MBC 2022 Year End Drama Awards Hands Lee Jong Seok the Daesang and Big Mouth Takes Home the Top Awards

The first year end awards show took place the night of the 30th over at MBC which didn’t have a lot of dramas to work with in 2022 to fete but still managed to pull off the night. Winning Daesang was Lee Jong Seok for Big Mouth which was as expected. The drama also won Best Drama and Top Excellence Actress went to Yoona which was also quite deserving. Hilariously she and Lee Jong Seok took home the Best Couple Award which if you know the drama ending feels like another slap in the face. What was cute was Sooyoung addressing Yoona during her own acceptance speech and making her happy cry, one point for Soshi friendships. Other winners came from dramas Gold Spoon and The Forbidden Marriage but no one from Doctor, Lawyer, From Now on Showtime, or Tracer showed up.
