HK Launches Asia Rainbow Awards with Bad Guy and Hi, My Sweetheart Among the Nominees

This is so random, but its a reality so I might as well post about it. Who knows, maybe in 15 years it’ll be the equivalent of the Asian TV Golden Globes. CreateHK, the Commerce and Economic Bureau agency that aims to promote Hong Kong’s creative industries, is holding the first annual Asia Rainbow Awards, which is an awards ceremony it just up and created to award television excellence amongst the various offerings from 13 Asian countries.

I’m surprised there isn’t already such a pan-Asian awards show already, however fluffy and meaningless it ultimately is. The sole nominees from Korea and Taiwan are the dramas Bad Guy and Hi, My Sweetheart, respectively. Excuse me while I laugh over in the corner for a few hours.

Ah, that felt better. If they nominated Bad Guy for cinematography and Hi, My Sweetheart for excessive overacting and nonsensical all-around nonsense, then I’d totally approve. To nominate either of these dramas for dramatic quality immediately makes me write off the Rainbow Awards as a joke from the outset.

The leads from both dramas are also nominated in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories, which I’m at least able to get behind for Kim Nam Gil and Han Ga In. Granted, neither drama is godawful, but its nomination seems so out of nowhere (as are the entire awards), that I’m wondering if anyone will show up to accept their awards?

  • No, I'd argue that Bad Guy IS goshawful. It didn't start off that way, but it sure did end like that. Everything but the story was great, though, especially the lighting and the cinematography. And Kim Jae-wook was fabulous as Hong Tae-sung.

    • still can't get over the fact how they killed Kim Nam-gil in they way they did
      such a wtffffffffff ending

  • Are you sure they aren't doing this just to torture me?

    Of all the dramas to pick Bad Guy? I don't know whether to laugh hysterically or pound my head against a desk. One of 2 dramas from last year that turns me into a raving loon. I'll pick laughing hysterically.

  • I watched Hi My Sweetheart a few months ago. I read that it was popular in China, i got curious so i watched it. Oh my, i regretted spending my time watching it. I just hated it especially the last few episodes. It's like one of those moments when i ask myself, "What am I thinking?"

  • OMG, how come the nominations seem to be the worst representatons of these tv stations. BG - story is worst-than-bad, My sweetheart - waste of time...Better if they choose better drama, fans will at least try to catch their favourite reel-couple....Fated to sink :(

  • What some...interesting nominations. To say the least.

    Of all the dramas to pick that aired last year in Korea and Taiwan...they pick those...

  • At least the Rainbow Awards served some entertainment value i.e. I had a good laugh over it. Seriously, what serious awards would call itself Rainbow Awards? ...

  • LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROFLLLLLLLLLLL :D :D :D
    OMG this awards are a JOKE!!!! **need a moment here** LMFAOOOOOOOO
    OMG srly Bad Guy is nominated!!!!!
    ok ok now that i'm breathing ....I have 2 questions ..
    1. Did the committee watch a delux/xtended version of Bad Guy?....cause
    come on Bad Guy !!!....
    2. Are this ppl on crack?!!!!

  • What do you mean? Methinks any Asian Awards is a joke ._. If Mary Stayed in Hell was nominated instead of BG than this Asian Rainbow Awards is the biggest joke of all lala :)
