Expected! Gong Yoo & Seo Hyun-jin. Congrats both^^

Congratulations to Seo Hyun-Jin, I remember she's also Dramabeans editors' pick for best actress last year! You girls definitely have an eyes for good acting!

Love Kim Yoo Jung's dress too! I just read that it's from H&M

Congratulations to Kim Yoo Jung!!!

Kim Yoo-jung is growing up! She's so gorgeous!

Gong Yoo looks fiiiiiine. <3

Congratulations to all the winners, especially to Gong Yoo! It was a great night to be a dramaland fan too, loved seeing all the familiar faces, especially my puppies, Yoo-jung and Bo-gum. *tears

I can't say there was one dress that wowed me but Gong Yoo looked hot as always ?

Lee Yeon Hee and Son Ye Jin are the most beautiful in this one.

I like how red carpet fashion dominates award articles. There's a lot more we can agree on fashion than the awards themselves.

Congrats to Seo Hyun Jin! Without her, I suspect AOHY wouldn't work.

I'm also glad Dear My Friends won a couple of awards.

Moonlight Puppies! Not just Bogum and Yoojung but Jin Young and Dong Yeon too!

*throws confetti* ? *waves at all the other Moonlight fans*

Agree about Yoo Jung's dress- gorgeous! And available at H&M for 200 plus dollars! (Now if only I had a reason to wear a floor length gown...)

Gong Yoo's speech was touching and I'm really happy for him, but he sounds burnt out. I sincerely hope he takes a well deserved break after his fan meets, before doing any other projects. We will wait (patiently!) for you Gong Yoo Oppa! ❤️

Congratulations to Seo Hyun-jin, she really deserved that award!

I like what Sohn Ye-jin (she and Kim So-hyun look SO MUCH ALIKE, it's crazy), Gong Seung-yeon, Lee Se-young and Park Shin-hye (despite the busy hair, I love the dress) are wearing. Same with Lee Yeon-hee and Lee Se-young (though LYH's dress is, if I'm not mistaken, the same one worn by Felicity Jones to the LA premiere of Rogue One?)

So happy for Seo Hyun-jin! Girl is on a roll and I hope her success continues! Congrats to all the other winners and nominees, very happy that Dear My Friends also got recognition too.

Congratulations to all the winners!!

I was moved by the acceptance speeches of Gong Yoo and Seo Hyunjin. They were overwhelmed with emotions. Kim Eunsook, on the other hand, was like a cute happy fangirl when she won. hehe! I may not be a fan of all her works, but damn she is a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Ryu Junyeol taking home his 2nd best new actor award though, damn dude you are on a roll. MDBC OTP winning the popularity award for tv is no surprise.

Seeing the celebrities in this award show made me wish for future drama/movie pairings like Gong Yoo and Son Yejin, Gong Yoo and Seo Hyunjin, Ryu Junyeol and Kim Goeun, Park Bogum and Park Boyoung. Man, so many dream pairings last night. I hope to see some come true in the future.

So many adorable fails during the live broadcast:
1. Yoon Shi-yoon announcing the winner for the wrong category, effectively spoiling the winner for the next category he's going to present. He was such a good sport though, and adorably embarrassed about his mistake but remained professional throughout.
2. The camera guy initially doing a close-up on Kim Hwan-hee instead of Chun Woo-hee (both of The Wailing) during Movie's Best Supporting Actress, which was saved by her cute "Me, it's me" reaction.
3. The presenter messing up the pronunciation of PBG's name that even he couldn't recognise it himself.

What I like:
1. The tribute for Kim Young-ae was lovely. I was in tears when RMR and PSH got on stage to present the Lifetime achievement award.
2. So many queens in the same room; can't stop fangirling after KHS, JDY, SYJ, HYR. They need to be in a project together.

I really don't know how the judges could decide between the nominees for Best Actor (TV). It seems an impossible task.
I loved Park Bo-young's dress.

Gong yoo.... Wooohooooooooo!!!.... I'm so happy for him. ... Goblin wouldn't have been half as good without him playing the 934 years old man child ...

The fashion in korean awards, i have just given up on it. They are all on the way to a wedding. How is it that they wear the best stuff and top designers in their show but when it comes to awards, its the same black, white and sparkly

Congratz to all winners. ????
D.O. looks so cute, so different from all the characters he has played so far. I really miss him in dramaland. (A reunion with Jo Jung-seok would be great)

I'm so happy for Dear My Friends! It indeed deserves the award ?

?Congratulation to all winners.?

Wish I could upvote this article, but sadly there is no such functionality yet (Or perhaps I'm in the dark about its existence?). It would be splendid if we could upvote our favourite recaps, news and etc. in db future updates.

Thanks girlfriday for the 53rd Baeksang coverage and your fashion police commentaries ???.

And congratulations to SHJ... She was totally the life of that show...

I love RJY but is he always going to get new actor awards? .. Whats up with that

Talk about different strokes for diff folks.. The dress you loved on KYJ was apparently panned by her fans because they think her stylist sucks and doesn't go beyond princess/fairy theme

Aww, I wish Han Seok-kyu won the award!

But I'm glad Seo Hyun Jin won the best actress award!!!
She definitely deserved it. I hope she has a new drama this year. ^^

Kim Yoo-jung looks more grown-up here than ever before. Maybe it's the long hair and/or makeup. *-*

I'm glad about Dear My friends.

I dunno why but everywhere I look it seems like I'm the only one overly excited for Gong Yoo.
Isn't this his first Baeksang or? The guy has really come far in dramaland. Looking forward for what he'll do next.
I think everyone essentially is a winner when it comes to the baeksang awards. I've always viewed it as the best of the best being shortlisted and chosen and the awards arent biased or based in popularity or ratings but generally on which drama or film or actor was just so good.
So congrats to ALL the actors, actresses and dramas which got nominated.
I was particularly excited for W:2 world's,Ji Chang Wook and Park Bo Young's nominations. Especially PBY.
Her drama came out much later in the year (March right?) So for her to get nominated with all the other actresses who had dramas earlier in the year and also last year is highly commendable. You go girl.
Once again congrats to ask the nominees. They are all winners to me

Yes!! for Dear My Friends winning best drama. It was such a great show and I am happy that it got some recognition.

I am sorry but I cringed at Yoon-ah's and Park Shin-hye's dress, they need to find better stylists. Kim Yoo- jung is so damn gorgeous, and I am happy that Seo Hyun-jin won the Top excellence award. All of the actors looked great in suits, what can I say you can never go wrong with a suit. Also I agree, I love three piece suits and D.O's suit color is great, but then again I have started to love navy blue.

Kim Young-ae winning Lifetime achievement award was also something I am extremely happy about. When I heard that she had past away I actually cried. If you are a drama fan you are bound to have seen her in at least one show and she was such a familiar face that I was shocked and sad when she passed away. It is unfortunate that she received this award after passing away.

I just have to say one more thing, because Dear My Friends beat Goblin in the "Best Drama" category some very immature fans have gone to the Asianwiki page of "Dear my Friends" and have been giving it a bad score and its percentage has decreased.

Sohn Ye Jin walking in like a goddess.

I want a drama with her and Gong Yoo. Or LDW.

Say what you will about LYH's acting, you can't deny she's a looker.

I noticed that TVN really won big. Awards for best drama, best actor, best actress (go Seo Hyun Jin!!) and the daesang for drama were all in respect of TVN dramas. It was really a great year for the cable station and a well-deserved one at that. Looking forward to OCN and JTBC's participation in next years Baeksang awards. At least for me, Tunnel really deserves something and these smaller stations don't seem to have their own award shows!

Film awards: I'm not a fan of popularity awards but the winners for the best acting awards was no surprise especially with Song Kang Ho, Sohn Ye-jin and Kim Eui-sung.

Television: I'm going to pretend that Han Suk Kyu was not nominated for best actor.
Yay for Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Se-young. It's about time!

Red carpet: Always happy to see my girls whether they win an award or not. Han Ye-ri, Kim Yoo-jung, Kim Go-eun, Kang Ha-na, Park Bo-young, Seo Hyun-jin, Sohn Ye-jin, Lee Se-young, Kim Hye-soo.

Thank you GF <3.

And why wasn't Ji Chang Wook awarded anything for having the Best Face? ? Hahaha. Just kidding. Congrats to all the winners!

My Moonlight babies! *tears up*

At first I wasn't a fan of the dress as I don't like ruffles in general, but I've come to love the way it moves. Yoo-jung is radiant and glowing and her hair is perfect. However, this isn't her best look. She wore a much better gown for MAMA red carpet last year. She and Bo-gum look so amazing together. Congrats on the popularity award!

As for the winners, I pretty much expected the Goblin/Kim Eun-sook Daesang and Gong Yoo's best actor win. Congratulations also to Dear My Friends and Noh Hee-kyung for bagging best drama and script, and to RDTK for best director. Seo Hyun-jin deserves that acting award despite my qualms with her character in OHYA.

Can't fault Gong Yoo for getting it, even though all the runner ups did very well in their own dramas, and I personally would've gone for Jo Jung Seok.

Seo Hyun Jin I am very very happy for, and think that decision would've been easier, because her acting was a cut above the rest.

Men really do have it so easy on the red carpet. Kim Yoo Jung's dress was that $200 or so one from H&M right?

All in all, a very good year in dramaland. And I should really get around to watching The Last Princess!

*sees W: Two Worlds was nominated for something* ... *scans the gallery for LJS* ... *doesn't see any of the W cast* ... were they not there? I'll go search the interwebs. On an unrelated note, Kim Hye-Soo looks fantastic in that blue dress, it's my favorite of the batch. (or maybe the tea length black with the strappy back, I do like a good black dress).

seeing the raon prince young couple just makes me happy.

this whole post makes me happy. everyone was dressed well for once. I even kind of like PSH's dress despite it looking a bit off.

I'm disappointed that there wasn't a category created just so Lee Dong- Wook could win it. I enjoyed Goblin to a certain extent but I LOVED REAPER sooooo much. He's the reason I tuned in.

I was quite excited for Dear My Friends and Seo Hyun-jin. Both deserved the nominations.

Here for only one person.

*combs through gallery to find Yoo Ah In...and ah hah I FOUND ONE WOOTS*

YAY!! I'm happy for all the winners! I was expecting Gong-yoo to win but I love all 5 nominees, like girlfriday said, I wish there was a five-way tie!

Aww, our Moonlight puppies!! Kim Yoo-jung looked gorgeous, that dress did really look good on her and I love the hair!

Man I'm so happy for Seo Hun Jin. Finally she gets an award she fully deserved!

Yippie~!

I JUST finished watching the ENTIRE award show RAW! Lawl, I'm crazy, but I was waiting forever for this award show, so of course I had to check it out! Anyways, kinda surprised Ailee didn't make an appearance to perform her hit Goblin OST, but the opera performance and the one by the group of extras was different and touching.

Love love LOVE Kim Go-eun's outfit! ?????? I was just glad she didn't repeat last year's disastrous head-to-toe wardrobe. Eeep! I was hoping she'd wear a lovely gown or form-fitting dress, but I LOVE the pant/skirt suit she wore--it was classy and chic! Just like her. ? She totally rocks the look and she looked gorgeous! ??

I didn't really like how much hair Gong Yoo had to gel back, but can't hate on the guy when it's his big night. ? His speech was sweet and I love all the little moments he shared w/ Go-eun--so precious! ?

Suzy looked GORGEOUS! Both of her looks that night was lovely. She's really rocking her new short 'do and I love the navy blue dress and overall look on her the best.
Apparently Kim Yoo-jung's dress is from H&M and costs like $200+ I'm just still shocked at how grown she looks now. She's really matured into a beautiful young lady.

I was surprised that Lee Se-young won the Best New Actress in TV award because I thought that Minah or even Nana put on a more impressive performance in their respective roles, but seeing that Lee Se-young's made her acting debut at the age of four... well, congrats to her!

Love seeing Kim Go-eun together with Ryu Joon-yeol even though they were kinda awkward (because they had to follow a script?). Lol! I saw a clip of them teasin' each other bts/while the camera showed the nominees and it made me want to see them in another project together! I basically need Go-eun to be in everything with everybody. ???

Congrats to all the winners ~~!!!
- I love the color of Seo Hyun Jin's dress-- it's different from your typical pink, black, or whites =)
- Kim Yoo Jung is back!! Girl is back and ready to slay ~~~!!!! Fun fact: Kim You Jung's dress is from H&M and retails for $200-something vs. everyone else's looks that are probably in the thousands >.<
- Park. Bo. Gum. ... Need I say more??? ... Heart eyes... Heart eyes everywhere...
- Ji Soo, so tall, so statuesque!!!
- Park Bo Young unni... I luff her to bits, this peanut-sized untie <3 Such a sweet girl ~~ She glows in any- and everything she wears <3
- Oh, wow, why does it feel like forever since I've seen YoonA with not-dyed hair? heh
- Son Ye Jin's dress, in my opinion, looks better when there's a backlight shining upon it and making it sparkle, otherwise, it looks like another typical flow-y dress
- (B1A4's) Jinyoung rocks the patterened suit effortlessly
- If I were to pick a favourite out of the sea of white dresses of the night, it would be Kang Hanna's white dress; I simply love it

* Regret of the night: Not being able to see Park Bo Young arrive together with/ on the arm of Park Hyung Sik, our dear Mr. President T.T I miss them together so much ~~!!! .... Was Hyung Sik even invited???

Highlight for me was the fancam showing Jo Jung Suk interacting with Park Bo Young backstage, man they are so so cute with the playful handshake and beaming smiles! It makes me want to rewatch OMG. Bonus is DO following Jo Jung Suk around like puppy - I hope for a reunion soon, but most importantly, I miss both of them in my small screen, I hope they will be back soon!

Best dress of the night for me is Son Ye Jin's and special shoutout for Kim Yoo Jung for wearing H&M dress so so gracefully, I wonder if it's still available in my country's outlet, I bet it runs out so quick throughout Asia.

I feel like Park Shin Hye and Park Bo Young need a new stylist but it could be their own quirky style too so each to their own.

Yay for Seo Hyun Jin!

I feel their red carpet fashion are quite boring. Actress rarely experiment with their looks and hair.

I'm so HAPPY for "Dear My Friends!"

Anyone else think that Kim Hye-soo's dress looks exactly like the one J.Lo wore for the Met Gala??

Also why do they even separate out male and female actors into categories (in any awards show)? It's not like gender makes someone a better actor? It's not like sports, you can't out-act someone... oh well... maybe the patriarchy

They all look pretty but I especially love Suzy. Her new hairstyle gives vibe of Japanese actress and her dress, despite being simple, but perfect on her.

Congrats, my girl, Seo Hyunjin!

I almost teared up after knowing that Seo Hyun-Jin has won the best actress tonight. You're my best Korean actress so far. You've never disappointed me and always surprised me with every project you were in. I liked you so much in RTDK, but I think I'm loving you more and more in Oh Hae-Young Again. I began watching Oh Hae-Young Again two days ago and now am catching up at ep. 15. I just know that you were created in this world for that role. Everything in that show is fantastic, esp. you and Eric Mun.
