Kim Go Eun Takes Home the Daesang at the 2026 Blue Dragon Series Awards as The Legend of Kitchen Soldier Wins Best K-drama
The 2026 Blue Drama Series Awards, the 5th iteration since the formerly movie only ceremony expanded to television, took place this past week and got to highlight dramas that may not have gotten as big in ratings but clearly was quality works is worth a watch. Kim Go Eun, already a multi award winner in both movies and dramas in previous years and across other award circuits, got the Daesang for her performance in You and Everything Else. The drama didn’t win Best Drama which went to recently aired The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, a true ensemble piece and where Yoon Kyung Ho took home Best Supporting Actor in it. Best Actress went to Shin Hye Sun for The Art of Sarah and Best Actor to Park Hae Soo in The Scarecrow. Veteran actress Park Bo Kyung won Best Supporting Actress for The Art of Sarah and one of the highlights was seeing her with real life husband and award winning actor Jin Sun Kyu walk the red carpet and support each other as fellow nominees. All in all a good night for quality television and performances getting the due recognition.













I don’t understand her or her career. She would be nowhere if she wasn’t part of a barren generation of actresses who essentially got zero opportunities in dramas.
Love her and I loved seeing the people around her so excited for her win.
