KBS nominates (practically everyone) for acting awards
by javabeans
Like MBC before it, KBS has also released its list of year-end acting award nominees.
And while Hong Gil Dong (above) wasn’t the most prominent drama featured among the contenders (that would have to be the daily drama Mom’s Dead Upset, which brought in a whopping four nominations just in the Daesang category), it’s the one I watched and enjoyed in what I thought was a rather lackluster list. (Also! Kang! Ji! Hwan!)
The (very long) list of KBS actors is topped by a subset of nine Daesang contenders, which includes the aforementioned crowd of Mom’s Dead Upset veterans as well as Song Il-kook in the sageuk Kingdom of the Wind, Kim Sang-kyung in the sageuk Great King Sejong, and Kang Ji-hwan in the fusion-sageuk Hong Gil Dong. (A big sageuk year, no?)
Women in the Sun
Daesang contenders comprised five men, four ladies (non-winners are awarded Top Excellence honors):
Daesang (Actor)
Kang Ji-hwan (Hong Gil Dong)
Kim Sang-kyung (Great King Sejong)
Baek Il-seob (Mom’s Dead Upset)
Song Il-kook (Kingdom of the Wind)
Lee Soon-jae (Mom’s Dead Upset)
Daesang (Actress)
Kim Ji-soo (Women in the Sun)
Kim Hye-ja (Mom’s Dead Upset)
Jang Mi-hee (Mom’s Dead Upset)
Choi Myung-gil (Great King Sejong)
Kingdom of the Wind
Excellence Award nominees, on the other hand, were divided into separate categories for Miniseries, Weekly, and Daily series.

I don't see love marriage or Single papa in love either. So it's really not everyone. Plus, not everyone who gets nominated wins. So I'm sure they'll chose wisely. Not that we can't already predict who will win.

Possible typo regarding Bae Jong-ok's nomination: I believe "Park Jung-geum" was the MBC drama she starred in. Maybe you meant "The World They Live In"? Speaking of which, I think she was quite excellent in it..probably the best role she's had in years. And congrats to all the nominees!

"My Precious Child" was a(n incredibly boring) 2004 KBS Daily Drama. The current Lee Tae Ran/ Kim Seong Su weekend drama is "My Precious You." (Fluent Korean speakers, is that a good translation of the title in Korean, or one of those cases where KBS just plucks an English title at random? ^^)

i'm hoping KJH will win. i'm just glad Kim Ji Soo wasn't up against Sung Yuri, they both deserve it. Also Lee Hana should win.

"Kim Jung-nan (You’re My Destiny)"
"Song Il-kook (Kingdom of the Wind)"
Ahhh, I love awkward situations! If the KBS Gods are kind/cruel, they'll have both of them win awards and give us reaction shots.

i personally am not enthusiastic about hgd, the script was silly/cliched in the latter half and i dont think kjh, though great, did anything to keep me sticking w/ it. he deserves an acting award though.
I actually think this is a decent list of contenders, at least those i thought should be nominated r all on the lists.
and how come everywhere else I read BJO is nominated for her marvelous role in World's Within?! (great drama btw)
