Last but not least in the coverage of year end K-drama network awards is the 2017 KBS Drama Awards held the same night as SBS, with MBC the night before. The big winners of the night were the exceptional veteran actors playing drama dads, with Kim Young Chul of Father is Strange and Chun Ho Jin for My Golden Life … Continue reading →
The year end 2017 SBS Drama Awards was really the Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young show, with the married acting couple basically turning the event into their own lovey dovey showcase and honestly that’s fine with me. They are so low key for so long, let them enjoy the limelight for once when both do deserve it. Ji Sung … Continue reading →
MBC held its year end Drama Awards last night and the winner of the Daesang was surprisingly Park Sang Joong for Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People. It’s a surprise because he wasn’t the male lead of that drama and didn’t have that much screen time for the entire run, but he’s such a critically acclaimed veteran giving it … Continue reading →
The list is out for the nominees SBS is considering for the Daesang at its 2017 Year End Drama Awards, and frankly I’m more interested in who was not on the list since it’s basically a who’s who of prime time drama leads for the year. Ji Sung leads the pack as his Defendant was the highest rated prime time … Continue reading →
I love self-deprecation especially in the entertainment industry since it can get too pompous and self-congratulatory. The 2017 C-star Awards were a blast to watch because it was just stars being sincerely thankful to be popular and having fun being a little bit silly. The winners all had to receive a prize that was either a vegetable or fruit, and … Continue reading →
Turns out there’s been a reversal in holding year end network drama awards, with MBC deciding to hold it after initially considering cancellation, and KBS wanting to hold theirs but now confirming that it will be cancelled this year. KBS hasn’t a hit in the prime time slot with only Chief Kim and Witch’s Court doing okay well, but it … Continue reading →
It’s likely going to be from wifey to husband in award handing come year end at SBS studios. Lee Bo Young is confirmed to host the network’s 2017 Drama Awards along with veteran MC Shin Dong Yup, a year where MBC may not even hold its year end drama awards and drama ratings were even lower than usual across the … Continue reading →
I may differ in choosing the award winners for the 2017 Grimae Awards given by the Korean television producers association but I’m still happy for the recipients. Unfortunately the fashion spirit seems on the morose side with winners Ji Sung, Seo Hyun Jin and Key appearing to audition for the modern K-drama remake of Great Expectations. We have our new … Continue reading →
Chinese actresses continue to stun and push boundaries of star red carpet and awards dressing and the latest event held by the video streaming portal iQiyi showcased four famous stars to their best and unique glory. Yang Mi went with black with gold accents and fun draping, bringing it all together with her adorable small screen son from the C-drama … Continue reading →
I know K-ent acting awards are mostly popularity and ratings driven but when it’s not and I totally disagree there’s a weird disconnect of wondering why this person got a nod. the 2017 Grimae Awards voted on my the Korean Television Producers Association handed out Best Actor to Ji Sung for Defendant, winning Best Actress is Seo Hyun Jin in Temperature … Continue reading →
Since I don’t follow K-pop the interest in the pan-Asian Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) is solely on the attendee star power of many K-stars. The Hong Kong show last night was a total win for me on the actors and actresses who attended and their fashion choices. EVERYONE LOOKED GREAT! Yes, there was the usual black, white/neutral, and red … Continue reading →
Taiwan’s biggest movie awards night was this weekend with the 54th annual Golden Horse Awards, feting the best of cinematic achievements in 2017. I haven’t watched a lick of Taiwan or Mainland awards worthy movies this year so I was watching solely for the fashion and it didn’t disappoint despite not having as many actresses walking the red carpet as … Continue reading →
The just held more elite Blue Dragon Awards this weekend in Seoul celebrated the cinematic achievements of South Korean cinema in 2017 and also memorialized the life and acting works of deceased actor Kim Joo Hyuk. There were basically three colors on the red carpet with black, white, and red, and no I don’t think it was due to somberness … Continue reading →
