MBC held its 2010 Drama Awards yesterday, and I can’t let the year end without a shout out to Dr. Baek Seung Jo and Nurse Oh Ha Ni. Our Playful Kiss newlyweds showed up at a rather tame and comparatively lackluster event (since MBC was the ratings laggard behind SBS and KBS all year).
Kim Hyun Joong took home a Netizen Popularity Award (alongside Han Hyo Joo), and Lee Tae Sung took home a New Actor Award (what now? – the boy has been acting for years! – oh right, this is the same network that gave Kim Nam Gil a Best New Actor award for Queen Seon Deok, so I get their reverse logic here).
Min Min (Jung So Min) was nominated in the Actress category but didn’t win. And the PK couple lost out to the Pasta couple for Best Couple of the year, which I can’t say I disagree with, since Lee Seon Kyung and Gong Hyo Jin was my second pick behind the Holiday couple for my personal fave couple of the year. Now that we’ve got the hardware discussion out of the way, let’s talk about fashion, shall we? Min Min, my darling, you are seriously giving me palpitations. And a urge to go all snip snipping away at your dress.
On on hand, you are so naturally radiant and gorgeous, even wearing a potato sack your natural beauty shines through. But you have a lovely curvy figure, and that blue-whitish goddess dress with all those extra folds and drapes does nothing for your figure. It weighs you down, and hides your luscious curves and makes it look bigger. Don’t ask me how, that dress is not working. Burn it when you get home, okay? BUT, you still look lovely, my dear.
Hyun Joong, on the other hand, is working for me big time. Love the hair, love the tux, love the smile – boy is handsome and can do no wrong at awards shows for me. Unlike Jang Geun Seok, who I have to hear that the coast is clear before I will check out a picture of him at any awards show (though his look at the 2010 KBS Drama Awards rivals Kim Hyun Joong for young and rocking it in a tux).
A fond farewell for the sweetest young couple of 2010 – Seung Jo and Ha Ni. I look forward to both Min Min and Kim Hyun Joong’s upcoming projects, whether together again or individually.

Welcome back Koala & Happy New Year to everybody. ^-^
All I have to said is seeing them together just make me misses PK very very much. Oh, we had so much fun together in here back then just seem like yesterday. I guess it is time for PK marathon. LOL
Thank you Koala for a great year with all of your recaps. May New Year bring us joy & happiness and many more great K-Dramas ( Cannot wait for Hyunmin together again someday).
That boy is as cute as it gets in that tux! Happy New Year! Thank you for all your hard work!
Have a blissful New Year Ockoala! May God bless you and your family the abundance of LOVE, HOPE, and FAITH in God. And of course GOOD HEALTH all year round...
Thank you for all the updates of Hyunmin couple in 2010. I'm really looking forward in your recaps for both of them this year if they have chance to work again or individually.. While reading this, i feel sad for these two especially for not winning best couple in MBC award & of course newbie actress award for Minmin. I really miss this couple. I hope to see them again on screen.
Happy New Year Ockoala!! Wish you and your family all the best in 2011.
I was hoping that they would win the Best Couple Award but oh well, at least we got to see them together again. I agree with you regarding So Min's dress. Not only it does nothing for her figure but it made her look older as well. Hyun Joong, on the other hand, looks absolutely stunning in that tux.
Happy New Year to all especially Hyunnies and Minnies and of course to you Ockoala! All the best for you!
Both Hyunjoong and Minmin are stunning on their outfits. As usual, they look like a prince and princess. Oh I was hoping too that they get the best couple award but yeah, the important is we see them together again.
I was spying in another blog that there HJ's shoe still had the price tag on it and he and his assistant were working to take it off during the show. XD
Oh HJ, your quirkiness is precious.
Is it me or is he looking a bit thinner? D:
I really hope he takes his year easier than the last two years.
i say YEAY to more rest for KHJ! ^^
T_T it's not that he needs more rest...
T_T...
yeah... now i wish it was just because he needed more rest... aish...
ahhh this is life i guess.... -_____-
"A fond farewell for the sweetest young couple of 2010...." Captain Holiday- you're breaking my heart here!! What about our Holiday Ship???!! :P
Welcome Home! We missed you more than you will ever know.
I'm the 2nd with a broken heart T.T
Dear Ockoala,
Wishing you and your family have A Very Happy New year 2011.
Thanks so much for your great work that you did in 2010.
I also wish for Kim Hyun Joong, Jung So Min and all their fans + all my fellow pk lovers at this playground all of you have A Very Happy New Year 2011.
I was looking forward to MBC award 2010. For me hj and sm they both stunning that night. I like their out fit. SM's dress is elegant. May be we have different taste.
Although both of them did not win form PK, I will always say CONGRATULATION for their nomination form Playful Kiss. We cannot read korean and we cannot vote for them at MBC website as we are oversea fans. That was why hyunmin couple won at Innolife award, because all of us can vote easily.
I had seen some videos (by perfect) live at MBC award focus on HJ. I saw So Min and LTS too. So Min was sitting between HJ<S. I don't know how was their feeling toward each other at that moment, for me by seeing that I miss my PK moments so so much.
I also had seen the pictures of JSM & LTS did presenter toghther on the stage.
I wish HJ did presentre with SM together instead, why?
Its will be very lovely and honour if hyun joong and so min ( as they are main leads in MBC Playful Kiss drama, which hit world wide in youtube special) walk together on the stage to present the award.
Thanks for posting this Ockoala. Visiting to your playground is one of my habits now, there is no doubt that I will be your fan at 2011 too.
Hopefully we all can have full of enjoyments again as we all had that last year in this playground.
May god bless you and all.
Not cute couple at all. haha swear to God, when i watched the Taiwanese version of It Started With A Kiss and They Kissed Again, the acting of these two trying hard actor and feeling cute actress really sucks. Don't get me wrong, no chemistry at all. haha
Haha. Well, that's your opinion and not fact. Fortunately, others feel differently, and feel the chemistry between these two. And fortunately, a lot of people feel So Min is cute and very talented.
YES . WE . DO . ^^
er..i think u are on the wrong thread? lol. the TW version made me cringed..esp when the girl starts to talk. Jung So Min is wayyyy better.
I heard a lot of people liked So Min's acting way better than the girl in the Taiwanese version. I've never seen ISWAK and never will only because it's way too long. Needless to say, So Min is a very good actress, and she made me feel for Ha Ni, even during the times when I became annoyed with the character's obsessive heart. I think So Min is really somebody to watch. Javabeans, Girlfriday, and OcKoala like the girl, and well, their opinions are usually something to note because they articulate their thoughts pretty well.
agreed!!!!!!!!!! Jung So MIn is the perfect kotokooooooooo
Ehhhh....are we talking about the same thing? Not cute couple? No chemistry? Wow. I'm speechless.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Love HJ!! always (especially for having the price tag still stuck on his shoe ;))
And totally agree with MinMin's dress.. too heavy on her... but she did wore killer heels there (finally!!)!
i'm gonna look forward to HJ, MinMin, and ockoala's future projects ^^
Everybody enjoy this first day of a brand new year^^
happy new year to u too dear :)
I loved both of them they look cute :)
wish them all the best :)
Annyeong rainy!! HAPPY New Year!!
