Actors Spark Buzz Ahead of Netizen Awards Judgment
Namgoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin are gaining momentum for the 2025 Netizen Awards, specifically in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories, thanks to their moving performances in the SBS K-drama Our Film.
A Glimmer of Hope in Poll Rankings
As of 4:58 PM on July 3rd, actor Byun Woo-seok leads the Best Actor category with 1,639 votes (36.6%), while Namgoong Min currently ranks 18th with 37 votes (0.8%). Although he remains in the lower tier, experts say there’s room for a comeback through increased viewership and fan engagement.
Meanwhile, in the Best Actress category, Kim Hye-yoon dominates with 3,095 votes (52.7%). Jeon Yeo-bin holds 11th place with 99 votes (1.7%), but growing praise for her acting may position her for a late-stage surge in popularity.
Inside the Storyline of Our Film
Our Film tells the poignant story of a failed film director and a terminally ill aspiring actress. Namgoong Min portrays Je-ha, the son of a legendary director who, despite his pedigree, has failed to establish himself as a filmmaker. Haunted by both his father’s legacy and his own regrets, he exists in emotional limbo. That is, until he meets Da-eum, played by Jeon Yeo-bin.
Jeon’s character, Da-eum, is not your typical tragic heroine. Despite her terminal diagnosis, she charges forward with dreams of acting and love. Her character’s powerful drive—“Even in pain, I can still love, act, and live!”—is brought to life with nuance through Jeon Yeo-bin’s performance.
Emotional Resonance Winning Over Viewers
The drama’s emotional depth and strong performances are gradually resonating with fans, influencing the shifting dynamics in the Netizen Awards. Though currently behind in votes, both actors may yet turn the tide as their performances continue to captivate audiences.
With awards season heating up, the final results remain uncertain—but one thing’s for sure: Namgoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin have left a lasting impression through their roles in Our Film.
