Awwwww, such a deserving recognition and a long time coming for K-actress Jang Nara. She’s been in the industry now into her third decade (23 years) and started from the cute plucky young heroines to now a wide plethora of roles and projects that show her continued acting evolution. This weekend SBS held its 2024 Drama Awards a week earlier than the usual last day of the year and all the stars of the more successful dramas attended. Jang Nara took home the Daesang Award for the legal drama Good Partner, and Park Shin Hye got a special Director’s Award for The Judge From Hell. The network gave out three sets of Top Excellence Awards split into different genres so Honey Lee, Kim Nam Gil, Jeon Mi Do, Ahn Bo Hyun, Nam Ji Hyun, and Kim Jae Young all got it. Of the big three networks SBS definitely had the most hits and I’m hopeful a good year will give momentum heading into 2025 to produce more dramas that resonate with and bring back viewers.
