Goblin and Gong Yoo Lead the Nominations for the 2017 Baeksang Arts Awards

View Comments

• Best Director - Lee Eun Bok (Goblin)
  Best Screenwriter - Kang Eun Kyung (RDTK)
  Best Drama - RDTK
  All of the nominations are fine and well deserved, every one of the nominees left a lasting impression
  I’m betting on the drama Daesang to go to Han Suk Kyu, he is really excellent

  • Congrats to ALL the nominees. To be honest i think YOONA and JICHANGWOOK deserved to be on the nomintaed list as BEST ACTRESS and BEST ACTOR for TVkdrama too. both did amazing acting. Yoona and ji chang wook even had to work without full scripts bcos the writer was so lazy and biased. of course Yoona and Jichangwook did amazing acting even without full scripts, Therefore an extra merit for them. (clap, clap, clap...)

• Thank goodness that Flopsuk didn’t get any nomination, he already got a daesang in MBC awards, but then MBC nominated Jin Se Yeon too, and MBC had a voting system.

  • I am not sure what lee jong suk has did to u that u just know to talk shit about him.

  • Where is @missjb, when needed... she has really wise opinion about him :).

    • I hope she does, because "Flopsuk" certainly isn't very wise.

    • I think this is Missjb she cganged her name after I called her out. Coz on other articles completely unrelated to him this troll is bashing him
      Lol so much time on hands

    • @missed appointments: please pretty autumn is not me. I bet we have different IP address to prove it. I might be not a fan of his acting, but please. Not to the extend create different account all together. If i have the need to comment about lee jong suk i will do it with my ID.

  • @missed appoitments in winter, So no one else can’t not like LJS, oh.. okay

    • Not liking is one think. Calling him names is so immature

    • Bashing an actor because you don't like them is completely immature and stupid.. It is disrespectful

• In my opinion, Han Suk Kyu definitely deserves the Best Actor gong. He was passed over the award for Kim Soo Hyun back then. I don't know if Baeksang will do that again to merit the popularity over quality. Gong Yoo may stand a chance if they are going to reward HSK with a daesang. But if it is to my preference, my pick is Nam Goong Min. The man has been demonstrating charisma back to back.

• I’m sorry but Kim Go Eun definitely doesn’t deserve best actress award for Goblin. She was soooo much better in Cheese in the Trap and se played Hong Seol better than Ji Eun Tak. I’m sorry but some one like PBY could have portrayed Ji Eun Tak so much better, she was unimpressive in Goblin, which was a shame because she is a fine actress.
  Also why is PBY nominated for SWDBS? The drama isn’t even finished and Na Bong Sun from Oh My Ghostess is so much better than Do Bong Soon, although I understand that SWDBS made jtbc history, but they could have nominated Park Hyung Sik too.. Kim Ha Neul, Park Shin Hye and Seo Hyun Jin are the only female nominees from this list that I can see why they got their nomination. And I agree that HSK should get a Daesang. But why on Earth didn’t they nominate Ji Sung from Defendant for best actor???

• No lee jong suk?

  • He already got a Daesang from MBC awards, don’t you think that is already enough?

    • So? Han suk kyu already won daesang too

    • @Haeki, Han Suk Kyu is a fine actor who absolutely deserved his Daesang and still deserves it. Ducksuk didn’t even desrve his MBC Daesang, but then, it was based on votes i.e popularity. Han Suk Kyu and Ducksuk aren’t even comparable to each other :)

    • Rofl. What a joke. Did you know when lee yoo ri won daesang in 2014, it based on votes too, why you didnt complain then? Oh because you hate Lee jong suk, when he receive award based on votes you claimed it as popularity when others did its because of acting, right?

  • I was wondering the same.

    • I know the competition is so tough but LJS could have gotten a nomination

  • W isn't that great to be honest... MBC has nothing last year that he won empty house.
    If you put next to other dramas it fails flat in comparison on acting

    • Have to disagree. W was great honestly but the actors' section is really competitive this time

  • I think Jisung deserve that spot than LJS

    • YESSSS!!!

• I find the nominees for Best Actress award are weak against the Best Actors. Tough competition there!! All were fantastic. This list is for 2016, so I guess Ji Sung will be nominated next year. He better !!!! Also that ahjussi actor who acted as the father in the Rebel, he was awesome too.

  Jisoo got nominated for New Actor? He's been acting for a while now. Both PBY and Jisoo got nominated but not our puppy Hyungsik? Not fair.

  As much as I love PBY, I don't think it warrants best actress though...in fact, none in the Best Actress list are fantastic enough.

  • I was wondering where is Ji Sung. If Ji Sung wasn't nominated because Defendant completed not too long ago then why is Namg Goong Min nominated for Chief Kim which ended later than Defendant?

    • Yupe. And not to mention, Strong Woman that is still airing got nominated.

    • Mmmmm that's true. It's a travesty that JiSung is not nominated

  • Hyungsik was already nominated for best newcomer for What happens to my family so it makes sense that he is not nominated here.

  • I'm completely confused about Park Hyung Sik not being nominated. If any other actor is in that part this whole drama wouldn't be as good. I can't think of one other actor that could be so puppy/sexy as Park Hyung Sik is playing Ahn MinHyuk.

    • I agree...I'm disappointed in Jtbc! (+knowing it's their Awards' show) Nominating Park Bo Young and Ji Soo but omitting to include their male lead is like a slap in the face. Should I remind them that without Hyungsik the show wouldn't be this popular. They may think Park Bo Young is the one bringing the ratings but I beg to differ : it's her fantastic chemistry with Hyungsik that made the show watchable and popular. Hyungsik is holding his own very well alongside Park Bo Young. Give the credit where it's due. And no, I'm not that delusional to think he would win (seeing the fierce competition)but they could have at least included him in the list of the nominees. In all fairness, the right thing to do would have been not to include any actors of the show...it's still running after all.

    • When pby is selected for nominees. Is jtbc the one to choose for nominees? Is jtbc responsible for choosing nominees?

    • can not agree with you more.. i am very disappointed that they didn't nominated Hyungsik. It truly is a slap in the face for him.

      Ji Soo is not-so-new comer, isn't He?

• just wondering why Park Hyungsik is not included but Jisoo and Park Bo Young are. he did really well in Hwarang and is pretty good in SWDBS.

  i agree with the commentor that the Best Actress nominees are weak vs the Best Actor.

  • How are they weaker? JJH should be nominated then?

• @anon and @julisean
  I’m sorry But I disagree with you completely. The actress nominees are as good as the actor nominees. You can’t seriously claim that e.g Park Bo Gum and Nam Goongmin are above those female nominees. In fact all of those female actresses have left a lasting impression to viewers with memorable portrayal of their characters. Heck, Seo Hyun Jin’s Oh Hae Young and Park Shin Hye’s Yoo Hye Jung created a Girl Crush Syndrome in 2016. I feel like girls have to be 2 times better than men to get even half the appreciation from viewers that men have. I do wonder why didn’t they nominate Jeon Do Yeon for Perfect wife...

  • Yeah, I just finished The Good Wife, it was an excellent work, from the acting to the writing to the directing and music, I couldn't find much to fault about it. It doesn't seem to be getting much recognition with not even a nomination for Jeon Do Yeon who had one of the most complex female characters of the year.

    • If we are comparing actresses, she should have been nominated for The Good Wife. She beat all the actresses in this category. GHJ is foreever overlooked in awards. She is much better than some of those nominated

  • @Juliesean, true but those actresses are NOT weaker than some of the men in men’s category, you can’t claim that Park Bo Gum or Nam Goongmin are actually better in acting than any of the actresses in female category. So your statement that actresses category is weaker than actors category is false and biased

    • Why are you getting so worked up? We are all entitled to our own opinions. I didn't force you to agree with me.

      To me, none of the actresses can hold a candle to the male leads.

    • @julisean, well to me Gong Yoo is VASTLY overrated and Kim Rae Won deseved nomination instead. Also Park Bo Gum and Nam Goongmin don’t hold candle to ANY of the actresses :)

    • @Juliesean you are super biased. GY's role wasn't any special and he didn't win anything for this movies as well. But yes the ladies can't hold a candle to the male lead.
      In my opinion KGE did much better than GY even her role might not be the best. All the actresses have their reasons to get the nomination and well deserved so.

  • IKR? People just love to put the actresses down because they never good enough.

  • perhaps, i didn't phrase it correctly. i'm not saying that the nominees for best actress category are not good, just felt that there were more deserving nominees like gong hyo jin for jealousy incarnate, kim go eun should have been nominated for cheese in the trap instead of goblin, kim yoo jung for moonlight drawn by clouds, etc.

    for the best actor, definitely missing ji sung for the defendant.

    • GHJ played the same role she has done in every of her drama. While KJY was good for her age but the one the stole the show was PBG and he was nominated. KJY's character fell flat or didn't have much play ground after a while. She could have nominated as best new actress but not enough in best actress category.. KGE did well for her character and had probably the best performance in Goblin. So she deserves to be there even her role in cheese is much better.
      Those judges are better critics than you and me anyways.
      I do agree about Jisung though.

    • KYJ literally did nothing but cry in the 2nd half of MDBC and even in the first half she didn't have much to do except cross dress and be boisterous. PBG was the heart and soul of that drama and without him it would never have worked as well as it did hence his nomination.

      GHJ was good in JJI like she is in everything but that character was nothing to write home about which is probably why it wasn't nominated.

      And Goblin is bound be nominated for just about everything coz it was a record breaking drama on so many fronts.

• - No defendant? No Ji Sung?
  - SWDBS: PBY and Ji Soo? And the drama is still running.
  - Yoona is nominated while she has barely few minutes on the movie?

  Cant at least Kim Yoo Jung be nominated in best new actress? I found the list of best new actors and actress is very strange. Kang Ha Na? Gong Myung? Ji Soo? Min Ah?

  I think Dear My Friends might win big and Goblin go empty hand. Kim Ha-neul or Seo Hyun-jin, I like both role, but it will mean more for SHJ.

  • KYJ has been acting for over a decade so a new actress award would be quite weird at this point. Ji Soo too has already broken out so I don't understand his new actor nomination either.

    The rest of the list is fine except the lack of Defendant and Ji Sung. Why exactly is he missing from the list!?

    • Lee Se Young is a child actor too, with more or less 50 projects. Half of the list are idol turn actor, even jinyoung got nomination.

      It will be Nana or Lee Se Young. Kim Min Seok has pretty good year so far. The funny thing is I see people criticise Ji Soo the most in SWDBS than any other drama he has been on and thats the drama got him nominated.

    • LSY and everybody else in the list (minus Ji Soo) have only just broken out. Before that they were fairly unknown so hence it makes sense to nominate them for the category. KYJ has already broken out and has had a sufficient number of successful projects before MDBC so it makes no sense to nominate her in the category.

    • Ok I check back KYJ was nominated in 2012.

      Also in 2012, Kim Soo Hyun won over
      Cha Seung-won - The Greatest Love as Dokko Jin
      Han Suk-kyu - Deep Rooted Tree as King Sejong
      Park Si-hoo - The Princess' Man as Kim Seung-yoo
      Shin Ha-kyun - Brain as Lee Kang-hoon
      so anything can happen

      Maybe Baeksang will broadcast on JTBC thats why the historic drama SWDBS just get nominated despite havent finish its run.

    • I don't expect kyj to be nominated in new actress category I never see or heard that one actress nominated in same category twice shes been nominated for this category during tmets.time.

  • YOONA DID AMAZING ACTING in her movie ConfidentialAssignment/cooperation, PEOPLE LOVES YOONA'S EXCLLENT ACTING!!! her role is maybe small, but her acting and role had HUGE and BIG IMPACT! she was named the hardcarry of 'confidential assignment/cooperation'currrently her movie ranks #1 kmovie 2017 at Korean box office of Year, her movie beating theking, even her movie is the ONLY kmovie2017 among the TOP BEST of ALL TIMES kmovie by Korean box office.

    YOONA SLAYING!!!! ... ofc, Yoona also deserve to be nominated as Best actress support for kmovie, and also best actress for TV kdrama too.

  • YOONA DID AMAZING ACTING in her movie ConfidentialAssignment/cooperation, PEOPLE LOVES YOONA'S EXCLLENT ACTING!!! her role is maybe small, but her acting and role had HUGE and BIG IMPACT! she was named the hardcarry of 'confidential assignment/cooperation'currrently her movie ranks #1 kmovie 2017 at Korean box office of Year, her movie beating theking, even her movie is the ONLY kmovie2017 among the TOP BEST of ALL TIMES kmovie by Korean box office.

    YOONA SLAYING!!!! ... ofc, Yoona also deserve to be nominated as Best actress support for kmovie, and also best actress for TV kdrama too! SHE DESERVES IT.

  • Actually I think Bo young nomination for best actress is so on point she portrayed her character in a very flawed script to the best I can imagine. She is the savior of the drama (along hyungsik) she is a great actress. And the fact that the drama broke jtbc history cannot see why the astonished reaction at all. For jisoo I actually still wondering how is he still in "new best actor" category lol. Anyway I think the male actors are overrated (personal opinion) let's give some credit to the female actresses as well ugh

• Chief Kim was the best show quality wise. It deserves way more than a single nomination IMO.
