As a result, lead actors sometimes appear lower on the list, making it difficult for audiences to identify the main cast.
Some production companies have also reduced the visibility of cast credits altogether, choosing instead to highlight actors through poster layouts, font sizes, or screen time in promotional videos.
Observers believe this merely shifts the competition over billing into less obvious forms.
Differences in implementation among co-produced dramas have also raised concerns about inconsistent standards across the industry.
Industry observers emphasize that the issue lies not in the regulation itself but in how it is being applied.
The guideline clearly states that actors should first be classified as leading cast, special appearances, or supporting cast.
Only after these categories are established should names within each group be ordered according to surname stroke count. (Overseasidol.com)
