Jun Hyun-moo, UEE
The 2018 KBS Drama Awards had all of the elements we’ve come to expect from Korean awards shows: glamor, grateful and teary acceptance speeches, lots of white dresses, and lots of black suits. My Only Ally, Shall We Live Together, and Miracle That We Met had a strong showing. The three dramas were the biggest winners of the night, as they snagged wins in some of the most prestigious categories.
KBS split the Daesang once again this year, with the top nod going to Yoo Dong-geun and Kim Myung-min. The ceremony was emceed by UEE and Jun Hyun-moo, and UEE took home two awards for her work in My Only Ally. A big congratulations to all the winners!

Daniel Choi, looking good. Like the scruffy look, didn't recognize him at first. Lee Sang-woo, no, just . . . no.

Definitely quite damask-y, but I applaud any kind of risk taking on the male celebrity front and the suit is very well-fitted. My main issue is the lack of contrast with the navy shirt and the length of the pants. Daniel's pants, by contrast, are just so and the tweed of the jacket adds subtle interest. I have to admit I never really care for the way Korean female celebrities tend to dress on the red carpet? Lots of satin and lace. They all look lovely because they're beautiful people and there's nothing wrong with satin or lace, it just doesn't happen to appeal to my taste.

Yay! My favs - Kim Myung Min, Ra Mi Ran for The Miracle That We Met.
Also, Park Se Wan totally deserve her award. I've always like her since I first saw her in Radiant Office. It was a small role but she got my attention. In "Just Dance" I am very impressed by how nuanced and controlled she is. Please, can we have more of this kind of acting?

Maybe because I didn't expect anything from Just Dance but I was blown awal by Park Sewan in Just Dance. Though everyone in the squad could definitely take credit for how awesome this short drama is, Park Sewan's acting is just so detailed and raw. Kinda remind me of how I see Seo Hyunjin except Seo Hyunjin is definitely on another level

It's painful to look at her these days :(
But she keeps getting work so I guess that validates what she is seeing in the mirror. It's a shame because it's clear she has a problem but no one is stepping in as long as she is still making money for them.

So happy that Park Se-wan and Jang Dong-yoon both received an ward for their performance in the gem, Dance Sports Girls!
I am also happy that Are You Human Too, Jugglers, and Matrimonial Chaos (I picked it up again and I am enjoying it this time around) received awards too!

Oh My... As much as I'm dissapointed about AYHT turn out to be, I'm happy for Seo Kang Joon, get an award from KBS. Then again the strongest contender is Kim Myung Min, which he get daesang. And the the most surprise is JuSt Dance considering they get the lowest rating, but KBS give them the appreciation they deserved. Look at Park Se Wan's speech feeling unbelievable she is chosen!

My beautiful son Seo Kang Joon deserved this and every award in 2018 for his multifaceted portrayal of Nam Shins, who were both very good bois, and the emotionally exhausting role in Third Charm. He thanked his cats, I love him and can't wait for what 2019 brings him! ("Our relationship is..."???)

The Third Charm On Joon Young is really emotionally exhausting for an actor to potray. I feel bad for him but also abit proud. Well.. I hope he is not getting tired potraying this type of character. Lol.

KBS has been disappointing all year. The only drama I mildly love was Jugglers. Congrats to the leads!
If Miracle That We Met took a more forgiving path, I would have loved it. The actors were great though, especially Ra Miran❤️

I've, for some reason, always liked how KBS chooses for their awards (relative to the other stations). They tend to surprise me the most by giving awards to some of their more underrated works. I'm happy that Matrimonial Chaos got some deserved recognition.
Obviously, anyone who's seen my comments recently would already know how pleased I am to see Park Se-wan and Jang Dong-yoon get recognized for their performances in Dance Sport Girls. Not only did they give great emotional performances, but they also felt like fully-realized people, full of quirks and flaws. While a part of this is due to great writing, I still think it takes a lot of skill to make all your characters feel drastically different from each other, and both of them have done that so well already, especially in the last year.

Once again I was proved wrong. I did not think it was a great idea for Jang Dong-yoon at age 26 (and Army veteran) to be playing a high school kid again. I thought (and maybe I am alone) that he gave a break out performance as Min-ho in A POEM A DAY.
Well, I guess there is a reason why it is called acting. Congratulations to JDY for receiving the KBS Drama Award for Drama Short, Actor (DANCE SPORT GIRLS).

Super thrilled for Kim Myung Min. It's about time he got another daesang.
TBH, I prefer KBS awards over the other two stations, especially since they just have one top excellence category, and not one for each type of drama(thus invalidating the meaning of "top" excellence...).

The funniest thing about KBS Drama Awards is when Ha Hee-ra and Choi Soo-jong read the winners for best couple.... When all five couples have been called to the stage, the last one would be Choi Soo-jong and Jin-kyung, but Ha Hee-ra hold a few second, and Choi Soo-jong tried to sneak peek her cue sheet, but she hid it, LoL. And Choi Soo-jong's expression was too funny when his name was called as one of the best couples with Jin-Kyung. I found this ahjusshi is super cute, LoL.

Finally watched the KBS drama awards tonight and loved the presenters and winners! UEE is such girl-crush material, and Hyun Moo has mellowed and I thought they were great MCs together. I thought everyone was simply charming and looked so elegant. Speaking of girl crush, I adore Jin Hee and giggled happily that she thanked her boyfriend, Hyun Min, for always supporting her. Love them together. And Seo Kang Jun - wiping the floor with awards, hey? And I wiped my drool when Daniel Choi . . .
