> is Junho’s comeback project after military service.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/be893e83-8255-4167-8732-d852b96cf8c3_280097352_484882430051406_6878060530406427126_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/297c4fe1-e7e6-48ec-8a9d-ef3285da50cb_280030742_734043151059066_4564714291654407133_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p><em>Twenty-Five Twenty-One</em> had two other nominations at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards: Best Drama and Best New Actor (Choi Hyun-wook).
