It’s only the 2nd year for the Seoul Awards, sponsored by Sports Seoul, but there must either be great marketing or someone knows all the A-listers because this year’s ceremony was nearly as star-studded as the prestigious Baeksang Awards. The big winners were drama My Ahjusshi for television Daesang and the counterpart went to the film The Spy Gone North. Hit drama Mr. Sunshine picked up two acting wins for Lee Byung Hun and Yoo Yeon Seok, and in the film section a lot of winners for acting from the movie Along with the Gods including Ha Jung Woo, Joo Ji Hoon, and Ye Soo Jung. With such an assemblage I really wish it wasn’t the case that 90% of the actress attendees picked white gowns of varying bridal and prom wear. Best dress went to Kim Ah Joong who did pick something pretty and unique but mostly won because she stood out. I’m not complaining that much because everyone looked pretty albeit boring/safe, but this was definitely not a rando award ceremony and will likely be one to keep an eye out for in future years.

They really dont know how to dress anymore. Plus, IU should have won the best actress award for My Mister.
And Lee Seon Kyun should have won over LBH, in my opinion. I wonder if giving the acting wins to LBH and YYS was in any way compensating for the fact that Mr. Sunshine did not even get nominated for best picture.
I totally agree with both of you. I didn't watch Mr sunshine but Lee Byun Hun don't attract my attention even a bit although everybody say he is fantastic.
The acting in Mr. Sunshine was superb. I'm so happy for Yoo Yeonseok. But why didn't Kim Taeri win anything? Hmm.
And again Lee Seon Kyun was snubbed ???. I am just so pissed off that I just don't bother anymore. How the hell did LBH won best actor when he successfully made a dull character even more lifeless? ??? The only thing that I am happy about us My Ajusshi won Best Drama.
you're an idiot, LBH is amazing!! Fans in weibo all expressed the same view after watching.
Don’t lie. Weibo had other comments like don’t force us to watch him, can’t tolerate his private life, he looks like KTR’s dad, and the ending was spoilt the drama.
Yassss OMGGGGG LSK DESERVES EVERY ATOM OF THAT AWARD LIKE DID THEY EVEN REALIZE HOW GOOD HE WAS ON MY MISTER WITH ALL THOSE VAGUE BUT ON POINT ACTING LIKE WOW?? He GOT SNUBBED BIG TIME.
Lee sun kyun deserves the best actor award.
Looks like Korean critics love Lee Byunghun.
The outrage for My Mister in every award ceremony post is kind of funny. Do you really expect it to take all the awards from Best Drama to Best New Actor? Award ceremonies are usually divided between a few high rated dramas.
Exactly! IU still can't beat other actresses for her 'stellar' performance in My Mister
I don’t understand why Lee Byun Hyun keep winning Best Actor for his performance in Mr Sunshine. His performance was the weakest amongst actors in best performing dramas this year. But I understand that getting awards is more on about lobbying for it. He probably have influence backing him or might be chuck of the marketing budget probably goes to this award, afterall most awards are mainly marketing ploy.
LBH deserves every award and even more will come to his way. Say whatever want to say, but he was fantastic in Mr. Sunshine and also His character. Koreans praise him, critics choose/praise his acting, baeksang will give him award too. This is not your faves popularity awards were fans vote, this is acting awards. Haters can choke)))
It's obvious his performance is very well-received in Korea. I was surprised by the loud cheers when his name was mentioned and when he came out to receive his award; considering he isn't "oppa" age anymore.
I agree with you 100%.. The people who said his act is dull.. you should try watch it first before give negative comment..
Kim Sung Ryung looking beautiful and stylish as ever. I'm always amazed at how great she looks being over 50. She's my ahjumma crush :D
I'm happy with the winners.
There were a lot of good dramas this year and if they were good it was thanks to a great team work : PD, writer, actors and all the staff. So they all deserved an award but it's not possible, they have to divide them for each dramas. So if a drama I liked won a award in a some category, I'm happy :)
