48th Grand Bell Awards
by javabeans
October 17 was the night of the 48th Grand Bell Awards (or, per its Korean name, Daejong Awards), and it was a big event for a few films in particular. And while the Joseon-era David-versus-Goliath action sageuk Bow: The Ultimate Weapon didn’t sweep the categories, it did take home a nice chunk of them.
But Best Picture (and a few others) went to the Korean War film The Front Line (which is probably a good thing, since it’s this year’s entry to the Academy Awards — not that I expect it’ll win or even make final cut. Korean films rarely — never? — do).
A couple of other notable winners: bright, touching comedy Sunny, and the moody, pensive Bleak Night. All are on my Must Watch ASAP list.
WINNERS LIST

Lifetime Achievement Award: Lee Dae-geun
As for the fashions: With a trend toward red, white, and black, it’s not perhaps as colorful as the recent Busan International Film Festival red carpet, and was sadly missing BIFF’s WTF quotient, but some pretty dresses were in the mix.
Kim Haneul grabbed one of a few awards not given to the dominant winners Bow or Front Line for her performance in Blind. Her You’re My Pet co-star greeted her onstage Jang Geun-seok and presented her award. Sure he’s rumply, and his suit doesn’t fit, and he’s wearing sneakers and a T-shirt…but with Jang Geun-seok, it could be a whole lot worse, no?
This is not my favorite red carpet look from Kim Haneul, and actually reminds me of a look she wore in the past, down to the makeup. Hm, was she feeling nostalgic? Forgetful? Or maybe decided to be economical and repurpose a two-year-old gown to commemorate her best actress win? Nah, I’m going with forgetful.
Park Hae-il took home the top acting award for the night’s biggest winner (Bow: The Ultimate Weapon), whose box office numbers are still climbing. Park has made some interesting, critically and commercially successful choices in his career (The Host, Memories of Murder), particularly with last year’s Moss and now Bow. Also: I’m a sucker for men wearing black-on-black. Even if it’s finished off with a Charlie Chaplin hat that looks a wee bit small.
Moon Chae-won is on a roll with Bow: The Ultimate Weapon and The Princess’s Man, and I’m betting this new actress award isn’t the last one she picks up this year.
She wore one of a couple red gowns at the event, but I think hers tops the list. The look is fresh and clean, without being severe.
Lee Je-hoon is going to be a huge star. At least, he should be. I’ve been hearing about him for a couple years, but he really broke through recently with two raved-about performances, both of which won multiple awards this night: The Front Line and Bleak Night. His new actor award came for the latter. He looks great in a crisp, clean tux.
Choi Kang-hee missed winning a best actress award for Petty Romance, but she looks happy anyway. Count on her (and her quirky fashion sense) to pair a flowy, floor-length gown with chunky leather boots. I kind of hate the gown (it’s like an overgrown bib, with a collar — to make it fancy!), but I like that soft-hard, light-heavy contrast.
Bae Jong-ok also missed an award in the same category, for The Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World. The woman knows how to mix classy and sexy.
Another nominee for the actress award was Kim Hye-soo for the comedy-thriller Villain & Widow.
Yoon Kye-sang! Lately I’m seeing him mostly as the adorable, smiley doctor in High Kick: Counterattack of the Short Legs and forgot how badass he was in Phungsan Dog, for which he was nominated in the best actor category.
Jo Sung-ha did win, in the supporting actor category. His movie might have been the violent thriller The Yellow Sea, but thanks to 1 Night 2 Days, I’ll forever see him as the ajusshi who nearly drowned a crew member for breakfast and then danced a victory dance.
Oh, Won Bin (Ajusshi). *weeps for your hair*
One of my favorites of the night. Alone, both Daniel Choi (Cyrano Dating Agency) and Seo Young-hee (Bedevilled) look great, but together, they’re just stunning. Love her dress, love the color, love her shoes. Love HIM.
Lee Min-jung was one of last year’s winners for Cyrano Dating Agency. She didn’t have a movie in the running this year, which must be why she skipped the statement gown and instead picked up something from the old matron widow next door. Hey, she may be a sexy widow, but still: widow.
Seems like there was a bit of a kerfuffle that Shim Eun-kyung wasn’t nominated in the actress category for Sunny, but as a consolation, she has her supporting actress award for Romantic Heaven. She didn’t come to the ceremony (she’s in the States studying) so her Sunny co-star Chun Woo-hee accepted the award for her. Instead, Shim tweeted her disappointment at missing the awards due to her schoolwork. As for Chun, she was one of a number of black gowns of the event, a popular color that was perhaps only to be outdone by white.
Like on Jang Young-nam (Hello Ghost), for instance…
…and Shin Hyun-bin, which is a name I think we’ll be hearing more of. The 25-year-old actress already picked up a Baeksang award for the comedy He’s On Duty, and was recently in sageuk drama Warrior Baek Dong-soo. She’s new, so she’s got time to work on that whole fashion thing. Maybe she’s starting medieval and working her way up to present-day.
But if you’re gonna do white, you can’t get cuter and flirtier than Sunny’s Kang So-ra, who looks so fresh and adorable. That dress is all sweet poofery in front, and then she turns and it’s all saucy corset in the back. It may be short veering on dangerous — why hellooo, big gust of wind — but she wears it with such confidence.
Kim Hye-jin (for a while known as “Kim Tae-hee’s friend” for her role in IRIS) does white too. It’s okay, I guess. I sort of think it would look better without the cutouts in the back — from the front, it’s classy, and the back it’s…not as classy.
Mr. Comedy Hitmaker himself, Cha Tae-hyun (Hello Ghost):
Shin Hyun-joon (Cain and Abel) and Jang Seo-hee (Wife’s Temptation) were the MCs for the night, and came in matching black.
More black for Lee Hwa-sun (Sex is Zero 2). Is it me or are her accessories unnaturally large? My ears hurt looking at her.
Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser) with Park Hyo-joo (Girl K), who proves that red and high leg slits as trends are still going strong:
Song Sae-byuk (Sector 7, Meet the In-Laws) may be nearly 32, but his baby face makes him look like he’s 12-going-on-30.
How much do I love that Jung Soo-young (Coffee House) mixed things up with sparkly red shoes?
I’m trying to think of something nice to say about Yoon Ji-min‘s (Warrior Baek Dong-soo) dress. Um. As curtains, they’d be pretty? Okay, I may have to get back to you on that.
Jo Hee-bong (Blind) looks so happy, which is kind of jarring since I always see him playing losers or gangsters. I know, I know, movies are not reality.
Aw, Kim Ji-woo (Glory of Family 4) came to the awards despite having to Pretty In Pink her gown from two less fortunate gowns. Then again, maybe this is the most unfortunate gown of them all.
Teddy-bear ajussi Go Chang-seok (Quick, The Front Line):
In thumbnails, I thought to myself that there must be a younger Kim Sumi that I don’t know about. Turns out it’s the same Kim Sumi as ever (Hooray For Love), working a strapless gown. Rock on.

We've been talking a lot about him lately on a fan blog and believe it or not its a miracle he wasn't wearing a white t-shirt and jeans since he was in school earlier that day and practising for his upcoming arena tour in Japan until late in the day. I don't know but I think he borrowed the clothes from someone.

Ooooh! I just saw Bow: The Ultimate Weapon in Toronto last week.
I have to agree on the special effects and sound. Very cool. Very very cool. They made arrows sound really scary.
It is funny to see MCW win best NEW actress...How big is that window of time?
And Jo Sung-ha won, too? The King? (He was sooo sexy as Sexy Loanshark in Romance Town. Best purchase and subsequent opening of wine seduction EVER!)

I think it's because this is her first real movie role, so she is premiering as a new actress. I really hope she doesn't pick up anymore NEW ACTRESS AWARDS, but instead I hope she gets TOP ACTRESS or even BEST ACTRESS for the KBS DRAMA AWARDS, because after Princess Man she was AMAZING and deserves it.

I should have taken the boy but it would have been a long drive for his short patience. He would have LOVED it - I'll get the video when it is out. It has the coolest archers ever on screen. Non-stop excitement, the costumes were gorgeous, the lady was awesome.
I have watched so many sageuks on the little screen. What a difference it is to see it LARGE and with LOUD sound.

@ Jomo
Well my son and I decided to go see Bow:The Ultimate Weapon, aka War of the Arrows, a day early and it was also the first time I have seen a sageuk (or any Korean movie for that matter) on the big screen. I agree with you that it was great to see it LARGE and LOUD! The first hour and 45 minutes, I was mesmerized and sitting on the edge of my seat with my hand over my mouth so that I wouldn't shout out or something, but I kinda got worn out the last 15 minutes or so. (Maybe my adrenaline just petered out or something.) I thought it veered just an eensy bit towards "too much". But I'm being picky. Overall, I really did enjoy the movie and I agree the award for sound effects was well-deserved. The visual effects were stunning, too (but the part with the tiger was a bit "forced", imho.)

Jang Keun Suk's hair is because of the role he is currently filming. I think him attending was a last minute decision cause I was following him on Twitter and between school and practising for his arena tour in Japan I don't think he was originally going. But sounded like he wrapped up his activities and picked up flowers on the way to the show. According to his twitter he didn't even have time for makeup just BB cream and some eyeliner he put on himself on the way there. LOL

LOL.. don't know but just look at it. The pants are too long and wide. The jacket sleeves are pulled up probably cause they are long. Monday was a busy busy day for him between school, health exam, practice for his arena tour, project meetings, etc. Only thing he DIDN'T do yesterday was film his drama (his hair is his characters hair). I'm just making an assumption that he borrowed the clothes.

Good coverage - thanks, JB!
Blow by blow:
Jang Guen-Seok - Better this girly cut than the lanky locks - and he IS dressed appropriately (for one of the few times) at these award shows (hello Bo-Ho look! Talking to you!)
Moon Chae-won - best red dress of the night - that bodice bow was done right, and the ruffles? Adorable!
Choi Kang-Hee? Awful. Just awful. In an odd way, it reminded me of Bijork's "dead swan" dress at the Oscars, years ago.
Kim Hye-Soo - gorgeous. She's got upper body for days and that black/greyblue was stunning on her.
Won Bin - Ajusshi needs a new barber, stat. That bowl cut looks like something landed on his head and decided to nest.
Yoon Ji-min has been rummaging in Cher's closet and found the Goodwill box castoffs. Yikes.
Kim Ji Woo? **sigh** A roll of elastic spandex mated with grandma's shiny curtains. Why KJW opted to wear the resulting spawn tells us she's in need of a stylist, pronto.
Kim Su Mi - she's just lovely and wearing bare shoulders/upper bodice at her age is terrific. Just wished the designer had left off the smiley face beneath the "girls".
Winner (by far!) of the night? Kang So Ra, rocking that piece of confection white shortie. Girl was perfect - matching shoes, limited jewelry, small, sparkly clutch and makeup and hair done right! This girl has a great grasp of style (it was apparent the second they showed her on WGM meeting Lee Tuek last week in that dress she wore - perfect!) This newbie is going to show her peer group how to do it in style.

Actually when I first saw CKH's dress, I was startled. But then, I like the way she touched her "bib" (really like a little kid) and her appearance with Chae Tae-hyon was the highlight of the ceremony when they awarded the Best Director They were so adorable, sincere and touching in their "fake" acceptance speeches.
I know javabeans never liked CKH anyway. So I kind of understand where she comes from. :D We all have our preference anyway. But I didn't see any negative remarks of CKH's appearance yesterday on Korean news today. :D

No offence but I find Kang So Ra's dress a bit of a 'show off' though. It was as short as a panty, sorry.

Lee Je-Hoon's performances in "Bleak Night" and "The Frontline" are totally worth checking out. He is so talented =D

I'm so glad Sunny got something because I adored that movie to bits! I haven't watched the others yet but when I get the chance I definitely will.
And...who styled Won Bin's hair? Love the man. Not the hair.

I will check this movie Shin Hyun-bin did because she was really, really bad in Warrior Baek Dong Soo.
She was a wood.

I love Lee-Hwa-sun,Bae Jong-ok and Kim Hye-Jin dress and earrings stunning. I don't care for the slit in the dresses, I'm more of a short length kind of gal........

I hate that curtain dress, its' ugly and rude!. I also don't like the high slit skirt... only some kind of legs can pull that off, others it just looks .... unflattering.

The t-shirt and tennis shoes don't bother me but Jang Geun-seok needs to burn those pants, I'm pretty sure they have pleats. Just say NO to pleats.

Haha, Jang Geun Suk, he's wearing 70's style. His new image for Love Rain.
Girly but ok, I'm fed up with commenting on his clothes!
I Love some of his dramas and movies anyway!

I love the fact that Kim Su Mi actually pulls of the strapless gown. Kudos Lady!
And Jang Geun Seuk - you can do no wrong man, I love you :) despite your non existent fashion sense.
Won Bin's hair : No words.

It's award season already? Whoa, the year went by so fast. I didn't even know it.
Now, commentaries. Moon Chae-won. Whoo! That girl is on a roll! She's like the new Han Hyo-joo or something. And if she is, she'll nab a Daesang by next year. Best ensemble of the night? Kim Sumi. I mean seriously, that lady has a sass that kicks younger actresses' asses. Seo Yeong-hee is a deserving second because that color is lovely.
Is it just me or are there only a few attendees? Usually there's a good 30 or so. The actors are skipping class again, I see.

Why is Daniel Choi arriving with Seo Young Hee? I always find Daniel Choi resembles Ji Hyun Woo, so it's confusing to see Daniel holding hands with Seo Young Hee instead of JHW. Anyways, they both look stunning n gorgeous. He's cute as ever. And i'm utterly surprised to see her so pretty here, as compared to the ahjuma in A Thousand Kisses.

Maybe I'm reading too much TLo (tomandlorenzo.com, only the best celeb gossip blog on earth) and looking at Hollywood red carpet fashion, but why do the Korean female stars keep it so boring?? They only seem to wear white, red, black or nude colours. For such an incredibly fashionable industry (all their clothes look gorgeous in dramas) why are their gowns so booooring???
I demand some dazzling gowns in turquoise! magenta! and forest green!

A few WHO WORN IT BETTER moments, and not digging the trend split dress.. when at front no, side yes, back yes.
=) I've actually watched Sunny just a day ago. Loved it! Re-watched The Art of Seduction and cracked up a while longer.
Anyone seen Hero? A vampire Kfilm in 2010, besides the lame wiring action sequence, the movie is quite entertaining.

No matter what he wears, Jang Keun Suk will always shine the brightest in my eyes. He is truly adorable. He will speaks his mind or wear whatever style he likes and I admire his confidence. The guy is unique.
