Concerning this matter, Song Joong Ki's fans (Ki Ailes) expressed their sentiments, claiming that it is a bit disappointing that the actor's efforts were not recognized.
However, people argue that "Reborn Rich" has two main protagonists, and veteran actor Lee Sung Min, who is the other lead actor, did an excellent job, which made his nomination understandable.
