2015 KBS Drama Awards
by girlfriday
Okay, one more red carpet to go and we’re officially done with 2015! Last up for the Big 3 broadcasters are the KBS Drama Awards, which had a few big stars in attendance and gave out many (many, many) awards, despite not having any huge hits this year. They also chose to split the Daesang (Grand Prize) between veteran drama mom Go Du-shim (Please, Mom) and rookie PD Kim Soo-hyun (The Producers), which I always think has the effect of negating both awards. I mean, I honestly don’t know who deserved it over the other, but would it kill you to just pick one? Also, KBS officially does not get to make fun of MBC for its yearly award shenanigans if they’re going to be splitting Daesangs too.
KBS has always broken down their awards into as many categories as possible to give out a zillion trophies, but that’s just the way it goes at these broadcaster awards. The overall list isn’t all that surprising, because it’s been the kind of year at KBS where you’re like, Well what other show are we gonna give it to? So Ji-sub picked up a Top Excellence trophy for Oh My Venus, and Chae Shi-ra did as well, for Unkind Women. There were some fresh faces in the mix because the network was home to a handful of youth dramas this year, like Who Are You—School 2015 and Sassy Go Go, so you’ll find no lack of pretty on this red carpet.
Overall the fashion is less exciting than over at the SBS Awards, which were held on the same night (I was telling javabeans all day how jealous I was that she had color on her red carpet). But everyone looks great, so I didn’t have any major complaints. Starting and ending your day with Kim Soo-hyun can do that to you.

Writer Award: Kim In-young (Unkind Women)
Kim Soo-hyun really was the best thing about The Producers, even if the show itself petered out into safe and obvious territory. I can’t argue that his performance wasn’t great; maybe I just wish the pool of actors at KBS were bigger to begin with. My goodness, is he pretty though. I know it goes without saying that the huge megastar is a natural on the red carpet, but when you see how awkward other people are in half their shots, versus Kim Soo-hyun workin’ it in every single photo… you just think, this guy is unreal.
Cha Tae-hyun was his only costar from The Producers in attendance, and they were awarded an unusual best couple award, as a threesome with Gong Hyo-jin. She wasn’t there, so the boys made do without her… I think they make the better couple, actually.
Oh My Venus costars So Ji-sub and Shin Mina weren’t on the red carpet, probably because they had to run from their drama set to pick up trophies and run right back. I love their outfits, even though I think Shin Mina would’ve looked dressed down on the red carpet. I totally want her dress for holiday parties though, and So Ji-sub’s matching kerchief and shoes just make my day. I want them to leave the awards and go swing dancing together.
Seo In-gook (I Remember You) is such a schmoozer — he works that crowd like nobody’s business. He looks great strutting down the carpet in a navy patterned tux, flashing that patented sideways smirk of his like he’s still a genius crime-solver who just happens to also look this good on a Thursday.
Aw, it’s Little Bro Park Bo-gum (I Remember You, Answer Me 1988), who looks as happy as this year’s young breakout star should be. This kid is going to be everywhere. He arrived with his co-MCs for the event, young starlet Kim So-hyun (Who Are You—School 2015), and announcer Jeon Hyun-moo (who looks like an ajusshi trying to hang onto his idol days). I don’t love Kim So-hyun’s dress, but I can tell she wanted a grown-up look, which is endearing in and of itself. She looks absolutely beautiful, of course, and now I won’t be satisfied until she and Park Bo-gum get a teen romance drama in the coming year.
Yook Sung-jae! It’s funny how this year I finally stopped thinking of him as Mini Seo In-gook, but then he shows up on the same red carpet looking just like him. He’s another young actor who had a breakout year, and proved it by running triple duty at ALL of the awards ceremonies going on simultaneously that day. He picked up a Best Couple award with Who Are You—School 2015 costar Kim So-hyun (I prefer her in this dress — so perfect!).
But it was Jo Soo-hyang who was the runaway star of Who Are You—School 2015, for her amazingly frightening portrayal of a teenage villainess. So good, so scary. She looks absolutely stunning in that white dress, which is cut to fit perfectly and makes her look sleek and modern. If you must wear white, this is the way to do it.
Their Who Are You—School 2015 costar Nam Joo-hyuk is another young star on the rise, and he picked up a Popularity award. He’ll be in tvN’s upcoming Cheese in the Trap, which eek — premieres next week. It’s no surprise that he looks dapper in a navy tux, since he’s a model, though I wish he were smiling more in his pictures.
Nam Joo-hyuk was actually better in Surplus Princess opposite Kim Seul-gi (Oh My Ghostess), or maybe it’s that Kim Seul-gi is just great with everyone. Ugh, I love this girl. I love her dress and her simple ponytail too — she looks effortlessly sophisticated in that black gown. I do wish the lacy texture went all the way down to the bottom, but the overall silhouette is so flattering (she looks tall!) that it’s a win.
Jang Hyuk (Master of Trade—Inn 2015) is wearing my favorite tux of the night. It’s got a fun pattern on it and he’s wearing a cummerbund, which I find adorable for some reason. I wish he’d cut his hair though, or just not wear it shaggy — he looks SO good when he’s got it all up in a fancy ‘do! It’s okay, your fancy tux is the best, and you’re Jang Hyuk, so you get a pass.
I like Han Chae-ah’s unusual dress, which is like half-hanbok, half-evening dress, but brocade… It’s not a showstopper, but I like that she’s wearing something different. Also, I don’t think anything looks unflattering on Han Chae-ah, so that probably has a lot to do with it. She picked up a trophy for her daily drama and a Best Couple award with Jang Hyuk for Master of Trade—Inn 2015, so I’d say it was a good year for her in dramaland.
Kim Min-jung won the Actress award in her category for Master of Trade—Inn 2015, and wears a dress that she feels inclined to hold open all night long. It seems like a weird thing — if you thought the dress would cover up too much, why’d you pick something so covered up? I can’t really figure it out, because clearly she wants to be in a dress that shows off her legs and her gorgeous shoes, and would look smashing in a fitted, va-va-voom gown. Oh well.
Yoo Oh-sung was in Master of Trade—Inn 2015 and Spy for KBS this year. He didn’t feel the need to change out of jeans for the occasion, which is unfortunate.
Yeo Jin-gu and Seolhyun both picked up awards for Orange Marmalade, and look lovely all dolled up. I wish there were more red carpet photos of Yeo Jin-gu, but there were a lot of people who bypassed the red carpet this year. Seolhyun wears white yet again, but I like this dress on her better than the lace one she wore at the Blue Dragons.
Eugene (Please, Mom) looks glowing, though her dress and overall look is a little too bridal for my taste. The beading does give off a nice shimmer, but I think it’s mostly her megawatt smile that makes her look so great, not the dress itself.
Her Please, Mom costar Lee Sang-woo always looks polished on the red carpet, though he gets extra points this year for trying a fancy patterned velvet tux. For Lee Sang-woo, that’s daring. I think I wanna see Lee Sang-woo playing a villain in 2016. You can’t play the perfect oppa next door forever! Or can you?
Here’s Go Du-shim picking up her Dasang for Please, Mom, and veteran Kim Young-ok winning a trophy for her drama special Snowy Road.
Also Kim Gab-soo, for Please, Mom…
And Jo Boa (this Please, Mom cast is very large). I love the way her dress train falls when she’s on the steps. Otherwise, it’s a pretty bland dress. She’s got a great smile and the silhouette is pretty though, even if she looks like a bride.
Choi Tae-joon, another Please, Mom costar.
And Sohn Yeo-eun, also for Please, Mom. I like the cap sleeves on her dress, but it’s another white dress in a sea of white, so ultimately it’s a forgettable look.
Kim Hye-ja picked up the PD award for Unkind Women, as the sassy matriarch of a family full of sassy women.
And her drama daughter Chae Shi-ra took home the Top Excellence award for her role in Unkind Women. I like her choice with this navy dress — it’s a flattering cut with a train that flutters behind her, it’s unusual enough to stand out amongst all the plain dresses of the night, and she wears it with perfect shoes.
Seo Yi-sook (also Unkind Women) tries an edgy hanbok-meets-punk-rock look. Not my favorite, but she gets points for trying something new and interesting, when actresses half her age won’t wear anything but wedding dresses.
Lee Hana (Unkind Women, Fake Family) looks like she walked out of a ’60s movie. I will never get Lee Hana’s sense of style, but then again, I don’t think she means for anyone to get her style. That would be too conformist.
Kim Ji-suk (Unkind Women, Sassy Go Go) wears a patterned, black-piped tux. He cleans up nicely.
Chae Soo-bin was among the many breakouts this year for her turn in the youth cheerleading drama Sassy Go Go — she was great at the villainy in that love-to-hate-her way, but good enough that we could see past her character to her potential as an actress. She looks fantastic in her giant pile of pink tulle, like she’s ready for her big moment in the spotlight. It’s just pink enough and just frothy enough to keep from being boring, and she looks stunning.
Aw, Lee Won-geun (Sassy Go Go), you look so grown up in a tux! He looks stiff and uncomfortable half the time, but it’s super cute, like he hasn’t quite grown into fame yet. I dig his blue jacket, and his coiffed hair. Nicely done.
Sassy Go Go’s cheerleading coach Lee Mi-do wears my favorite dress of the night. I want it for me. That dress is crazy flattering, beautifully detailed, and it looks comfortable to wear. Seriously, where can I get this dress, right now?
Blood costars Ahn Jae-hyun and Gu Hye-sun arrived together, and I don’t love either of their looks, mainly because they both look a little unfinished with their hair. I never, ever get Gu Hye-sun’s red carpet choices, but yunno, at least this ensemble is actually flattering on her. It’s a pop of color and and the pants are a flattering cut, so that’s something.
Moon Ji-in had bigger SBS projects this year (Village: Secret of Achiara, Yong-pal), but she also had a KBS drama special. She puts a cute, bubbly stamp on her performances and makes really minor characters memorable, which I really like. The dress isn’t all that memorable, but she looks pretty.
Bong Tae-kyu took home an award for his drama special Trains Don’t Stop at Noryangjin Station. Bong Tae-kyu will always be a nerdy hipster and look super awkward on the red carpet, but that’s kind of his charm.
Kim Seo-hyung (Assembly) looks amazing in this dress. It’s a lovely neckline and shape, and I absolutely love that she’s not afraid to wear a dress that looks like it was tattooed on. Rock on.
Kan Mi-yeon (MBC’s Kill Me, Heal Me) wears a rather bland shape, but gets some points for the pretty shade of blue.
Kim Tae-woo popped in to pick up his trophy for Jingbirok.
I really wish this dress weren’t white, but I love love Kyung Su-jin (Bluebird’s House), who’s a great young actress with a gorgeous, natural smile. I feel like every single young starlet’s dress this season has the same mesh overlay and sweetheart neckline, so I’m a little tired of seeing the same dress over and over. But she looks stunning in all the pictures, and at least it fits her like a glove.
Jae Hee! I know he consistently does dramas, but why do I always feel like it’s been forever since I’ve seen him? He’s here for Protect the Family, in a classic three-piece suit.
Kang Byul, also here for Protect the Family. Okay, this look I really like. Head-to-toe white suit with platinum blonde hair — it’s chic and fresh, and it makes me think she’d be a cool person to know.
Im Se-mi is in the current daily drama Love You Starting Today. Pretty girl, boring dress.
Yoon Seo, also for Love You Starting Today. Okay, I think I’ve seen this dress repurposed like four times on the red carpet. Who is this stylist who keeps getting more mileage out of one dress, and can we do something about it?
Jo Eun-sook (Love You Starting Today), I wish I could say I liked your red dress, because at least it’s a bright pop of red. But it’s almost frumpy in shape, and you’ve paired it with a furry coat and black stockings in peep-toe shoes. Just, no.
Jo Dal-hwan (Spy), you’re always a good supporting actor, but I wish you’d get a haircut.
Song Ha-yoon (MBC’s My Daughter Geum Sa-wol) is here for her KBS drama special, and recovered from a fall on the red carpet. I think I like her dress the least, even among the boring white dresses. It has these gathers and folds that make it look like a big sack, and the color totally washes her out.
Kim Min-gyo (My One and Only Love) always looks like a happy chipmunk, no matter what he does.
Kim Min-soo, of KBS daily drama Our House of Honey.
Kwak Dong-yeon is here for drama special Dad. Every year he looks a little more grown-up and a little more handsome. He’s gonna break so many hearts someday.
Aw, Kim Hyang-gi (Snowy Road). She’s such a great little actress. I like the mini dress and the bob haircut — together it’s a perfect set.
There were quite a few child actors at KBS this year. Choi Kwon-soo is here for the drama special Those Brothers’ Summer.
Hong Hwa-ri in an adorable little white dress, here for Blood.
And tiny tots Gil Jung-woo (Please, Mom), Jo Hyun-do (Master of Trade—Inn 2015), and Jang Seo-hee (Shine Like a Star). That pinstriped suit! So cute.
I do like that Shin So-yool (Sweet Lie) ventures outside everyone else’s comfort zone and tries interesting things, but this is a weird dress. Okay, I like the collar part, which creates a really cool structured neckline. But the bare midriff kinda ruins the overall effect, as does the mesh lace overlay. It’s like, half a good dress. Does that count?
Kim Hye-eun (Unkind Women, D-Day), why? You’re a gorgeous lady, so why are you wearing something so unflattering, and why is your makeup so washed out? I guess skin-tight was the only thing she was going for aesthetically, because there’s just nothing good about this combination of white top, red skirt, and ugly beige shoe that makes a lick of sense.
I generally don’t like this trumpety silhouette on Choi Yoon-young (It’ll Be Okay), but she does look good. It’s a pretty blush color, and it looks best when she’s holding it up and walking around. I would just pin it up so that it stayed like that.
Uhm Hyun-kyung, also for It’ll Be Okay. I suppose this dress would be a flattering shape, but it looks two sizes too big on her.
KBS really was the breakout actors’ red carpet. Kwak Shi-yang is yet another newcomer to keep an eye on: He was in Persevere, Gu Hae-ra and Oh My Ghostess this year before headlining the KBS daily It’ll Be Okay. It’s not the best suit, but he has such cute boyish charm. May 2016 bring exciting new roles for all the breakout stars! Happy New Year!

Hmm, the "brothers" are here. and I so love them.
just thought of the resemblance between So ji Sub, Seo In Gook and Yook Sung Jae.
So Ji Sub is the dreamy,dreamy eldest Hyung
Seo In Guk is the oh-so-charming middle brother
and Yook Sung Jae the super cute and adorable younger bro.

I do believe rather than KSH, they should choose one of Hello Monster actors ( I choose HM because I only watch HM & Producer). Or if they really want to give KSH award why not make 2 Top Excellence awardee. To 'pair' him with veteran actress for Daesang is something unacceptable.

Why so many ladies wearing peep-toes?! My eyes hurt. Sorry, I just don't like those. Do they have like a special function aside from providing a little breathing room? Cringe.
Best outfit: wait, hv to go back and check
um, let's just skip that
For the break out stars, PARK BO GUM has a very bright future ahead. But Yook Sung Jae is so multi-talented, yea, so he's a member of a kpop boyband BTOB, but he can really sing, super good-looking, adorable, funny and *wait for it - he can really act,too. Yeo Jin Goo- let's see you do a romcom then we'll talk, tho I know, the ladies will always love you.
Nam Joo Hyuk - you just get away with everything including the girl that you don't deserve, just coz you are kinda cute and tall, but I prefer you as a model and a third lead with your own little side romance with Noona Kim Seul Gi in Surplus Princess, tho I don't see anything special about you. Nothing personal, am just trying to be objective.
Please note that when the MC asked Kim So Hyun (the girl) whose confession style she liked in the drama Who Are You 2015, she said she liked Taegwang's style better. Yea, you can check the video, that was during the awarding of the Best Couple which surprise, surprise went to Yook Sung Jae and Kim So Hyun(the girl), or is that just a little consolation to the fans who are still foaming at the mouth coz the deranged writers decided to give the girl to Nam Joo Hyuk when she's got a twin sister who pursued a life goal instead of cooperating with the kdrama heavens,she could have just ran away with her bestfriend Nam Joo Hyuk to Pluto or wherever. and we could have gotten the sweet ending we want and that's Tae Gwang and Eun Bi!
WTH were you thinking writers Kim Hyun Jung and Kim Min Jung?!
no, I will never get over it. Call me bitter.
Someday, when they are a bit older like when Kim So Hyun(the girl) is legal, give them a romcom. Like Tae Gwang and EunBi in college scenario and make that Nam Joo Hyuk the 2nd lead, I want him to bleed this time.
Only then can I forgive the unfair ending of Who Are You 2015. Peace.

My first thought was 'of course KSH got Daesang'. He is a good actor and definitely attractive but I am so tired of seeing him win Daesang.
My Mom would probably hit me to hear me say that as she is obsessed with KSH.

KSH's fans will flamed up if they read this.
Comparing SBS, KBS and MBC Daesang award, I would say KBS's daesang is not even anywhere near to the level of Ji Sung and Joo Won. Sorry, I enjoyed KSH's performance too in most of his dramas, sorry but not sorry, he is really not up to that standard yet. Perhaps KBS really lacks of talent actors, or good drama?

December 31, 2015 at 9:43 PM
I was wondering where Healer was then realised it was nominated in 2014.
I thought that for dramas that cross over 2 years, it would be cool if they were nominated in both years. Y'know, a sneaky trick to get more awards ???
On a more serious note, these awards should only have one winner, esp the Daesang.

I'm glad So Ji-sub and Shin Mina got "best couple", but I'm even mire excited So Ji-sub got best actor.
Of course my opinion is very biased since I'm a huge, HUGE So Ji-sub fan ?????
Thank you for recapping the awards.

So Ji Sub look great but I was expecting him to pull off something unusual... I guess because OMV hasn't complete yet so he decided not to go crazy.
I love SMA and SJS on the awards! So gorgeous together. While waiting for the New year countdown, SJS was very funny by showing Jeon Hyeon Moo Planking and boarding. Lol

I suspect the OMV production team+coordis are still in charge of dressing him for these publicity events.....can't risk your leading man choosing his own clothes and ending up in something like what he wore to the SBS awards in 2013.

I think his magician costume in 2013 SBS awards was a way to show his unhappiness (To SBS) because his Master's sun partner Gong Hyo-jin did not win any awards while she surely deserved the best actress prize and together the best couple award.

Wait, Seo In Guk got nothing for IRY? And no one from IRY won, except Park Bo Gum (which he obviously deserves).
And what about Ji Soo? He didn't even come? And no awards for anyone from Sassy Go Go either (apart from Chae soo Bin)
Is KBS really blind to a good show and only follows ratings?

Is KBS really blind to a good show and only follows ratings?
The obvious answer would be yes.
I'm surprised but grateful that IRY and Sassy Go Go got anything at all, though imo Park Bo-gum and Chae Soo-bin deserve even higher honours, along with their castmates.
I wish Ji-soo had shown up too, I wanted one last glimpse of irl YeolJoon! But at least Seo In-gook and Park Bo-gum were both there, and I hope they took a picture together.

Indeed with I Remember You rating it is a wonder they got nominations at all, no matter how well made or acted it was, that not what you get awards for, ratings and money made are what gets awards. And after all Jang Nara going to be on a rival network drama in a matter of weeks, there no way KBS is going to waste an awards on her and risk it promoting her and thus her new drama.

Ratings are for those who watched TV at home, but fans and drama lovers, netizens and drama commentors are those who watched online...
In other words, there should be official ratings for online watching as well and see how many times the dramas are rewatched, middle week drama or weekend drama, who watched as well.
The results would definitely be different. Dramas will be categorized and rated as it is (just like dramabeans is doing).
I remember you will surely win something as it is one of the most meaningful dramas, very well-written, very well-acted and well-directed also. All actors and actresses made good jobs.
Seo In Guk and, D.O, Park Bo Geum, Jang Na Ra and Choi Won Young all act excellently and all fit their characters.
Break out: Park Bo Geum
Admirable acting: Choi Won Young
Great transformation acting: Seo In Guk (he changes from teenager Yoon Yoon Yae in Reply 1997 to playboy in Rascal Sons, to a King in King's face, and now to a cool calm emotional brother and lover! Very good job!

I used to look to KBS for great dramas. But this year, I only LOVED Healer. Which is still my favorite this year (not counting 6FD), but that was it.
I dropped Oh My Venus. Threw Orange Marmalade across the room. Okay, Oh My Ghostess was entertaining, but I felt that the show was missing closure. That disappoints me because then I view the show as being unplanned. Producers.... If only it had stuck to what it had started with. I'm still annoyed.
Well, I still have IRY to watch. For now, back to Reply 1988. I'm almost caught up!

awwww, my Sassy Go Go babies! Sucks that Ji-soo wasn't there with LWG, I would have given anything to see them together again as irl bros.
I'd have given anything to see the whole gang together again, really - Jung Eunji, Lee Won-geun, Ji-soo and Chae Soo-bin +teachers, but I'm glad that it got an award at all, even if it was a New Star one. And everyone who did turn up from the cast looks great! Lee Mi-do's dress is gorgeous, as is she in it. And I love Chae Soo-bin's poofy pink tulle, I hope she goes on to have a long and fantastic career.
and at the risk of incurring serious fan wrath, I have to say Kim Soo-hyun wasn't the best thing about The Producers - that was IU. Especially by the end.

Damn Kim Soo-hyun's sweeping Daesangs this 2015. It's his third and he's slaying! Last time he was at a KBS drama awards, he was still puppy Song Sam-dong singing 'Dreaming' and winning the best New Actor award. It's a little insane that only three of the same functions later, he was there to get a Daesang. His performance is totally the best thing about that drama, even if as a whole, Producers was fabulous. So for the last time this 2015 just wanted to say I'm really proud of him and hope he reaches greater heights in the upcoming year. Baeee <3
The red carpet was real dull compared to SBS and MBC but the guys look suave. Oh and KBS gave out only 2 Top Excellence and a bunch of excellence? I was confused why Shin Mina and Cha Tae-hyun amongst others got the 'second best' award but realized it was their most common award. A bit weird or is that how they've always been? I gotta check on that. Anyways, no complaints. Congrats to all the winners!
Again, Happy 2016 peeps!

I abhor split Daesangs. The Daesang means you are the Best of the Best -- not you are one of the Best of the Best, or you are the Best of the Best but that other person was also the Best, too. I was terrified MBC was going to split the Daesang yesterday.
I am still lukewarm towards The Producers and continue to be perplexed at how this is Kim Soo Hyun's third Daesang for his role.
Park Bo Gum is the hottest trend of the year, and KBS is doing their damnedest to shower him with love and thanks for working for their network -- one Entertainment Award, two Drama Awards, and one Drama Awards MCing gig. I bet they're already trying to extend his contract with Music Bank. I wish I Remember You won more awards tonight.
Yeo Jin Gu and Kim So Hyun winning Newcomer Awards and Go Ah Sung winning a New Star Award from SBS must mean something is not right in this world. I am waiting for Kim So Hyun and Kim Yoo Jung to be paired up with all the 93 Line actors (Yoo Seung Ho, Lee Hyun Woo, Park Bo Gum, Ji Soo).
Even though the red carpet was predominantly black or white, I liked more of the KBS dresses than SBS (Kim So Hyun, Jo Soo Hyang, Han Chae Ah, Jo Boa, Chae Soo Bin, Kyung Su Jin). Lee Mi Do is hands down my favorite character in Sassy Go Go. She is a pretty girl, so I never understood the in-drama insults, and she looks stunning here. Jang Hyuk's tux is my favorite of the night, too, with Kim Ji Suk coming in second.

Kim So-hyun is doing a 3-episode drama with Ji-soo this year, so you'll be getting a start on that costar wishlist :)
I personally want the '93-line actor crowd you mentioned to be paired with some of the '93-line actresses. I'd probably die of actual happiness if we ever got to see Jung Eunji and Park Bo-gum as a couple. And when the Bu Bu Jing Xin casting article came out, I thought for a minute that IU and Ji-soo were going to be paired in a drama and I was all in favour until I realised what drama, lol.

happy to see unkind women received some love. the writer's award was really deserving, and kim hye-ja is equally deserving of actor of the year award for unkind women. i just think the daesang should have gone to chae shi-ra or kim hye-ja—i just don't agree that go doo-shim's acting in please mom is particularly daesang worthy.
i could be a bit biased, because lately i dread seeing go doo-shim in dramas because i hate her voice so much. lately she's taken on a lot of these barking yelling sort of roles, and her voice has gotten really bad with age. it truly grates on my ear. in please mom i find that she mostly does a lot of barking and wailing, and it can get really unpleasant to listen to. i used to like her when she was younger, but in recent years her voice...
kim soo-hyun, on the other hand, was SO GOOD in producers. but i don't agree with his daesang either. i've been trying to put my finger on why, because i thought his performance was flawless. i think maybe it's because he shared billing/screen time with cha tae-hyun and gong hyo-jin. maybe if he had carried the whole show/been the main star, it might have been a different story. it seems a little funny to give him the daesang when he was one of the three big stars in a drama...
also, i really believe in his talent, and while i've loved him in each and every single thing he's ever done, i think he's yet to hit his peak. he's already done and accomplished so much as an actor, but when i examine his talent as a whole, i think he can do so much more. he's capable of delivering that one truly genius performance that will set people buzzing about him for months and if not years to come. if they give him the daesang now, what about for later? it just dilutes the value of it.

Actually, MBC daesang turned into a popularity award in 2014. So it is no longer an award by a jury of one's peers in the industry/profession. Here's a reference:
"MBC Transforms the Network Drama Daesang Into a Live-vote Netizen Selection. Posted on December 4, 2014 by ockoala"
By changing the rules of the game, the MBC daesang, in my opinion, is no longer as prestigious an award as when the selection process was based your performance as an actor and your acting skills were judged by professionals in the industry.

Hah! Daesang aren't really always given to the rightful owners tbh. Many times they're just given to those who are popular/whose dramas have high ratings. The jury has ignored good actors who have deserved the Daesangs more so they don't always base it on acting skills either.
Even though MBC Daesang is now voted by netizens but it seems the results are actually rather better and the winner from 2014&2015 have been very deserving of the Daesang. It isn't based on high ratings anymore which is a relief. That's why you don't really see many people complaining of the winners who won on MBC in 2014&2015 because the netizen's decision was better than the judges.

Even with the valuation by the professional and judges they still give Daesang to Kim Soo Hyun (need I say more? There were far better actors/actresses than him) and that REALLY shows how wrong/blinded by popularity and high ratings these people can be. Many netizens and international fans also agree that KSH did not deserve the Daesangs he got this year.
He is a good actor just not Daesang worthy yet. But the hate shouldn't really be directed at him. I blame the judges for their poor evaluation. Poor boy is getting all the hate because of them.

Peachy and Moonie, I am totally with you guys on this.
I also think KSH does not deserve a Daesang for a so,so performance in the Producers, which is a so,so show. He was OK, not great! Please read my comment to Joon below.
It seems to me KBS and SBS are turning their Daesangs into Popularity Awards too, just that they did not announce the rules like MBC. Are the judges broadcasting officials or fellow actors, acting professionals or peers?
"Ouch Joon! To be misunderstood for a not deliberating in details! I was just responding to one sentence, and got slingshot.
Of course KBS Daesang for Kim Soo Hyun is glaringly a popularity award. His performance is just so, so and did not deserve the award.. and to split the award with a veteran actor, that is just pea brain!
The guy, (KSH) is under thirty, his awards list is longer than the drama and movie lists combined. How is that possible?
There is an adage that one could get burnt-out if overworked and over-used. Can one get burnt-out from receiving too many awards?
Ji Sung deserves every spec of gold of that MBC Daesang for KLHM. He was trully great in that role. Superb performance! I am so please that he got the Daesang for that, even though I was nervous that the netizens might voted wrong. They voted right this time. Kudos to the voters!
I am glad MBC did not loco this year to split it like they did some years back.
The Big Three and a few others should keep their Grand Awards as true prestigious awards for distinction in performance in a drama or a movie!

Oh My Venus is one of the best If not the best KBS drama of 2015. The storyline maybe not be your typical kdrama plot, but it good in different dimension. Plus you can't discount SJS performance. Take out ratings and screenplay but judge solely on performance, SJS deserves the Daesang.
It's the first drama I've seen of him and the one that introduced me to his other dramas and movies. I can say the man is a great actor. The depth of his intrepretation in every character he portrays is something that deserves admiration and recognition.
I am glad he won the top excellence award.

I love Kim Soo Hyun. He is one of the best actors in his generation but for a Daesang for his performance in The Producer could just be an overrating in my opinion. Take a look at his performances in My Love from the Star and Secretly, Greatly, his performance is just a hybrid of the two. I missed his performance in 'Will It Snow this Christmas'. It was so raw and genuine, wish he could replicate the same performance in his future dramas.
Jang Hyuk is one of my favorite actors. Love him to bits in 'Thank you'. But somewhat he changed his acting style style in 'Fated to Love You' and I can forgive him for doing that because I see something new and daring but replicating the same style in 'The Merchant'.. hmmm but I still love him though. I will look forward for his next drama hope he can show something fresh.

Kim So Hyun winning daesang is not something shocking anymore, im just grateful he was not in sbs or mbc. Otherwise, it will be total heart breaking to see him get daesang over Ji Sung (MBC) , or for SBS daesang when he is not even comparable to the nominees.

Seo in guk my love, don't worry you have already won all our hearts along with your little brother. Damn how much I love that man! I really reallyy wished seo in guk would get atleast the popularity award. I feel so sad for him cos I remember you was my only fav drama from kbs last year. But park bo gum won it! He's one of the best rising stars and I am so glad to see him getting all the love and recognition. Aaannnnddd his smiilleee. No one and I repeat no one could ever beat that adorable and infectious smile ever. He's the most gorgeous man I have seen in recent times.
And much love and strengthto seo in guk♥

If i'm not wrong, MBC Daesang is decided by viewers. There was a voting during the live programme asking viewers to vote. Can you imagine if Kim Soo Hyun has a drama in MBC, he will definitely win over Ji sung for daesang. That is why i don't approve MBC method either even though i'm happy for Ji sung winning it. It may not happen now but in the future, a less deserving actor will win over another more deserving actor with this kind of voting method for Daesang. In a way they earn money and pushed the blaming game to fans who spend money voting furiously for the one they like.

It's fan vote+MBC's executive decision. I think not entirely based on fan vote.

MBC first determines the panel of candidates, then presents the candidates to the netizens to vote for the Daesang.
If this is not popularity award, what is? LOL

And you call KBS Daesang for Kim Soo Hyun not a popularity award? OMG, most of us know it was no more than KSH's popularity that got him that award! If he really deserved that Daesang then many here and on other sites would be congratulating him instead of saying he isn't worthy of that Daesang. MBC Daesang was decided by votes but at least the netizens picked the right winner who actually deserved his Daesang (same with the year 2014 which was also done by voting). By letting the judges decide this is what you get at KBS, Apan and KD Awards. LOL

Ouch Joon! To be misunderstood for a not deliberating in details! I was just responding to one sentence, and got slingshot.
Of course KBS Daesang for Kim Soo Hyun is glaringly a popularity award. His performance is just so, so and did not deserve the award.. and to split the award with a veteran actor, that is just pea brain!
The guy, (KSH) is under thirty, his awards list is longer than the drama and movie lists combined. How is that possible?
There is an adage that one could get burnt-out if overworked and over-used. Can one get burnt-out from receiving too many awards?
Ji Sung deserves every spec of gold of that MBC Daesang for KLHM. He was trully great in that role. Superb performance! I am so please that he got the Daesang for that, even though I was nervous that the netizens might voted wrong. They voted right this time. Kudos to the voters!
I am glad MBC did not loco this year to split it like they did some years back.
The Big Three and a few others should keep their Grand Awards as true prestigious awards for distinction in performance in a drama or a movie!

If KSH is winning because of his popularity, he will still win with viewer's voting. So regardless of letting the judges decide or by viewer voting, he's still going to get Daesang.

Are the judges broadcasting officials or fellow actors, acting professionals or peers?
If they were broadcasting officials, it would be as good as a popularity contest. Ratings and revenues, not quality acting, will be the guiding force to determine the winner.
KBS Netizens’ Award: Kim Soo-hyun (The Producers):
I wonder how many votes KSH received from the netizens for the above?
I wonder how many votes Ji Sung received from the netizens for MBC's KMHM?
I wonder who would win the Daesang, KSH or JiSung, if The Producers and KMHM were aired by the same broadcaster?

KSH and Ji Sung were nominees for Daesang at the Korean Drama Awards and APAN Star Awards, KSH won both. My guess is KSH will win if Producers and KMHM were broadcasted on same station.

Thanks dozi. So sad, something is rotten in the the state of K-dramaland award giving affairs.
The Netisens' Award is redundant!
Now that Daesang is equivalent to the Netizens' Award.

When MBC is actually the most sane one out of the three broadcasters....
At least MBC don't give Daesang to their highest-rated drama's lead. If that happened, Hwang Jung Eum would've won Daesang over Ji Sung.
Daesang is supposed to be Best of The Best. Before they annouce Daesang winners there's montage of past Daesang winners and not single year were they split Daesang. Now KBS officially on the same par with MBC when they decided to split Daesang between KMM and SSH.

Is Kim Soo-hyun that great to get every year Daesang award, or maybe he has a strong agency. This remind me of hindi awards every year the same actor win the biggest award. No credibility

"Jae Hee! I know he consistently does dramas, but why do I always feel like it’s been forever since I’ve seen him? He’s here for Protect the Family, in a classic three-piece suit."
- Don't even get me started on this. It frustrates me to no end, the lack of Jae Hee in my life. I know he's still around in dramaland, but it's starting to feel like he may never get a big, mainstream role ever again, not with all these new break-out stars coming out of the woodwork. Sigh...I miss him so.

I am so agree that Daesang award goes to the wrong person. Producer is not really the very best drama for 2015. I would say Oh My Venus is the best drama in 2015 with the 2 great actor/actress So Ji Sub & ShinMina. So Ji Sub acting is really awesome. With his years of great performance...I think Daesang award should go to him.

Me too. The main lead actor and actress acting are million times better than KSY even though that drama did not get high user ratings.
