2013 KBS Drama Awards

Here’s the last of this year’s drama awards over at KBS, where God of the Workplace, Good Doctor, and Secret were the big winners of the evening. Unsurprisingly, Kim Hye-soo took home the Daesang for her performance in God of the Workplace. She’s fabulous; her outfit, not so much. Just wait for it. Joo-won took the Top Excellence Actor award, as well as the PD award from directors at all three networks, and looked dashing to boot. And Ji Sung and Hwang Jung-eum each took home Top Excellence awards for Secret.

The rest of the awards were spread liberally amongst the network’s top-rated shows, as is the common practice at these things. Weekend dramas You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin and King’s Family had a pretty good showing as the top-rated weekend dramas of the year, and my only explanation for the writer of the family makjang King’s Family taking home the writing award is that she broke 40%. Whatchoo gonna do.

I’ll just consider Joo-won’s 007-look as my prize for the evening. Enjoy.

Kim Hye-soo definitely departed from her usual va-va-va-voom style on the red carpet, and opted to go as a vampire magician in a badly tailored suit instead. I have no idea why, because she pretty much knew she was taking home a Daesang and would be the star of the night. But maybe she was tired of looking glamorous and perfect. Whoever decided that capes would be the It thing for the 2013 award season needs to be fired. Yesterday.

 
You were a terrible spy, Joo-won, but you sure make one hell of a James-Bondian entrance on the red carpet. At KBS he took home multiple awards for his performance as the autistic savant geeeenius doc-in-training in Good Doctor, which was definitely well-deserved. May there be many more awards and tuxedos in your future.

 

Moon Chae-won looks fabulous even though she’s pretty much wearing a wedding dress. The dress isn’t anything terribly exciting, but she’s glowing and looking every bit the starlet she is, which is more than she’s done in years past with much more matronly choices. The cutout back is lovely, and her styling is perfect.

 
Joo Sang-wook arrived with co-MC Shin Hyun-joon, and took home an award for Good Doctor as well. This guy was made for a tux, though I wish he’d pose more naturally. He looks this stiff in every single shot.

 
Hwang Jung-eum was another big winner tonight, but I really wish I could get her a different look. It’s the lesser version of Moon Chae-won’s dress that looks even more bridal, and her makeup looks so plain. It’s all just so meh and safe, when I really want her to strut around in something daring.

 
It’s hard to see in most angles, but Ji Sung’s tuxedo is blue, and I totally love it. It’s a beautiful navy color that catches the light, and he looks great from head to toe. His wifey Lee Bo-young took home the Daesang over at SBS; what a night and year for the newly married couple.

 

Lee Da-hee is wearing a lovely burst of color in this peach-tangerine dress that’s sheer in all the right places and gorgeously fitted. I love her styling too. She looks tanned and sun-kissed, and just happy. It’s been a breakout year for her with I Hear Your Voice (over at SBS) and Secret, for which she took home a Supporting Actress award. Peachy keen.

 
Bae Soo-bin, smile! You won a Supporting Acting award!

 
Jo Jung-seok, I love you, but please get a haircut. Is he growing it for his sageuk with Hyun Bin? I don’t know, but it’s starting to look like a combover, it’s so severe. He’s wearing a brocade jacket which isn’t my favorite, but the all-black looks sleek on him.

 
His co-star IU picked up her Newcomer award in the cutest frilliest pink concoction, which is exactly the kind of dress you expect IU to wear. It looks like cotton candy, and she’s adorable.

 
Mom Lee Mi-sook picked up an award as well, and though she wears white like everyone else, she doesn’t wear it like everyone else. When you’re this confident, you can pretty much make anything work. It’s a simple dress, but she looks elegant.

 

Yoo Inna wins for best dress of the night. It’s so well-fitted that I’m not sure she’s breathing, but damn, she looks GOOD. I love the sparkle, the cut, the slit up to there, and the way she looks when she walks in it. Pure envy.

 
I don’t love this brown tux on Oh Ji-ho, but at least he’s trying something different. Mostly though, he’s just adorable because of that mega-watt smile.

 
Oh Yeon-seo is wearing one of the few bright colors of the evening, for which I’m grateful. But this dress is all wrong and confusing. What’s with the extra-panel mid-section trend lately, and can we put it to rest now? This girl is gorgeous, and she looks beautifully styled, but I want there to be like 30% less dress on this dress.

 
It’s the prime minister! Lee Beom-soo looks great in a classic look.

 
His Prime Minister and I co-star Yoon-ah picked up an award even though their drama is barely halfway through its run. I wish she’d wear something a little less safe, but she looks lovely.

 
Oppa in a tux! Oppa in a navy blue tux! I love it. Jung Woo looks happy, if a little awkward, but since he’s picking up an award for his performance as Bread Man in You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin tonight, awkward is fitting and adorable.

 
I actually like this white dress on Jo Yoon-hee, because it’s the opposite of bridal, and looks sleek and structured. It almost looks like pants, but it has enough interesting detail to make it work.

 
Short drama special Anticipate Love picked up a few awards, and co-stars BoA and Daniel Choi came together. He looks so spiffy in the glasses-tux combo, and she looks pretty, though a little dressed down for the occasion.

 
Im Jung-eun looks polished in a long black number.

 
Jin Se-yeon looks bridal, as always.

 
I love the way this dress fits Nam Bora. She totally works the fit and style, and it makes her look about twice her height. I never thought I’d like plaid on formal wear, but she keeps it looking young and fresh.

 
Yeon Joon-seok picked up a child acting award for playing the young Kim Nam-gil in Shark, and if anyone older were wearing this suit I’d call it a disaster, but he’s just so cute. And just eighteen!

 
His co-star Kyung Soo-jin took home an award as well for playing the young Sohn Ye-jin in Shark. I’m not surprised that the younguns are the only ones taking home prizes for that drama, because they were literally the best part. The dress is forgettable, but she looks sweet.

 
Park Se-young plays it safe with a black dress. I like the ruffly frills and her styling, but the cut is so boring. At least she stands out in the sea of white.

 
Seo Joon-young looks so smiley and happy to be here. He’s had a good run this year with his KBS Drama Special Sirius and the cable rom-com Unemployed Romance, and we’ll hopefully be seeing bigger roles for him in the coming year.

 
Idol star Da-som (Sistar) wears yet another white dress.

 
Hong Ah-reum forgot to wear a dress.

 
Lee Yoon-ji is wearing a dress with a split personality. From the side and while she’s walking, it has the most interesting silhouette and looks great. Straight-on, it could not be less flattering. It’s like a bell. Or a wedding topper. A bell-as-wedding-topper. But Lee Yoon-ji has this way of gliding across the red carpet like she owns the joint, so in most pictures, she looks fabulous.

 
Her King’s Family co-star Han Joo-wan is having a breakout year, and looks great in a simple tux.

 
Lee Tae-ran and Lee Mi-sook are pretty much wearing the same dress in different colors. Lee Tae-ran has the edge in bling, though in some shots the broad shoulder with the bell sleeve makes the whole look a bit dated.

 
Jo Sung-ha joins the King’s Family brood to pick up his trophy.

 
And King’s Family’s youngest daughter Moon Ga-young wears a short little black dress. She looks cute, but kind of like she’s going clubbing.

 
Han Ye-ri wears a beautiful blue that’s navy in darker light and a bright royal blue under the spotlight. I love the cut. It’s sexy and eye-catching, and she looks so confident in it.

 
Jin Kyung (Good Doctor) is wearing what looks like a tiny dress with a long overcoat, but it’s one dress with two lengths and a short coat over her shoulders. It’s certainly a dress that makes you look twice, even if it’s to figure out what you’re looking at, but the structural cut is flattering on her, even with the odd short-to-midi length.

 
Lee Hee-jun in a classic tux.

 
Lee Chae-young had a Drama Special for KBS this year, and wears a bright lovely color, but I hate the cut. It’s just so stiff. I feel like she’ll drop food in that wall-bib all night.

 
Lee So-yeon picked up an award for her daily Ruby Ring, and though the dress is sooo boring, she looks great in it.

 
Park Kwang-hyun, also here for Ruby Ring.

 
Yoo Oh-sung had two Drama Specials for KBS this year. I know it’s cold, but couldn’t you wear something fancier? One of your gangster suits from the set of Friend 2 would’ve been better.

 
And because we want to ring in the New Year on a happy note, here’s Mandate of Heaven’s tiny tiny adorable Kim Yoo-bin.

Congratulations joowon-ah !! You deserved all these awards and even more...
Last year I was quite upset they gave him only excellence award instead of top excellence for his Lee Kang to character and Gaksital was ignored in many other award shows... But then it's not like these awards are something very serious even if it's not a bad thing when you have it of course ^^
This year I'm quite happy with the PD and netizen awards though. I don't think joowon is very popular compared to other "stars" but I'm glad the PDs seem to appreciate his works and appreciate working with him! And he has loyal fans supporting him in musicals and other projects :)
Looking forward to his new challenging characters like Shi-on and other awesome performances in the future :)
(His look for the award show is perfect, and makes me miss Lee Kang to so much ^^; btw thanks for choosing his pic as the article cover :) )

Yoo Inna looked lovely and HOT. Best dress. Worst would be the chick who forgot to "wear a dress". She can't sit down that's all I know. It's TOO short.

And of coarse Daniel Choi is my number one for best looking guy. He always is. Joo Won is close second. Worst is still So Ji Sub!!! Don't care if he wasn't at this ceremony no one looks as bad as that.

Hahaha, just what I was thinking: how's she gonna cope with sitting down, let alone stairs?

Agree with Yoo Inna for best dress/look here! Lee Da Hee's another close favourite, though!

Among the 3 network awards, I always look forward to KBS because they have more credibility than other networks and the majority of the awards that were given out this year was well-deserved.

Only a few people watched Queen of Office(I'm assuming) I mean, here in Db, it wasn't even mentioned in any of the year end reviews and the comments as well, it's really underrated and Kim Hye Soo winning Daesang can give more recognition for the show and she truly deserved it. She showed versatility in her acting performance and she made Miss Kim/Senorita Kim a very memorable and fun character.

I am so proud of Joo Won not just for winning 2 acting awards but also for his heartfelt acceptance speech for TE(cr: soompi live recap - Good Doctor was a huge challenge for him, that autistic people have the same feelings. Hope that there is better facilities for them now, Hope there is more children's hospitals). He really deserved all the awards and recognition he got.

I'm so happy for Ji Sung or I must say Secret team!! Yay for them..congrats guys..
And for Kim Yoo Bin too, yes, this cutie pie deserves for her role in MOH!

I wondered why IU won a Rookie award since her 1st appearance in Dream High was from KBS too right..And I honestly prefer Nam Bora's performance than Kyung Soo-jin in Shark..Better luck next time..

And LOL to the so called Best Couple Awards! Anyway, congrats to all..

Out of the three awards show, KBS is the best, in relative terms. MBC was a joke, SBS was not much better when they awarded Heirs acting awards. But I think Bae Soo Bin was much better than Ji Sung in Secret. I don't find Ji Sung's performance outstanding enough to win Top Excellence. Thank goodness Jung Woo won something, such an underrated actor. He was the best thing in YTBLSS

so i'm not the only one who think like that but he's better in the halfway, i think the best actor from secret is Bae so bin, but of course he's better than another top excellent actor from another drama award. Jisung is better in another drama

Jisung is good actor no doubt. But I just did not find his performance in Secret to be his best.

KBS seemed to be pretty generous in its distribution of awards, all well and good.

But I'm especially glad that Bae Soo-bin got an award for his sweet-BF righteous-prosecutor turned corrupt bad guy in Secret. Min Joon-gook (IHYV) might have been a scarier villain, but it was BSB's nuanced performance that gave me the unforgettable villain I most loved to hate this year!

I know, even the MCs commented that they look pretty as they made their way down the aisle.....I mean stage.

IU looked so excited and happy at the Best Couple award, she was beaming so much and looked like she was 'dragging' JJS as they made their way to the main stage.

So glad that Jung Woo won an award, was so teary-eyed when he made his speech.

Despite the flaws that YTBLSS had, I am glad that IU, JJS , JW & LMS got recognized that night.

GF, thanks for the write-up.

So happy to see that all four main leads of Secret were rewarded by KBS. I thought Hwang Jung Eum looked beautiful - the fact that she wore little make-up seemed in keeping with the role that won her Best Actress. When she made her tearful acceptance speech, it was as if Yoo Jung was up there - the only difference was that Do Hoon hugged her :)

Extremely pleased to see Bae Soo Bin winning Best Supporting Actor against some formidable opposition.

It's very unfortunate that ratings generally trump excellence. When undeserved awards are given it cheapens those that are truly being rewarded.
Each of the networks should reward professional excellence despite ratings.

Blade and Petal deserved a cinematography award.... but such is not celebrated by the Korean networks.

Jung Yong Hwa deserved a new actor award for his stellar performance in Marry Him If You Dare / Mirae's Choice.... not to mention his costars and supporting actors' memorable performances at delivering a difficult and complex script.

The Prime Minister and I has similar if a bit lower ratings to Mirae's Choice... awarding that drama "at this point in time" was a disappointing disservice to the craft of acting.

Pretty happy with KBS awards, more so than SBS or MBC. I'm happy Jung Woo was given an award. He really was one of the break out stars of the year. I hope he continues to do a lot of dramas.

I really want to cut Jo Jung-seok's hair, too. I just hate hate hate it. But if it is for a drama then okay. If it's sageuk, he must be trying to grow a mane of glory. I hope it works out, because so far I hate it. I loved his suit though, and glad he and IU (who looks so adorable in her poufy pink dress) won something.

I really liked most of the outfits, though the dresses that have two separate lengths are weird looking. Just no. NO one should wear dresses like that. Just no one.

Happy New Year, everyone!

It is a fact that ratings trump the stories and acting in a drama. Despite that KBS is the most legit of the three network in terms of awarding their actors.

When I was watching the awards, as the nominees names were being displayed on the screen for different categories, I realised, "Heck these actors are really awesome at their job and the people being clubbed in those categories are worthy of those nominations." All those who were nominated were really good actors and from different age groups. And most important of all, irrespective of whether they were popular or not or dramas did not make it ratings wise they were nominated.

I mean even the nominees felt nervous when they saw whom they have to compete with to get the award.

However, I didn't get the same feel when I saw the MBC and SBS awards. Apart from the prime time dramas, the weekend dramas and dailies were not on par with KBS. Even KBS has the best One Act Dramas which are spectacular in terms of story and acting.

However, taking with a pinch of salt is the sad part of ratings. I do feel bad for Yoon Eun Hye, Son Ye Jin, Kim Nam Gil, Lee Dong Gun and Han Chae Ah. Hoping they have better luck in 2014.

And Joo Won ah, you deserve those awards!!!!! Hope you have a marvellous carrer ahead of you and as you said - another 60 years of acting :)

Kim Hye Soo deserved the Daesang! She created a "Miss Kim" fever in Korea when the drama aired. She was a lovable character in the drama :)

However, didn't Jung Yumi have a red carpet appearance or the news portals didn't post her photos?

Joo Won will act as high school student?? No matter how good he can act, his face doesn't look like high school students. What is wrong with Korean directors in selecting actors -> So you think they look young?? No, they don't. -> So you think we are blind?? No, we don't

I don't know if it's because I'm not too familiar with Korean Award Shows but why give sooo many awards to mostly actors and not the people who made the show?! It seems there's hardly any acknowledgement towards the writers, producers, directors, editors, scores etc who made the show happen and alot of full credit goes to the lead/supporting actors. Is that normal?

When I watch the Emmy's/ Golden Globes or Oscars in America, the SHOW gets most of awards (hence why producers/directors come up to receive the award). Therefore making it more deserving and anticipatory for the actors/actresses to actually get an award for ex:"Best Actor" or "Best Supporting Actor" etc....[EX: if so many people in your class are getting star stickers, what makes your star so special?]...I hope it doesn't seem like I'm bashing the korean awards I'm just wondering why the actors get so much credit/awards? I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

With that being said, congrats to all the winners :)

girlfriday, i believe that trendy "extra-panel mid-section" thing is peplum? well, the section of cloth below her belt, anyway. jo yoon-hee's dress is an example of a much more skilful execution of this detail, whereas that entire piece of cloth is belted over oh yeon-seo's dress just looks like a half-finished vest which she put on because it was too cold...
