53rd Baeksang Arts Awards

It was a good day to be a goblin. The 53rd annual Baeksang Arts Awards were held on May 3, 2017, and the stars were out in full force to collect trophies for the best films and dramas of the past year. There are lots of awards ceremonies throughout the year for the film industry and station awards for dramas at the end of each year, but the Baeksangs award both film and television and consider any drama regardless of broadcaster, which makes the pool of entries more interesting and diverse.

The Daesang (Grand Prize) went to Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden in the film section and Kim Eun-sook’s The Lonely Shining Goblin in the TV section, making this writer Kim Eun-sook’s second Baeksang Daesang in a row after last year’s win with Descended From the Sun. Best Drama was then awarded to Dear My Friends (other nominees for best drama were W–Two Worlds, Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim, and Moonlight Drawn By Clouds).

In film, veteran Song Kang-ho picked up a top acting award for his Occupation-era thriller Age of Shadows, and Sohn Ye-jin continued her trophy-sweeping tour across the land for The Last Princess. In TV, Goblin Gong Yoo took home the best actor award (other nominees were Han Seok-kyu for Romantic Doctor, Jo Jung-seok for Jealousy Incarnate, Namgoong Min for Chief Kim, and Park Bo-gum for Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, which sort of makes me wish they could’ve had a five-way tie).

But I was the most ecstatic for Seo Hyun-jin, who won the best actress award for her performance in Oh Hae-young Again, because she was just AMAZING in that role (other nominees in her category were Kim Haneul for On the Way to the Airport, Park Shin-hye for Doctors, Kim Go-eun for Goblin, and Park Bo-young for Strong Woman Do Bong-soon).

Here are the rest your winners…

Gong Yoo (The Lonely Shining Goblin) in a tux never disappoints. It’s a law of the universe, and probably has something to do with that pesky immortal life he’s saddled with.

 
Seo Hyun-jin (Oh Hae-young Again) looks flawless on her big day. These types of necklines always make me nervous (I would just be hiking up my dress every five seconds), but she seems pretty confident that it’s perfectly fitted, so I’m good with it.

 
Kim Yoo-jung (Moonlight Drawn By Clouds) wears my favorite look of the night. She’s glowing, her hair is perfect, her dress flutters like it’s made of something magical, and it looks comfortable to wear. Dying of envy.

 
Her Moonlight Drawn By Clouds co-star Park Bo-gum, in a classic tux. I could not get enough of the two of them sitting together and chatting, and just generally being adorable little puppies.

 
Sohn Ye-jin, here to pick up yet another trophy for The Last Princess. I don’t love the sleeves and the gauzy cape attached to the dress, but the overall shimmer-and-glow effect is pretty (but honestly I think that’s just her, not the dress).

 
Chungmuro mainstay Song Kang-ho with a win for The Age of Shadows.

 
Suzy (Uncontrollably Fond) was an MC for the event and arrived on the red carpet in a navy ballgown. It was a little simpler than I would’ve liked, but I think the more interesting part of her look is her freshly chopped short hair (for her new drama While You Were Sleeping) and bright red lipstick, which is a nice change of pace for the starlet.

 
Jo Jung-seok, who was nominated for his hilarious and moving performance in Jealousy Incarnate. I love the three-piece suit.

 
Yay, Park Bo-young! I miss your face! It’s only been a few weeks since Strong Woman Do Bong-soon ended, but I miss it already. She picked up a nomination for her super-powered performance, and wore the cutest little prim-and-proper dress on the red carpet. I don’t know that it would look good on anybody else, but she looks adorable in it.

 
Her Strong Woman Do Bong-soon co-star Ji-soo.

 
Lee Yeon-hee (Hwajeong), who will be in the upcoming JTBC drama The Package. There were a LOT of embellished champagne-colored dresses on the red carpet, but Lee Yeon-hee’s looked the best (and the least bridal).

 
Park Shin-hye (Doctors) ventured outside of her comfort zone with a black floral gown, but there’s something off about the collar, or the poof in the sleeves, or the hair color… maybe there’s just too much going on, even though I’m happy she’s not wearing white or pink.

 
Ji Chang-wook (The K2), looking spiffy and smiley.

 
His The K2 co-star Yoon-ah picked up a popularity award in the film section for Confidential Assignment, and wears a beautiful splash of color. I have no idea why the bib on the neckline has to go down to her waist, which keeps me from loving the dress, but the color is so pretty, and she looks lovely.

 
Gong Seung-yeon (Introverted Boss), in another of the champagne dresses. I like the sleeves on this one. I kind of want someone to make me a T-shirt with that neckline.

 
D.O. (My Annoying Brother) picked up his second popularity award in the film section two years in a row. The blue tux is my favorite.

 
Kim Tae-ri has been Chungmuro’s new It Girl all year long, and was nominated in the new actress category for her performance in the Daesang-winning film The Handmaiden. I’ve seen her in better dresses though; this one looks strangely casual, even though it’s beaded and sparkly.

 
Lee Se-young, who picked up a new actress award for Laurel Tree Tailors (even though she debuted at the age of four). I love the neckline and the navy blue color.

 
Kim Haneul (On the Way to the Airport) somehow finds a way to wear a slightly different version of the same wedding dress to every red carpet, which I suppose is a feat in and of itself?

 
Kim Go-eun (The Lonely Shining Goblin) wore the most confusing suit-dress-coat hybrid thing (there are full-length shots in the gallery). I like her simple ponytail, which was clearly a trend of the night, but I wish she’d just worn a sleek white pantsuit—at least that’s a look I could get behind.

For rom-com Seo Hyun Jin's visual more matched with a bad-guy vibes type like Eric Mun or Lee Jin Wook instead Dinosaur type like Gong Yoo lol

Unless both cast into Thriller Movie then it would be good. Gong Yoo wants to play a villain for his next film and Seo Hyun Jin can be cast as a detective LMAO.

I've seen Seo Hyun-Jin's dress picks at other award ceremonies, and have always thought that they could be less "mature" looking. But THIS award ceremony finally did her beauty justice! She looks radiant and stunning...

I'm so so SOOOOOOOO happy for her! She fully deserves it, cos her portrayal of Oh Hae Young was a masterpiece. Can't wait to see her next drama.

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.

She did such a good job as Plain Oh Hae-young, even when her character got super annoying, in my opinion anyway, her acting didn't diminish. I might have ended up liking Pretty Oh Hae-young as a character but Seo Hyun-jin's acting was first class.

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! ❤️

His 2016 was truly insane, but his hard-work paid off because aside from Goblin, Age of Shadows and Train to Busan were also recognized and not to mention were box-office hits. As much as I want to see him again in a project this year, I think he needs a time off. I'd be willing to wait years for him (I've done it before lol) though it will be sad not seeing him on my screen.

Apparently oppa already left for Hong Kong, for his next fan meet. ? I hope he tries harder to stay in touch with his mama and papa! It was sad what he said about how his mom felt like he didn't feel like her son anymore, but other people's son. ? I'm actually waiting for him to take that break he was talking about, I think during Goblin days? Yeah, you do you and we'll wait patiently for you!

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?)

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.

Exactly what I thought about Ryu Jun-yeol, he's on a roll. Best New Actor in drama last year, and movie this year. It feels like he's going to start snatching Best Actor awards left and right anytime soon. All the veterans better be on their toes.

Agreed. I'm really happy for Jun-yeol's win. He's conquering both drama & film.

On another note, it's really crazy how Koreans are so obsessed with seniority though ha ha ha - I mean, you could be a regular / non-rookie in dramaland, and yet you could just be a rookie in chungmuro.

Oh and a fun fact, RJY debuted with an indie film (Socialphobia) before venturing into k-drama (Reply 1988).

Queen Eun-sook is so cute, I just love how giggly she was. From what I understand of her speech, she was talking about her mother and daughter, funny how she never mentions her father. Even funnier is how her heroines never have dads. Anyway, I'm hoping some kind soul helps out this fangirl and subs the award show or even just her speech. She also thanked her husband. So precious.

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 haven't had the chance to watch Dear My Friends yet, but since it has won the same categories over Goblin, as Signal did over Descendants of the Sun last year (best screenplay, best drama but lost in Daesang), I'm thinking maybe I should give it a try.

1. THAT'S what Yoon Shi-yoon did! Omg. ?? I didn't understand, so I was confused, but I think I kinda guessed that much happened since people stood up, confused. It seemed like he was definitely trying to be more playful than follow the script. I like that he was able to laugh at himself and admit his mistakes, rather than if it turned out awkward... somehow.
2. That was SO CUTE! I love the little child actress so much! She's so cute and so talented! Love that she was like, "No, not me, her," and then when Chun Woo-hee finally got in the shot, she was like, "Yes, it's me!"
3. Omg, I had a good laugh at that part because Bogummy was just like, "boopidy-doo-dah-tralala" and then someone must've been like, "It's you!" ?

THIS. This is what I want to know. Everyone knows how to look perfect in dramas but for award shows the girls all say, I'll just throw on a pretty-ish bland colorless dress, wash my hair and run out the door in my highest matching platform sandals. ??‍♀️
Ladies, you need to say yes to more than just the dress. ?

Don't forget the platform heels.

I know there is a height disparity, so it makes for easier picture framing, but holy platforms...so many.

I remember reading somewhere (in fact, I'm sure it was a similar thread on another awards show!) that Koreans don't tend to do formal/occasion wear for women - so the closest thing they get to 'red carpet' are bridal dresses of the beige/cream/white/sparkly/embellished variety.
