There is nothing like going back in time to, say, 16ish months ago, when we all discussed our favorite up-and-comers at the time. Which rookie did we expect to sky-rocket, which hardworking actor deserved to finally catch their big break? It’s time to check in on those old favorites and see how they’re doing — and maybe add some new rookies to the Keep Your Eye On Me list.
At the top of my current rookie list you will find Lee Shi-woo. After watching him hold his own opposite Kim Seo-hyung in Paper Moon, I was excited to see him as Secretary Ha’s little brother in See You in My 19th Life. Arise, rookie!
How are your rookies from 2024 faring? Who are your new favorites that you’re rooting for?
