Hallyu Star Awards were awarded to Kim Soo Hyun and Park Chan Yeol.
Veteran actress Kim Young Ae was given the Lifetime Achievement Award.

There were hits and misses and one thing I was rather taken back with the Daesang (Grand Prize) award presented to Kim Soo Hyun. No doubt he's a good rising actor but for him to win over veteran actor Yoo Dong Geun and Ji Sung....I think it wasn't a fair play. It was more popularity award rather than him winning the Daesang for The Producers. Ratings were not that high for that drama and it's a short mini drama.

And another thing to point out is Kim Tae Hee winning the Top Excellence Actress award was good for Yongpal fans but I was rooting for Joo Won to win a best actor award. 
And all she did was sleep for first few episodes and then grit her fangs for last few episodes in Yongpal while Joo Won did the hard work...again popularity counts.. Pffft! Mysterious...

Perhaps this year's winner list is something what I have expected and didn't feel think it was correct for the winners. Anyway still congrats to the winners. And for those who have yet to win awards- there are still the end of the year station awards...
