The first of the three network drama awards was the 2021 MBC Drama Awards which was less about the depth and breadth of offerings (slim pickings this year) but about the veteran versus the youngster for Daesang. It was a genuine competition with two very compelling acting performances that were nevertheless a comparison of a great orange with a great apple. The winner was the more likely choice in Namgoong Min for The Veil (Black Sun), which he hard carried and was basically a drama written for him to carry the load both with physicality and plenty of emotional acting range. The big winner in terms of number of awards won was The Red Sleeve Cuff, which took home best screenplay for the writer and leads Lee Se Young and Junho won Top Excellence Acting Awards for a Mini Series. Junho may have lost out on Daesang but he’s definitely going to ride this momentum to great things to come. The two also won Best Couple which was the biggest lock of the night lol. Veteran Lee Deok Hwa got a Lifetime Achievement Award made even more special because he played a very impressive role as the Daddy King in Red Sleeve. The fashion was still predominately black but when I toggled the pictures for the night so no black outfit was followed by another I realized it was around 50% including the men in tuxes so not as bad as it looked. Everyone seemed to be having fun and Namgoong Min getting teary eyed at his Daesang speech was just lovely. This is his second Daesang of the year after winning the 2020 SBS Drama Award Daesang for Stove League so next year he should aim for a Triple Crown over at KBS.

Junho is a very good looking man.
And commenting on his looks because he has been such an intense Crown Prince and King that I forgot about his looks. And have been intent on him being Yi San that it was his voice, his burning intense gaze that has occupied my attention all these months.
That seeing him today. In the tuxedo has been a shock seeing how good looking he is. When he isn't Yi San. Looking at the world with his piercing gaze.
He really looked dapper and gorgeous in the award show. He assailed my eyes and sensws when he walked on stage to present Lee Deokwa his special achievement award.
And so many moments he shined, I really got teary eyed when the MC mentioned meeting and seeing Junho promoting years ago in a variety show as an idol, and now to getting Top excellence award. How amazing and hard it is to be loved both as an actor and singer.
Another was Seyoung's acceptance speech which really heartfelt. She has been in the industry for so long that i felt it was really hjgh time people dont take for granted the talent and hardwork that she has poures into her craft. Seyoung jjang!!!!
Definitely BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Namgoong Min, he deserved it. He was so brilliant in The Veil.
he is so handsome! especially his smiling face! my heart can't take it
CONGRATS to NAMGOONG MIN AND TO ALL THE ACTORS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED IN RED SLEEVE ???????????????????? . A special ? to Lee Deok Hwa and Lee Junho . I 'm going to rewatch Chief Kim !
NAMGOOOOOONG MIN!!!! He totally deserved the win! His teary speech and the shout-out to his girlfriend? Everything. Thrilled for the Red Sleeve team. A hearty congratulations to all the winners!
As for the red carpet, i'm still stuck in the past with Gong Hyo Jin 's yellow outfit in 2013 and Yoon Eun Hye's orange dress in 2012 . Young actresses don't dare anything and always play too safe . I'm not telling them to be Zendaya, they are koreans and have to take care of netizens of a conservative nation, but for a country known to love fashion ( late Lagerfeld said it himself) it's disappointing .
Exactly !!!! Congrats ?
I wanted Junho to win Daesang hahaha I know award shows are just for fun but I've become hypnotized by his portrayal of San to the point where I actively rooted for him. It's okay, looking fw to his next steps as an actor and congrats to all the winners!!
Was rooting for Junho for daesang but I'm still happy with all that he and The Red Sleeve team won! The best couple award was the best part of the night and Junho and Seyoung doing their little dance was adorable. Hope to see them both in even more awesome projects.
Congrats to Nam Goong-min though I personally think Lee Jun-ho deserves the Daesang more than the former.
I think jungo is a great actor but daesang is given to someone who's more capable not in acting but allover , like Lee swung gi wins it a lot just like Nam going min cause they basically are the face for the drama , jungo is good but he has to do more . Unlike junho who got his first innings because of being a idol other worked harder as an actor
Funny how you can't even spell Junho's name properly.. why bother dissing other ppl's effort when you don't even know them? Bitter much?
I was rooting for someone from red sleeve to get Daesang but Nam Goong Min is deserving too.So congratulations.
Although the competition was not much but i think the awards were chosen quite well.
However I do think red sleeve writer shouldn't have won because first of all this is an adaptation and she messed up the pacing.
It was funny how people were trolling mbc for holding an award show with 4 mini series. But it ended up having the highest ratings yesterday. Red sleeve is indeed well loved.
Also, Junho Seyoung were definitely the most anticipated ones as their best couple segment recorded the peak in ratings.
Congratulations ???. Especially the red sleeve team for sweeping 8 awards.
I am positive that they can get lots of nominations in Baeksang.
Idk abt other categories but Red sleeve director definitely deserves a baeksang award.
