2. [+552, -43] What are MBC's standards? I don't have a problem with Jo Seung Woo winning daesang but... I don't understand why Jo Jung Suk didn't receive an award and why Ahn Jae Wook didn't receive anything;

3. [+394, -8] I like Jo Seung Woo... but this was not right for Ahn Jae Wook. The daesang should've gone to Ahn Jae wook with Jo Seung Woo winning best actor or the other way around... How did he get nothing? Did he do something to piss them off?

1. [+174, -2] I seriously thought Jo Jung Suk would win a rookie award for his great performance as Eun Shi Kyung... I really, really can't understand this decision! Eun Shin couple!!!

2. [+154, -3] MBC is crazy, how did Eun Shi Kyung not win an award ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ I thought he'd at least come away with best actor, but he didn't even win a rookie

3. [+129, -5] The viewer ratings and acting were just as good as Kim Jae Joong and Lee Jang Woo so why?????? Honestly, we're all waiting for Iris 2 for Jo Jung Suk's suit look, why bother even using Lee Joon and Yoon Doojoon? He's also a better singer than the both of them ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

1. [+169, -1] Kim Jae Won really was good at mcing last night... There were only two MCs but they were way better than the three on another channel. More clean and secure.

2. [+130, -2] Out of the three channels, their mcing was the most comfortable to watch

3. [+118, -2] I didn't care too much for him because I never watched May Queen but he was seriously the best out of all three channels. How did I not discover such a great host until now! I never knew he had such an amazing voice.. I hope he does well in 2013!

  6. i dont get it? so people r angry at the fact that the daesang should have went to Ahn Jae Wook. and that Jo Jung Suk should have been one of the rookie winners. and that han ga in should have not won the award but the othee actress in the king? ok i get it but why make the whole show a joke just for 2 actors. there were other awards and other actors that have won and deserving too. do knetizen ever think something is legit. if these people one than the other fans of the other actors would be throwing fits too

  9. Ohemgee I thought Jo Jung Suk would get the rookie award for The King 2 Hearts he was amazing in his role!

    ReplyDelete
  10. He or She is saying that Jo Jung Suk is the better actor and singer than both Lee Joon and Yoon Doojoon. And everyone is just watching Iris 2 to see JJS suit look? idk what that is but it is true that JJS is a better singer and actor than the both of them combined.

    ReplyDelete
  11. definitely hallyu star ass-kissing. it's not even much of rating ass-kissing. if it is, then golden time & light and shadow should win more. and let's not even talk about quality.

    golden time is the best for me! at least lee sungmin won pd award~ hope to see you all in better dramas next year~

    ReplyDelete
  12. aahh...now i get it?? but so random. iris2 in not on MBC by the way..

    ReplyDelete
  13. true! at least people recognize his acting skill despite how terrible his drama is, so thats why no one from dr.jin come to this award show exp jaejoong.

    ReplyDelete
  14. MBC completely overlooked the king 2 hearts and golden time...what a f*cking joke!! im sorry but some of those winners should have just got the hallyu or populartiy awards and others, who did the real acting should have got the acting awards!! just coz "the moon that embraces the sun" viewing rating MBC practically threw awards at it...btw when it had been airing when there was NO RIVAL COMPETITION AT ALL which a big factor why they were that high, apart from the child actors and kim soo hyun, completely over-rated, and not deserving of the hype! plus how on earth does yoon eun hye get 2 awards and the king 2 hearts as a whole drama only gets one? WHAT A JOKE!!! seriously MBC has just been making f*cks up all month haven't they....

  15. JJ and Yihan bromance was one of the few good things about Dr. Jin. JJ's acting improved a lot though....and he even abandoned his 'idol image' for it (eg. he legit drooled in several scenes). But overall, I agree with you that both Dr. Jin and Jackal were bad projects.....he is not to blame though........he did his part well........the director and production team ugh =____= And it didn't help that both leads in Dr. Jin could NOT act.



    JJ is not a failure in acting. He is good....and still has a lot of potential. He just needs to figure out how to pick good drama's =____= (and save us the headache from watching another Dr. Jin X___X)

  16. This is for her drama not her music.....

  17. I kinda felt bad for Ahn Jae Wook, when he failed to win anything. I thought maybe there was a mixed-up coz usually if your gonna get the Daesang, then you won't win on the Male Excellence category. And Jo Jung Suk should have really won the Rookie Actor(whether tie or not). If you go by the winners, Lee Jang Woo and Kim Jaejong's drama had moderate ratings which K2H also had, so they won because of their acting. Then Jo Jung Suk wins over the 2 on acting. And what's up with showing the face of those who didn't win immediately after the announcement. But you kinda feel bad for those who got their well-deserved award coz the inclusion of those non-deserving winners (some actors and most actresses) takes away the small prestige it has.

    ReplyDelete
  18. jaejoong's acting is good, but people can't understand why the fck jo jungsuk didn't win the rookie award.

    ReplyDelete
  19. lol even if Dr.Jin is a mess..JJ was good in Dr.Jin
    he managed to make his character shine..so he had merit

    ReplyDelete
  20. eventhough I like Han Gain but her winning the actress award is not really a good choice... other nominators like Ha Jiwon, Shin Minah, Kim Sunah and Yoon eunhye are way much better than her in terms of acting...
    indeed this year MBC drama award kinda weird... MBC totally alienated King2Heart, Golden Time and Light and Shadow most of the time though viewers give so much love for these dramas.... then again, it's still a tough competition this year with a lot of great dramas.... I'm looking forward for MBC's dramas in 2013.

    ReplyDelete
  21. she did okay in light and shadow though.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The comments on whom should win are sounding kind of biased =/
    Like for example this one:
    [+129, -5] The viewer ratings and acting were just as good as Kim Jae
    Joong and Lee Jang Woo so why?????? Honestly, we're all waiting for Iris
    2 for Jo Jung Suk's suit look, why bother even using Lee Joon and Yoon
    Doojoon? He's also a better singer than the both of them ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

    Everyone wants their favourite artists to win so...
    And there were so many great act performances this year, I can't pick a favourite in some categories.

    ReplyDelete
  23. this too. He was such a major scene stealer in TK2H though. He definitely should have won that rookie award.

    Jaejoong's effort to do sageuk was definitely obvious and he worked hard for it for sure, but it wasn't enough to win against the more natural actor, Jo Jung Seok.



    Seriously, MBC, what the hell?!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I was rooting for Jo Jung Seok for the rookie award. Even as the biggest LSG fan, I would admit JJS outshined LSG in the drama. Jo Jung Seok's Eun Shi Kyung was definitely the gem of the drama, save for LSG and HJW"s amazing chemistry.

    Worse is Jaejoong winning it. WHAT.THE.HELL.MBC. Usually I understand why this person won over who I want to win, but this is simply incomprehensible. JIN had fairly the same ratings as K2H, so saving that aside, acting is where you judge from, and clearly, JJS wins this over a mile. I love Jaejoong and all, and we all saw how he worked hard for this drama and taking it on as a challenge, but really, JJS was miles better than him.



    I wouldn't even begin why TK2H and Arang was overlooked here. -.-

    ReplyDelete
  25. Just to clarify, many people praised Jaejoong's acting in Dr. Jin heavily in Korea. Including some of the biggest critics who felt he had really arrived as an actor with his role as KyungTak.

    Personally, I hated Dr. Jin. I couldn't watch the whole thing. But Jaejoong's acting was A+ and his award was deserved.

    I don't know why Lee Jangwoo won though. I don't think his performance was memorable enough to have been on the receiving end of the award. So in that sense I agree with the netizens. Jo Jung Suk should have been one of the winners.

    Watching the awards though.... it had its moments of WTH. I couldn't understand why the awards went to some people.

    This. So. Much. So. So. So. So. Much. Someone please tell me why on earth JJS didn't get the rookie award. He deserved it so much.

    ReplyDelete
  27. tbh I can't really reply to this because I did not watch K2H. I can only judge what I watched.

    When I have time I will watch K2H too and judge for myself.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Thank you. In the end everyone is biased lol and there is no denying it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. lol and the winner for rocky award here is two person not just jaejoong but then i think people before we said why he won not him etc should we watch their drama first and try to find why? lol

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm sorry I didn't understand. Did you mean to watch the dramas first? I've watched Dr. Jin, TK2H, I Do, I Do (with Lee Jang woo, the other winner), and clearly, JJS was the best actor among the nominees.

    Lee Jang Woo was nominated for Oh Ja Ryeong is coming, and it's a currently airing daily sitcom. I have no qualms against Lee Jang Woo winning the rookie award actually, because I enjoyed his acting in IDID (even though I didn't like the drama and it's not what he is nominated for) and based from a friend who watching this sitcom, he is good in it as well.

    ReplyDelete
  31. ah good for you and i hope people do that too before asking why coz i doubt they did that. but anyway i agree JJS is a good actor but then why? the same question with me why Ahn Jae wook didnt win any other award ? he is better then Jo Seung Woo.

    ReplyDelete
  32. yeah..i also surprised...i'm not hating jaejoong, but his acting in dr jin just mediocre.. jo jung suk even totally outshined lee seunggi in tk2h..his acting was superb...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm trying to understand why Son Dambi won anything at all...

    ReplyDelete
  34. EXACTLY.
    A friend immensely enjoyed Light and Shadows and said Ahn Jae Wook was phenonemal there, soI couldn't understand as well. :.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I voted up, so should I even explain? :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. As much of a LSG fan I am, and crazy over anything LSG, I agree that JJS outshined LSG in this drama. :/ Eun Shi Kyung is one of the best and memorable dramas characters in my 10 years of watching k-dramas.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I miss you had low ratings than TK2H but how come it’s own so many awards…..it’s a drama still halfway………yoochun didn’t win in popular category but critics category and what was shocking he was not nominated with lee seung gi.lee jun gi.kim soo hyun but with yoo seung ho,yoon je moon etc. etc,the 2nd lead of the drama…..from this it was pretty evident that mbc strategy to make sure that yoochun attend the awards….if they don’t make him win he probably wouldn’t have attended……isn’t in a way insult by mbc who should have put him with lLSG,LJG,KSH etc………….LEE SEUNG GI NOT WINNING ONE AWARD…..REALLY PISSED…ON TOP OF THAT NATION’S TOP ACTRESS HA JI WON NOT WINNING AGAINST HA GA IN…EVEN NOT A SINGLE AWARD….. THESE AWARD CEREMONY WAS A BIG JOKE…….hallyu star award for yoon eun hye….from where that came in a drama awards……….anyways congrats to the winners………REALLY DISSAPOINTED.........

    ReplyDelete
  38. LEE SEUNG GI REALLY OUTSHONE AND DISPLAYED PERFECT ACTING FROM BRATTY KING TO A KING PEOPLE CAN LEAN AND AWESOME LOVER........THE KING 2 HEART WAS SO MUCH DIFFERENT AND RARE FROM K-DRAMA TYPE STILL NO AWARDS.........REALLY PISSED!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Nope, he was terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  40. i completely agree with you about K2H being a rare drama, it created a completely fictitious world (south korea as a sovereign state for god's sake!!!!) but the writers and performances were of such quality and substance that the situations that occured were so believable creating so much tension and suspense (unlike Dr.Jin= EPIC FAIL) but.... oh gosh you might hate me for this, but i kinda get why lee seung gi didnt get the award, *go hides in a bush from hurling capslocks*

    i think ha ji won, jo jung suk, yoon je moon(villian) and yoon yeo jeong(the mother) gave stella perfornances and for them to be ignored, blows my mind! i'm so pissed that they didnt even get nominated, i watched the whole awards show, waiting for some nominations but MBC didnt even give them that. WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY?!?!!?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Huh, JJS outshined LSG in the drama? Seriously? Did we watch the same drama? I don't know much about those actors before, just interested in the story but the king and his acting impressed me very much. I like ESK but in some scenes, he turn me off. Anyway, if compare to other winner, he's much more better.
    And why you keep saying "Even as the biggest LSG fan, I would admit JJS outshined LSG in the drama", I think you just need to say how good JJS is, no need to compare because I think there are 2 different roles and attract different viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yeah... that doesn't explain anything. Her acting is just about as good as her singing.

    ReplyDelete
  43. i'm shocked at the Light and Shadows and Golden Time didn't win major awards more then the jo jung suk not winning the rookie award( I've seen enough award shows to know you win those with popularity+rating). both of these shows got extended because of their ratings plus jo seung woo drama isn't doing so well, in rating wise i believe.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It's not an excuse. Everyone works hard

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sure everyone works hard, but a natural actor beats anyone who tries hard any time of the day.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Trust me, I've watched The King 2 Hearts about 15 times every single episode. LSG did so well in his role as the bratty turned competent king, and it's his best role to date actually.
    I'm sorry if that came across as that. I guess I misspoke then.
    I was just pointing out that while JJS was the secondary role and LSG got the main role, admittedly JJS wins the acting category, even if compared to the main role itself. Shining in your his scenes against the even the main role tells us something already.

    ReplyDelete
  47. lol must be more then YH fans who think YH is a great actor lol

    ReplyDelete
  48. i guess you cant really have everything... I happy danced when I read lee yoon ji won an excellence award but i almost flipped a table when i scrolled down the winners list and Jo jung suk's name was nowhere to be found...!! i was like whuttt is their problem??!! idont know which are the qualification system to select who wins what but so far, he has delivered 3 characters with completely different personalities flawlessly...! andif we're talking about his eun shi kyung in K2H, the results are even less logical... i remember when i first saw him in Whats up? i was charmed by his awesome voice and his acting and def thought i wanted to see more of him acting then when i sawhim in K2H's again, my jaw literally dropped in surprise andi happy dancedwith joy... thats what an actor should do: to make you want to see him again and again with each role he takes... i now wish he can get more and more awesome roles and lead roles in the future -maybe a single, mini album or album too?- and put his talent to good use!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Everyone is biased yes, but some of these awards were really unfair. There are actors who brought life to the entire drama they were in, but they did not get a single award. And then there are actors who were so forgettable in their drama, even with getting the award they got, people still cannot remember them in that drama.


    Jo Jung Suk, Yoon Je Moon, Ahn Jae Wook; without these actors King 2 Hearts and Light and Shadows won't be the drama it was. Switch away JJS and the character Eun Shi Kyung might not even have been so popular. They are actors who breathed life into the characters and it was the character that made the actor popular, not the other way round. On the contrary, Dr. Jin without Kim Jaejoong will still be Dr. Jin.
