While he co-star Kim Soo Hyun was included, Kim Jiwon was not. And many are questioning this. Some comments from netizens include,

Honestly, considering the ratings, buzz and overall success, isn't 'Queen of Tears' outshining all the other dramas right now? Kim Ji Won's impact seems greater than that of other nominees. Her acting prowess is undeniable, so it's baffling why she wasn't included.
