Joo Won Takes Home the Daesang for Yongpal at the 2015 SBS Drama Awards

View Comments

• Thanks Koala for truly mentioning that JooWon is so worthy for the Daesang award. He is truly amazing actor and great person. I am truly happy for him. To SBS, thank you very for acknowledging JooWon's great acting and superb talent. Congratulations to all the winners...
  Cheers to all Cuties in the world....
  Happy New Year, Koala and everyone!

  • i thought the article was saying the exact opposite? Just that they can't hold it against Joo Won because he seemed so happy, even though his performance was no way Daesang worthy.

    • Agreed. SBS must give something to appreciate a drama which gave them 20% ratings, the highest rating in that year for them.

• A real travesty was the "Excellence" award going to MGY for her barely there, largely irrelevant performance in "The Village: Achiara's Secret" - SEK totally owned that Drama and put in an astonishing performance, called by some her best ever. But of course the award goes to the "big name" despite the fact that both the part and the performance were actually minor.

  • I'm sorry but who is SEK ? I didn't plan on watching that drama but now I'm curious.

    • Shin Eun Kyung

  • lol~ SEK has a big name tho, she's a veteran actress and a senior to MGY so that "the award goes to the “big name” is invalid~ LMAO! and yes! SEK really did a great job in the village compare to MGY (but Excellence isn't enough for her more of TOP Excellence!) but you can't deny MGY did a good job too, Knets even praise her performance more than SEK fyi~ hahahaha :P so she deserved to received that award :* anyway, we can't change anything so be it (^_-) if you can't then its your choice :P

  • Now that you mentioned it I just realised SEK was left out! Is it because of the scandal she was involved in (which I can't even remember what about..haha! And I'm using the word scandal because that's what the entertainment news used.)But like you said, SEK totally owned that drama.

    But anyway, aww...Joo Won! You do deserve the Daesang for all yr hard work and lack of sleep! I don't really consider Yong Pal his best performance cos the one character that still remains intact in my heart is him in Ojakkyo Brothers. But kudos to him for pulling off Yong Pal and made it somewhat watchable til the end.

  • Agree.
    I adore MGY so much but i don'y think she deserves the award from that drama. SEK acting is goosebump inducing because of how she expressed her emotions..
    If not even the woman who acted as kim hye jin stole the show with her acting and story compared to MGY

  • Sorry but MGY also did a great acting in this drama, I don't know why SEK didn't receive any awards!!! but this had nothing to do with moon she totally deserved that award.

• everyone wanted kim hyun joo or kim rae won to win... joo won was unexpected. There was even a netizen poll in who should win and kim rae won and kim hyun joo had the most votes

• I think networks are now basing their award ceremony on the factor of actors capability of gathering the interest of people with their performance on a specific drama "wither this drama was great or horrible", rather than just their actual performance on that drama.
  Well, he deserves it based on that. He worked that drama alone and made people watch it even though it was such a horrible one, and I think this is a great ability.

  • But I would not say it was his best performance, he did better.

• I see award shows in Korea now either being a popularity vote or just a trophy reward for rating since it help them milk in some cash cow.

  Joo won is great since I do love him but I won't be bias just because I like him. In term of outstanding performance (whether the show was a hit or not) I feel Kim Rae Won more deserving of the Daesang for Punc IMO.

  • For Punch I meant to say!

• Kim Rae Won, Kim Hee Aee and Su Ae should be given more loves. They carried the shows and ratings also pretty good. Those shows were earlier than others which give significant impact on the viewers for the next dramas. Just saying.

• I'll say it again, Kim Rae Won deserves the Daesang award. It's a shame that he got nothing but a damn PD award. What a slap in the face it was to him.

  • I guess this is a split that people would understand(lol?). I haven't watched Yongpal so I don't know about Joo Won(but from the articles I've read he seems deserving). Kim Rae Won(and Jo Jae Hyun) were so great in Punch. I loved to hate them. He should've at least gotten the Top Excellence award. Yoochun was good but not that good.

    Still, award shows are, like koala said, just broadcasters giving tokens of appreciation.

• Don't take it too seriously, the channel broadcasters are rushing to give the pre-military boys some recognition which is a positive thing. MGY won daesang many years ago also.

• It's about the role, joo won role in yong pal doesn't showcase his strong acting,the role is like that but in bridal mask his acting obviously really strong because the charracter need various deep emotion n the drama also amazing, i'm really dissappointed he didn't win that time but now he win it in not so difficult charracter n when his drama less interesting in the last few ep

  • I agree. he was good in yongpal but not like in gaksital. it was my first drama of him and i was blown away by him then. he should have won the daesung for bridal mask but nevermind, he's still deserves it for carrying the show until the makjang fest took over.

    • Joo won shoulf have won Daesang for his Bridal mask and Goof Doctor performances...
      Just not with this Yongpal

  • Agree with you!!! I don’t really consider Yong Pal his best performance cos i think his best best performance in Gaksital and good doctor . Unfortunatelly, KBS close their eyes for his talent

• I believe Kim Rae Won deserve the daesang more than joo won, Punch was an amazing drama! oh well youngpal receives love because of the high ratings.
