KBS Drama Awards - list of winners

[Knov1]

I know some of you go more by the names of the characters in the dramas than the actors real name so I added some character names in parenthesis.

daesang/grand actor award - kim hae soo (jang hee bin)

highly superior acting award:
male - cha seung won (kyung-tak - bodyguard), kim ho jin (sang-min - yellow handkerchief)
female - yoo ho jung (rosemary), lee tae ran (ja-young - yellow handkerchief)

netizen's award:

female - jung ae ri (sangdoo)

young actor award:

female - song min joo (sangdoo)

script writer award: park jung ran (yellow handkerchief)


This was the year of YH. Actors from 'Sangdoo let's go to school' also won quite a bit of awards too but, except for superior acting, new actor and youth actor, they mostly won in categories that are decided by internet voting. In other words, in those categories fans can just stuff the ballot for their favorite dramas. Gong Hyo Jin's superior acting award was well deserved though. I'm glad to see that Uhm Jung Hwa won an award for her role in Wife. She was the one bright spot in a rather disappointing drama. In the young actor category, Lee Byung Jun is the boy that played Lee Tae Ran's son in YH and Uhm Jung Hwa's son in Wife. Kim Hae Soo winning the Daesang award for Jang Hee Bin is not a big surprise. She didn't have much competition. I think if she hadn't won people would have been outraged.

The KBS awards show was also broadcast last night in Los Angeles. Thanks indeed for including the character’s names along with the actor’s. I’m ashamed to admit it, but – like many Americans – all those Korean names just start to sound alike to me after a while (I’m working on that, though).

Wonderful to see Kim Ho Jin receive the “highly superior” acting award. He sure won me over with his portrayal of Sang-min in YH. And, of course, I always loved Lee Tae Ran (Ja-young in YH) but that Min-joo style hair-do she was sporting hardly did her justice. It looked REALLY bad on her!

The “script writer award” to Park Jung Ran for “Yellow Handkerchief” was also extremely well deserved. It was a fabulously written story, and I’m so glad to see that the writer got recognized for it.

I agree with you on Gong Hyo Jin. Her portrayal of Eun-hwan (“Sangdoo, Let’s go to School!”) was just wonderful. But I also agree with you on Bi (like “Cher” and “Madonna,” am I to assume that “Bi” is his whole name)? He did okay in “Sangdoo,” but I got the feeling he’s more of a teen heartthrob than any kind of great actor. And, I have to say, I really don’t like his attitude: rather smug, like he knows what a hot-shot he is. When he appeared on “Happy Together” (which is supposed to be fun, goofy game show for charity) he seemed aloof and almost arrogant – as if he really didn’t want to be there, but that he got dragged into doing it for some kind of PR purpose (of course, I could be wrong about this, but that’s sure the feeling I got).

All in all, I had a good time watching the show last night, but I sure regret that my knowledge of Korean is so minimal. Awards shows like these are pretty self-explanatory, but it would have been so much more fun for me if I hadn’t been struggling so much to follow what was going on!

It is sad that the actors from Age of Warriors {which is currently the only KBS show that I watch on TV} recieved little merit. I personally believe that Suh In Suk, and the guy who plays Yi Ui Min should have recieved a little bit of merit as well. There were both execlent actors in age of Warriors. Oh, and I believe that most of the shows that recieved awards were boring. I believe that the Soap Operas that they rerlease are just as boring as American Soaps. But I guess that my opinion differs since I am a man. Oh, I thought Muby should have won an award for best body ;D

Oh, and in case somebody doesn't know, Suh In Suk is the actor that played Yi Ui Bang. I also believe he was a supieror actor when he played a great role as King Kwun Hyun of Bekjae in Emperor Wang Guhn. And best Comic actor should have gone to either the guy who plays Che Won, the guy who plays Song In Yong, or the woman who plays Yi Ui Min's first wife

Whoever plays Minister Yi is pretty damn funny too
