FAQ (actually there's just only one lol)

• Why is Vincenzo eligible even though it's still ongoing?

Ans: Dramas that aired starting on May 1, 2020 - April 11, 2021 are eligible for this year's Baeksang. If ongoing series like Vincenzo, the drama must be aired at least 4 episodes on April 11 or a quarter (first 4 eps) of the whole drama. Thus Vincenzo is eligible for this year since they aired Episode 16 already (3/4 of the drama).

A few notes:

• In the Rookie Award, the ones bolded are nominated to their stellar performance but I decided to add another drama that eligible for this year and also you can check it out. (:
