Korean Drama Awards 2014 and the winners are....

The recent Korean Drama Awards (코리아 드라마 어워즈)  was held on 01/October 2014 and the event is to honour actors and actresses who have done well in dramas broadcasted in South Korea. This year's award nominees and winners are a A+ for me...well personally. I think the winners were well deserved and they did well in their career.

The Grand Prize (Dae-sang) goes to actor Kim Soo Hyun who made headlines for his drama My Love from Another Star. He plays as an alien living on Earth since Joseon dynasty till 2014 and met his love of his life- a famous actress Cheon Song Yi played by Jeon Ji Hyun. This drama won the Best Drama 2014 as well. 

The Top Excellence Actor Award was awarded to Kim Jae Joong (JYJ) for his recent drama Triangle as Heo Young Dal/Jang Dong Chul whose live is around the casinos and finding his long lost brothers. Yay! Thumbs up! JJ has mentioned he was hardly given the chance to be on broadcast and he felt so nervous. Fans screamed and cheered for him. He thanked his C-Jes CEO, staffs, family and his 2 dear members Yoochun and Junsu. Awww...wished they were there to see him accept the award. Oh Yeon Seo who plays Jang Bori in Jang Bori is Here! bagged the Top Excellence Actress Award. Excellence Award (Actress) and (Actor) goes to Kang So Ra for Doctor Stranger and Lee Kwang Soo for It's Okay, That's Love.

 And for our new rookies- the Best New Actor award was bagged by 2 new stars- Ahn Jae Hyun (My Love from Another Star) and Seo Kang Jun (Sly & Single Again) . Aww..these 2 new actors are my favorite when they do appear on screen. Fresh, good looking and yet they deliver their roles so well...especially for Kang Jun. Singer Ailee took the award for Best Original Soundtrack for Fated to Love You drama. 

Best Couple Award was given to Kim Sung Kyun and Min Do Hee for Reply 1994 drama. Personally I prefer Reply 1997 drama over the 1994 version. The actors were better in acting and the songs were more familiar to me especially when it comes to H.O.T and Sech Kies (I was during that era along with Shinhwa when they were idols of the 90s!) 


To wrap up the awards ceremony, 3 actors were presented the Hallyu, Global Star Awards. They were Kim Soo Hyun & Shin Sung Rok  for My Love from Another Star and Ryohei Otani for Joseon Gunman. Oh...where's Lee Junki? I was expecting him to receive an award but he wasn't given any for this year. Bleh... 

Ah...not to mention our 2 beautiful emcees for the night. They are actress Kang So Ra and SBS announcer/actor Oh Sang Jin. For those who remember theYoo In Na's brother- the handsome Prosecutor...he is Oh Sang Jin. Kang So Ra is pretty in her maroon lacey dress as the MC for the night. 

Congratulations to all the winners for the Korean Drama Awards 2014!
