First off, Happy New Year to everyone! Of course that also means it’s drama awards time in Korea, with the three big networks trotting out their ratings successes to foist random meaningless awards on. When I first started watching dramas I used to wonder why the winners of the awards have almost zero correlation with the quality of their acting or drama, and then I realized this was just a company end-of-the-year banquet where the boss rewarded the employees who brought in the most sales numbers. That is it. If you think awards such as “Best Drama” or “Best Actor” mean anything here, have I got a flying pig who poops gold to sell you. I still love to check them out for the fashion and to see some of my favorite stars or drama pairings attending the awards together. Especially when it comes to favorite drama pairings, seeing them together again helps give some closure long after the drama has wrapped. None of the three networks gave any award I would pick myself but plenty of pretty stars were on display the past three nights. This is not a run-down on the awards ceremonies or who won, but merely a quick discussion of some stars or drama couplings I follow. I thought the best dressed of all three awards was hands down Yoon Eun Hye. The orange, normally a color I loathe, looks stunning on her. And the lace dress with the tucked midriff and the column drape makes her figure just eye-poppingly sensual. Overall all my faves looked great and for that I happily decree the year end drama awards a success on the fashion front.
Kim Soo Hyun is getting to be such a pro at walking the red carpet at awards show. I wish his entire polished look would extend to the bottom of his pants, which are 2 inches too short. It’s like he got measured for his tux and the grew 2 inches during the time it was fitted and when he put it on to attend the awards.
The scene-stealing youngsters Yeo Jin Gu, Kim Yoo Jung, and Kim So Hyun. Triple amount of perfection.
Lee Yoon Ji, she makes sexy look so classy. Seeing Jo Jung Seok at the same event with her reassures my still broken heart that the princess and her bodyguard might actually have gotten their happily ever after.
Switching over to the KBS Awards, my Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won attended the awards show and helped to sooth my disappointment that Ha Ji Won and Lee Seung Gi didn’t attend the MBC awards. They look fantastic despite Chae Won picking a curiously odd dress that she managed to pull off. Nevertheless, ChaeKi winning best couple at the KBS Awards was my highlight of the evening. They looked sooooo cute giggling over their many kiss scenes.
Finally, last but not least, Yoochun and Han Ji Min at the SBS Awards looking utterly gorgeous individually and together. Han Ji Min’s black princess dress was my second fave gown of the awards season. They also deservedly won Best Couple over at SBS for their Rooftop Prince OTP. I approve, SBS, I approve.

Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki's interactions the whole night were just painfully adorable :) The chemistry and the tension crackled even after they'd finished filming! More dramas with them as OTP, please.
Yes, Yes, Yoon Eun Hye is best dress! That girl knows how to accentuate her assets.Happy New Year!
LOVE YEH's dress, although I'd rather it was just a little bit shorter. The color is absolutely stunning! Glad she didn't go for the omnipresent black or white. The light make up is also on point, but she should have done something with her hair.
The teenagers are soooo adorable! Loved their little musical act! These 3 will do great things in the future, for sure.
LYJ is gorgeus and owns the red carpet. Glad she got an award, but I don't understand her career at all. She's way too talented and pretty to be taking some of the roles she gets.
And Cheki!!!! You two beautiful creatures, you! Please, do humanity a favor and make perfect babies together :D. Really happy they got those well-deserved awards. I wouldn't wear MCW's dress, but she surely rocks it. Loved the shorter hair and natural make up. In SJK's words: she's a goddess.
Yoochun! Han Ji min! I'd like to see them together! :)
Me too! They're still my top OTP...before Hyun Bin/Han Ji Won. :D
I know HB/HJW forever
Love Yoon Eun Hye's dress! It looks very flattering on her :) I noticed that the majority of the dresses at the MBC Awards were either black or white. I'm glad that YEH decided to go with a bold color ^^
I totally agree. Orange really worked for YEH, and the cut of the dress was gorgeous. It even could have been a skirt and a top now that I think of it. It fit so well, I couldn't tell. Love her!
Top Excellence Award Male: Song Joong Ki and Yoo Jun Sang
Top Excellence Award Female: Moon Chae Won (solo)
*This is the highest award besides the Daesung.
SJK: Thank you so much. Im very touched. Im very nervous. When the drama production ends, I always become sick, but after Nice guy I didnt become sick. This morning I was a bit down, due to worrying so thank you. It was actually very burdensome because of the high expectations. I was very troubled. Thank you to the staff, company, the beautiful Chaewon (hehehehe) Park Siyeon, my friend who didn’t get an award Gwangsoo. Sorry man. (Haha Joonki’s teasing never stops). My sunbaes thank you. Thank you writer Lee Kyunghee. I love you (Chaewon? hehe. What? He might be throwing us off)
MCW: Thank you. Thank you. I really didnt expect this. I’m very nervous right now. Thank you to Writer Lee Kyunghee who trusted me to act this complicated character. Thank you to the staff, the actors and actresses. Thank you. Nice Guy was a really fun project for me and I really wanted to play this character and I am so honored to play that character and thank you so much for this great award. I wish to play challenging characters in the future. Thank you to sunbaes, teachers, hoobaes, Song Joongki, my partner (life partner, eh?) Thank you for having such great chemistry with me (BRB dying right now.)
The most adorable thing about this whole moment was that when Joongki won the award, Chaewon was tearing up for him. It was so precious. And Kwangsoo teared up for both Chaewon and Joongki. And Lee Yoo Bi was cheering loudly for Chaewon. LSY looked overjoyed when Chaewon won. These moments made the night.
Also I just love the humility and sincerity of these two. When Joongki won the award he bowed to the other winner (Yoo Jun Sang) and when Chaewon won the award she bowed 90 degrees to the audience and to Park Shi Hoo (who was beaming with pride).
I think PSH & MCW rocked the night...they looked so gorgeous together, more so than SJK & MCW...just my opinion.
Best Couple KBS Drama Awards 2012: Moon Chae Won and Song Joong Ki
Their facial expressions were PRICELESS. It was so deliciously awkward, especially when they broadcast all their kissing scenes, and Chaeki had to watch them all vulnerable in front of the audience. Not only that, but they were so in tune in regards to facial expressions/body gestures. Everybody knows that when you have been around somebody for so long and you begin to admire them (ahem), you develop some of their body gestures.
Here’s a rough translation.
MC: SJK which was your most confident kissing scene?
SJK: All of them (hehe I’ll bet)
SJK: The most memorable was the one in Japan because it was our first kiss and the scenery was really beautiful.
MCW: The most memorable kiss scene for me was also the Aomori Kiss. I also remember the one where I kissed him (initiated the kiss).
MC: Are there any romantic feelings between you guys?
Chaeki: *avoids question* *shy face* We focused on our work. (What a roundabout answer. Did that even answer the question?)
MC: Is there an actor who doesn’t focus on their work? (HAHA I love this MC. She got you there Joongki)
MC: How is SJK in real life?
MCW: He’s very nice, but also naughty. (Now we are getting somewhere.)
MC: Who do you like better PSY or MCW?
SJK: Hong Eunhee (his ideal married woman. What a safe answer haha)
Thanks for the translation!
It's funnier because Hong Eun-hee is the wife of Yoo Jun-sang, one of the MCs. Song Joong-ki being his usual cheeky self <3
Happy New Year everyone. Wow, I am wondering why K2H leads didn't show up? Ha Ji Won, why not? She would have had a spectacular dress?
They really do look good - although KSH needs to relax relax a bit.
Loved MCW's shoes, and I am NOT a shoe persona usually.
The teen trio - so much fun. I hope they can continue together since it seems they are friends.
Thanks!
