View Comments

• I was super happy for Racket Boys :) All the actors were great and they deserved it.

• Hurray to Kim So Yeon for stepping out of the black/white dress box. ? ?

• These end of year award shows make me realize I barely watched any kdramas this year. Only drama I finished is Yumi’s cells actually…please anyone recommend dramas worth watching from 2021.

  • My favorite drama from last year was JDrama: The Reasons I Dress Up for Love.

    Check it out, Deb! I hope you like it, too. ^^

  • Happiness, Youth of May, Bad and Crazy, Our Beloved Summer.

• Kim So Yeon ?? A veteran actress . I didn't watch Penthouse, but it's for all the times she did a good job ( Iris, Prosecutor princess, I need romance 3,...) Taxi Driver and Racket Boys ??? But SBS give to much awards , they should be more selective for the awards having a real meaning as Golden globes, Emmy's awards,..;

  • Agree. Having too many categories and nominees gives the show less prestige

  • The channel-specific awards are more like thank you awards. "Thank you for bringing in the ratings/getting recognition for the dramas this channel has produced". Still, it's really nice to be thanked considering how many dramas and actors don't get that sort of thank you!

    The Baeksangs are more equivalent to the Golden Globes. The drama winners can come from any channel.

    • Baeksang is equivalent to Academy Award. And there is also Blue Dragon Award. Each of them has categories for both movies and dramas.

    • I would say Baeksang is equivalent to Golden Globes because it honours TV and films like the Golden Globes does. The Academy awards only recognise films.

    • Yeah. Baeksang is like Emmy

      Blue Dragon is the that equivalent to Oscar. And also Daejong/Grand Bell awards

• SBS has more hit dramas under their belt, so they do have more selections. Good thing though that they mostly gave the award to 1 or at most 2 actors. KBS, on the other hand, have fewer categories but each award to an average of 2-3 awardee. So, I guess SBS and KBS have even winners. MBC, for sure have lesser winners.

  No doubt, Kim SoYeon for the Daesang. Penthouse3 may be all sorts of crazy, but KSY's performance was just unquestionable. For the other winners, maybe I'd swap Um KiJoon with Lee SangYoon though, and LSY can have Excellence since OTW is a hit. And a bit weird to me that Racket Boys Tang Joon Sang and Lee Jae In were given the Teen Award, when they would have also qualified for the New Actor/Actress like their co-stars.

  But knetz are abuzz with Jo Byeong Kyu's appearance, as it seems this is his 1st public appearance after his bullying issues (which it seems is still unresolved). Way to get the attention away from the winners.

• Congrats to the SBS winners! So sweet to see KSY and HL giving shout-outs to their hubbies. Only show left uncovered by koala is KBS awards. Then the big reveal of Dispatch 2022 dating couple. Lol. Hope there is one this year. The BTS pr machine is sure busy already.

• The ratings for big three awards shows are out. The big winner is KBS Award Shows I wish the cable channels have their own version too. Make end of the year viewing period all the more interesting.

  • Some commenters said the KBS one has a lot of stars that fans like. Hence more viewers tuning in. I agree as I wanna see KSH with LDY.

  • KBS has all the big weekend and daily dramas which always get double digit audience ratings so they have a bigger audience.

• Congrats to Kim So Yeon!

  SBS has done the Best Character award a couple of times before...however, Kwak Si-yang getting it for his character in Lovers of the Red Sky is jarring. I enjoyed Lovers of the Red Sky despite the wtf-ery in the last half of the drama and I like Kwak Si-yang, but his character was not very memorable and was very one dimensional. You'd expect a charismatic baddie or an adorable supporting character.

  I wish we're not in the middle of Our Beloved Summer's airing since I love the couple in that one.

• Wow at that dress on Kim So Yeon
  w(°ｏ°)w
  So rare at a Korean awards ceremony to see a colourful and interesting cut that fits.

  • The SBS awards were galore with some interesting colored dresses. Honey Lee wore a ravishing red ball gown that was stunning. Oh Na Ra wore an interesting dress as well. I was elated to see some color and not the boring black and white dresses we always see.

• Kim So Yeon best dressed. The rest of the black, white, and neutrals are so prim and ugly. Congrats to the winners!
