2009 KBS Drama Awards
by javabeans
Last one!
The 2009 KBS Drama Awards were also held on December 31, and as with the other two station awards ceremonies, there weren’t a lot of surprises, particularly with the Daesang, which went to Lee Byung-heon. (Lee was outstanding in IRIS, but I think he practically had the Daesang in the bag even before the drama aired — no way KBS was going to score a big star like him and not reward him. Refer to: Song Seung-heon’s MBC Daesang last year.)
All of these awards ceremonies are essentially year-end parties where the broadcasters pat their big successes on the back. That’s why most of the actors given awards were from hit shows, and also why there are few surprises. But of all the awards shows, KBS has the most varied list of winners, and is my personal favorite to look at and comment on, since I’ve seen most of the big shows represented. (Unlike SBS, where many of the winners were from shows I didn’t care for, such as Wife’s Temptation.)
There were, of course, a few puzzlers. I understand wanting to include Kim Tae-hee in the IRIS largesse, even though her acting itself wasn’t outstanding — but her over Kim So-yeon? And I see why they would want to thank Kim Ah-joong for taking on a drama when she could have chosen to build her movie career instead. But how could you award Kim Ah-joong’s acting in Accidental Couple and NOT give one to Hwang Jung-min, who was the largest single source of charm in that drama?

Netizens’ Award, Actor: Lee Byung-heon (IRIS)
Netizens’ Award, Actress: Gu Hye-sun (Boys Before Flowers)
No surprise here, and no contest: 1 big movie star + 1 of the station’s biggest hits of the year = Daesang. Lee Byung-heon came with his IRIS co-star Kim Tae-hee on his arm. (Kim rarely looks bad, but I do think her makeup is overdone so that it washes her out. She looks a little zombie-like in the face.)
Did their IRIS buddies Jung Jun-ho and Kim Seung-woo color-coordinate on purpose?
I can’t believe Kim Tae-hee won an acting award and Kim So-yeon didn’t; maybe fans will agree, since Kim So-yeon was given the popularity award. Lee Da-hae didn’t have a KBS show this year, but will be in their upcoming Chuno in the new year. Also, don’t get me wrong — I think she looks stunning, as usual — but I HATE her dress. The side cutouts aren’t particularly sexy or attractive, and she would have looked so classy and elegant if her dress didn’t have them.
Chae Shi-ra played the title role in the long weekend sageuk Iron Empress, and was rewarded with a Top Excellence Award. She never seems to age, and looks amazing.
Ji Jin-hee‘s The Man Who Can’t Get Married was a less-watched, sorta-disappointing show, but his comic antics netted him an Excellence award.
Choi Chul-ho has had a busy year! He had an MBC comedy (Queen of Housewives) and a KBS trendy (Partner), but it was his role in Iron Empress that got him an award here.
Kim Ah-joong (Accidental Couple) looks like a bride. I can’t wait for the mermaid-shape dress to go out of fashion.
Yiiiikes. You know, I see what Yoon Eun-hye (My Fair Lady) was going for. She’s known for her edgy, bold fashion style and no matter what she’s wearing, whether it be chic or crazy, she holds herself tall. But this reminds me of the Oscars when Angelina Jolie went goth and everyone thought, “I know what she’s doing, and I don’t like it.” I get what Yoon Eun-hye is doing here, and I don’t like it.
She did, however, earn mention for being part of a Best Couple with Yoon Sang-hyun, her co-star in My Fair Lady. This did feel like the station’s attempt to appease both actors given their mess of a drama, since neither star was included in the acting awards. At least Yoon Sang-hyun has his award for Queen of Housewives.
Lee Min-ho! The Boys Before Flowers star was given a newcomer award, and is looking cute and polished. (He has a tendency to look a little unpolished at awards shows — it’s his inner dork showing, I’m sure — but tonight he’s smooth and dapper.) Totally deserves the award.
Kim So-eun was also given a newcomer award, based on her well-received performances in not one but three KBS dramas — Boys Before Flowers, Iron Empress, and The Man Who Can’t Get Married. She’s definitely an up-and-comer to watch.
WTF? And also, sigh. Did Gu Hye-sun think that if she didn’t come dressed as a schoolgirl, nobody would remember that she was in Boys Before Flowers? It’s one thing to come in costume for a character, but when you’re dressing for an awards show, this seems… bizarre. She’s 25, which makes her a little old to be dressing as a high schooler outside of acting roles.
By all accounts, Kim Ji-suk‘s role in this year’s production of Hometown of Legends was a mess of unintentional hilarity. (On the upside, he had a super-hit of a film with Take Off.) He wears his suit well, and does the no-tie look with casual confidence.
His fellow Hometown of Legends colleague Kim Sung-eun was given an award for her part. I think Kim is a good actress who hasn’t yet gotten her big breakout role, though she’s done well in supporting parts. I love the shape and flow of her red strapless number here.
How cute that Sohn Hyun-joo came with his co-stars from Sol Pharmacy, who played his brothers! (They are Ji Chang-wook, Han Sang-jin, and Lee Pil-mo.) Sohn has played a wide range of characters in his career — eccentrics, cranks, bastards — but his sweet, nice-guy turn in Sol Pharmacy was a joy to watch.
Here’s another of their co-stars, Yoo Sun (Sons of Sol Pharmacy), aka Bokifer. I don’t know where I’d wear it, but I want that dress. (That faux obi sash seems to be quite the thing these days, doesn’t it?)
Yoo Hana was spunky Eun-ji in Sol Pharmacy, and comes in a rather voluminous gown. I can’t decide if I like it, or if it makes her look like a mummy. A really pretty mummy.
That slit looks a little dangerous on the front of Jo Ahn‘s pink dress. She won an award, along with co-star Oh Man-seok, for Everybody Cha Cha Cha.
I had to double-check the credentials for Park Min-young, because why is she at the KBS show instead of the SBS one, which was on the same night? She did a KBS series last year, Hometown of Legends, but I’m sure nobody would have thought it odd for her to skip KBS since she actually headlined an SBS drama this year. Well, maybe it makes sense if you consider that said SBS drama (Ja Myung Go) had a painful run and was largely ignored at the SBS awards. (Ja Myung Go‘s Jung Kyung-ho did get an award, but that could have been more influenced by his current SBS gig, Smile.) Also: That dress is short!
Is it also interesting that Moon Chae-won chose KBS over SBS? She had supporting roles in dramas for both stations, and her SBS drama (Brilliant Legacy) was much more successful than her KBS one (My Fair Lady). All that speculation aside, I think Moon is developing a pretty nice fashion sense, and while I wouldn’t call her a fashionista, she often shows up at awards shows and red carpets looking beautiful, youthful, and fresh. The pink looks great on her.
Moon Jung-hee won an award for a supporting role in Iron Empress. I like Moon a lot — she has a great warmth to her — but that dress! It’s like she got caught up in sports bandages, then ran into a vat of hot pink dye.
Choi Myung-gil, left, just wrapped up the trendy drama Invincible Lee Pyeong-gang, while Choi Su-rin (who is really very underrated) had two KBS projects this year — Partner and the short special Kyung-sook, Kyung-sook’s Father.
Ji Hyun-woo, also of Invincible Lee Pyeong-gang, doesn’t look terribly excited to be here…
There’s an appealing simplicity in the draping of Jang Hee-jin‘s (Hometown of Legends) clean, chic dress.
In contrast, Park Han-byul (Everybody Cha Cha Cha) has way too much going on with her dress. That bulky feathery (furry?) fringe, the voluminous vertically-striped skirt… it distracts one’s attention away from her, which is too bad since she’s lovely.
I think Lee Chae-young‘s (Iron Empress) dress could have been cute in theory… but in practice it looks a little sloppy and, uh, cheap?
For a while, Kim Hye-jin was known mostly as “Kim Tae-hee’s friend,” since she played the part as a fellow NSS agent in IRIS. Not really a fan of the super-high slit in an otherwise plain gown.
Park Eun-bin had roles in Iron Empress and MBC’s Queen Seon-deok, and won this night for the former. At only 17 years old, that dress is a bit of a risk… but I actually like it a lot, after getting over the initial surprise. It has an old-fashioned charm to it, but it’s not a costume and therefore feels new and different. The contrast with her youth is what, I suspect, makes it work (in my opinion). It’s busy, but in an interesting way.
In contrast, Han Go-eun‘s (Great Family, which is upcoming) dress is busy, but NOT in an interesting way. Glittery, ruffly, tacky!

Kim So eun was spectacular in iron Empress. my god, she was the best part of the whole whole whole series. Im so glad that even amoungst the bad writing, directing etc. Kim so Eun's true talent just scintillated in BOF. She is truly an actress to look forward to.

I had so much to say.... but seeing Gu Hye Sun in her outfit..... I went blank.
She's such a pretty girl and I was tired of seeing her come as a "director" and plain outfits... but this was a big NO. Though, her hair is better than the original Jandi hair....
I think she's a pretty good actress when it comes dramatic roles, but not comedic. So I can't agree with her recieving an award, and it's pretty cringe-worthy to think about her receiving it in that outfit... which I pray she changed during the second half.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, as for the rest... the majority of today's outfit seemed like a mess!
But Lee Byung-heon was looking good as always (a few others too, but Lee Byung-heon was smokin~)

I want to congratulate Lee Min Ho and Kim So Eun! They're getting Newcomer Awards this year but I'm sure bigger awards await them in the future!
I liked Lee Da Hae's dress....but I'm biased ;-P I think it's very sexy and she has the body to pull it off. Maybe it's a bit risque for an award show and would look more appropriate in a Bond movie?

LEe dae Hae looked the best tonight. Her dress was risky. But i dont think anyone could pull it off but her. She has a killer body.
Da hae actually wore 3 dresses last night. The pink one was more elegant and the yellow was simple.
I think her pink number was more elegant than this dress.
Anyways...GOo Hye sun>>>>>>WTH!!>>> in a way i feel like she didn't care for this awards. She knows she will win anyways so why bother dressing up. What's up with her stylist!! didn't they said something to her!!

I love Lee Da-hae's dress so much, and I love her hair.
Gu Hye-sun...She's a strange little fish. That's all I can come up with.

GHS was trying to be clever but she ended up looking stupid. Is she really considered pretty in Korea? She can look pretty and cute once in awhile like rest of us but she's really very average looking.
LDH has an amazing figure and in a few years after she loses her baby fat on her face she's going to look even more beautiful. And in addition to all that so elegant and graceful.

There was ALOT of MISSES with the LADIES and the GENTLEMEN were better dressed!!! I thought Kim Ah-Joon was going to prom. Didn't like Kim Tae-Hee hair or dress but....
Yes, WTF was Goo Hye Sun wearing?! It's like she stepped out the BOF set & didn't have time to get a gown. Note to GHS: We already know you were in BOF so you don't have to come dressed as GJD. I like the girl. I know she's camera shy and doesn't like to wear dresses but she won 3 awards and I think she's gonna be rememebered for that horrible outfit instead. You're 25, young, plz dress like a lady. I've seen her better dressed! She needs to either get a new stylist or HIRE a one!
Best dressed of the night belongs to Lee Min-Ho & Lee Byung-Heon. Oh, and I kinda like Oh-Man Seok too.
Like others I'm surprised to see Kim Tae-Hee won for the excellence award. Would of liked to see Kim So-Yeon win that instead.

JB, I was wondering whether you knew what would happen if there were two big stars who had starred in two popular dramas for the year for one station. So say if Jang Dong-gun also made a comeback to dramas this year on KBS and had a huge hit. How would KBS choose who should get the Daesang b/t him and LBH? Just curious, because that would be an interesting (and awkward) scenario I would think.
Kim So-eun definitely had a great year. Sad that SoaM didn't get anything. Chae Si-ra looked wonderfully elegant...and ::sigh:: what were YEH and GHS thinking? Thanks for posting the pictures and awards!

December 31, 2009 at 6:54 PM
Ah.....Gu Hye Sun...I was just in disbelief when I saw what she was wearing. Seriously what went through her mind when choosing her outfit??
I was embarrassed on her behalf when she got the best 'couple award' and stood in the same line as Kim Tae Hee and all the others in pretty dresses.
Not that she had to wear a dress, but come on this schoolgirl outfit is a bit much. Was she really NOT finding it awkward being among all the other glamorous actresses??? @___@
And her co-star Kim So Eun actually managed to dress appropriately for her age AND look elegant and beautiful at the same time.
On the other hand, this was the best drama awards this year out of the 3 stations for me. Partly because I think the awards were a lot fairer.
And KBS also seemed to have the bigger, more well known stars. (Although I guess IRIS' cast alone consists of all the big star names lol). As well as mania drama BOF, although SBS did have YAB.
And I loved seeing Kim Tae Hee and Lee Byung Heon together. Regardless of the fact he had way more chemistry with Kim So Yeon in IRIS, KTH & LBH look stunning together, they just outshone everyone else in the 'best couple' lineup. I was just watching them in fascination. They really are a beautiful Hallyu couple!
@ Taohua - for sure, KBS would do what MBC did last year with Song seung heon and kim myung min and split a daesung. They couldnt possible pick one hallyu star over the other. Scandalous!

@EMx
True, they could have split. But last year was the only time I remember the Daesang being split. Before top actors started going either MIA or abroad, I wonder how they did the awards when most actors were active and gathered at a single award show.

Gu Hye-Sun winning the award.... I guess she didn't change. *shivers*

GHS and KTF-come on give them a chance, maybe this going to be the last awards in acting for them unless if their next project going to be another hit..Hope both of them realize that the award is not for talent but more on favouritism and popularity.
I'm glad YEH got 2 awards that night.

I've been looking forward to this post and seeing anyone from Story of a Man to win an award. It was a huge disappointment for me to NOT see them win, for they deserve the awards.
Lee Min Ho deserves his award, of course. I'm still disappointed that no one from Story of a Man is included though.

@ Biscuit - Although MBC have probably set the standard now, if any stations were to get into a sticky situation like that again. Once its been done, it becomes the norm.
I dont know the trend of previous years, but I assume actors know beforehand whether they are to receive an award, and that partly determines whether they want to attend the award show or not?
And I say this because MBC this year didnt give anything to Friend, Our Legend and coincidentally I dont recall any of the cast attending.
But then if all the big stars did gather at an award show I guess the station wont feel as bad giving it to the one they think deserves it. At least its not a two way dilemma - its far worse having one hallyu star missing out than 3 or 4 of them. It becomes more of a friendly competition between them all so to speak, as opposed to feeling snubbed at losing out.
