My Take
Oh Jung-se is the kind of actor I trust completely. Back-to-back Baeksang Best Supporting Actor wins in 2020 and 2021 are no fluke; he has a rare gift for disappearing into a role while quietly pulling the whole scene's center of gravity toward him. His turn in It's Okay to Not Be Okay was achingly precise, yet he can swing into outright menace just as easily. What I admire most is the patience of a late-blooming, theatre-trained craftsman who never demands the spotlight but always earns it. He proves that the most unforgettable performances often belong to the person nominally in support.
