The year isn’t over yet and one of the candidates for the SBS year end drama award Daesang hasn’t even aired his drama lol but there is definitely a good feel for what it’s going to come down to by the end of December. SBS has had the most hits out of the big three networks this year in 2024 and there is already discussion over who will get the coveted Daesang. Pundits think it’s between Kim Nam Gil in The Fiery Priest 2 (expected to do good ratings) and three other already aired hits Jang Nara in Good Partner, Ji Sung in Connection, and Park Shin Hye in The Demon Judge. When I scroll through the comments of the article it’s actually like an even split by netizens in who they think should get it between these four so once again SBS is in the lucky position of having a well rounded stable of successful dramas.
Kim Nam-gil already got the Daesang for The Fiery Priest Season 1. Han Seok-kyu did not win it again even though Romantic Doctor continued to draw viewers, so it is possible that SBS would not want to give multiple Daesang awards for the same role.
Ji Sung already won the Daesang for Defendant, so I am hoping that Jang Nara and Park Shin-hye would share it this year. Jang Nara is especially overdue for a Daesang considering her huge improvement as she aged.
Agree I hope jang nara get it this year. Park shin hye is good too so I think she deserve the best actress award
SBS has had a fantastic year (2023 was great too!) and is turning out dramas that are competitive with the cable networks.
