48th Baeksang Arts Awards

Baeksang Awards!

This springtime award show has the distinction of honoring both film and television, sort of like the Golden Globes, and has been running for nearly half a century, since 1965. Since it’s not a broadcast station award (where you have a broadcaster giving awards to its own shows) but awards across stations, winning a Baeksang carries a bit more weight than those year-enders.

Still, in the end, Baeksangs are still something of a popularity game, more likely to hand out honors to hit shows than based on pure critical acclaim—I’m waiting for the day when cable shows get to be part of the mix. That means there are a number of winners I tend to disagree with, and a slew of deserving selections that went overlooked.

Basically, as with any award ceremony: Take results with a grain of salt. Heck, take the whole salt shaker while you’re at it.

Now, on to the fun part.

I think my favorite ceremonies for red carpets are Blue Dragons and Baeksangs; the styles tend to be a little more interesting than the year-enders, where you see lots of similar looks and, for whatever reason, often get a lot of people following a small number of trends.

This year there was lots of springtime color. I LOVE COLOR.

Onward!

Okay, so Gong Hyo-jin—who won top drama honors for Best Love—isn’t in color, but she always wears something a little edgy, and I think she’s rocking the short, structured look. I do wish her she weren’t in such blocky platforms; the dress is cool and hip, but the shoe says Just Another Stripper in the ’90s. I haven’t loved Gong’s recent interview photo shoots, but I love the makeup and hair here.

Gong beat out Su Ae, Kim Hyun-joo, Moon Chae-won, and Kim Sun-ah for the award. I would’ve thought Su Ae or Moon Chae-won might have had the edge over Gong’s more naturalistic acting performance, with their heavyweight dramatic roles, but it’s nice to see Best Love get some props.

 

Kim Soo-hyun, looking snazzy. I loved his look on first sight—it’s a little quirky, but he’s working the confidence and the edgy hairstyle. I do love you, Kim Soo-hyun, but I’m a little befuddled as to how you won top acting honors for The Moon That Embraces the Sun OVER Han Seok-kyu (Tree) and Shin Ha-kyun (Brain). I can understand beating out Park Shi-hoo and Cha Seung-won, given Moon’s monster ratings, but Han and Shin? Whaaa?

 

Love love love love love.

Love.

Uee (Ojakkyo Brothers) has been acing all her red carpets in the last year, and she has another adorable, fresh look for this one, where she picked up a New Actress Award. The shoes are great, as are the accessories and her hair. Did I mention I love this?

 

Uee’s co-star Joo-won (Ojakkyo Brothers) also took home an award. I love his look much less, as in, not much at all. He looks like he’s going to the opera in mid-December, and maybe Grandpa dressed him. Then again, he’s adorable enough to get away with it. He arrives with Uhm Jung-hwa and Kim Yoon-seok; below, Uhm also poses with her award and Ahn Sung-ki. Those two were the big winners on the film side with her upbeat comedy Dancing Queen and his intense based-on-a-true-story Unbowed.


 

Suzy has been wearing a lot of short white dresses to these kinds of events, so I wouldn’t mind seeing her try a new look now. But I suppose she’s playing to her “young innocence” image, so why not enjoy it while it’s hot? She picked up a newcomer award for Introduction to Architecture, playing the first-love object of Lee Je-hoon’s affections.

 

Um. I can’t decide how I feel about this. On one hand, Kang So-ra (Dream High 2) is wearing a pretty vibrant color, and the cut of the dress is flattering. On the other hand, it’s electric-blue animal print; suddenly the fresh young thing sort of looks like she’s channeling cougar mom at the cabana, and now I can’t stop singing, Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl…

 

Yoo Inna (Queen In-hyun’s Man) wears blue too, but her gown is more in the princess category.

 

Does this mean that Jung Kyeo-woon‘s (History of the Salaryman) surfer transformation wasn’t real? I kind of dug the blond hair on him, though the man certainly never looks bad suited up.

 

Han Hyo-joo‘s (Dong Yi) gown looks beige in some photos, and pinkish in others. I don’t love the shade, because it nudes her out, which then makes the red lip a jarring contrast. The whole color palette is a little sickly, in my eyes, though her shoes are fabulous.

 

Fashionista Kim Min-hee had a successful movie with Helpless, co-starring Lee Seon-kyun (who had a zillion movies in the past year, it seems), and she’s got a structured white gown on with a huge bow on the side that triggers my childish impulses. I want to pull it. I think she works the pale gown, red lip, and dark hair combo/contrast better than Han.

 

Park Ha-sun! After High Kick 3, I love this girl—whatever the role requires of her, she commits 100%. Looks like audiences feel the same, since she won an award for the show… in the variety segment. It’s a little strange, though I’m glad she won something for that show. I suppose it’s the closest thing to a comedy category?

 

Park Shin-hye appears to be in almost the exact same shade of salmon pink as Park Ha-sun. Both dresses look great, but I’m particular to the super-flattering flow and cut of this one. Park picked up a popularity award for You’ve Fallen For Me… which wasn’t very popular, but it’s more about her than the show, isn’t it?

 

Kim Ah-joong (Sign) emceed the event, and arrives with her co-host, Lee Hwi-jae. This dress seems typical of her style: sleek, simple, modern. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either.

 

I feel like I’ve seen this dusty-rose pink gown before, but it’s sweet on Jung Yumi. The look suits her previous role as Thousand Day Promise’s gentle-hearted doormat better than her current one as a black-hearted opportunist in Rooftop Prince. I suppose the look is appropriate since it’s Promise that earned her a new actress nomination at these awards, though she didn’t win.

 

Here’s her co-star Yoochun (Rooftop Prince), rockin’ a pompadour. I’m not convinced he’s pulling off the hairstyle 100%, but I so prefer him with his hair brushed back instead of that Bieber hair he always seems to sport in his projects. Why??? The world may never know.

 

Two is always better than one? Little brother Park Yoo-hwan was also at the awards, having earned a nomination for new actor in Thousand Day Promise. (Big Bro won a popularity award for Miss Ripley.) Too bad Yoobro didn’t win so they’d have a matching set of awards, although if we’re straight-up comparing those performances (a dangerous proposition, I know), I think Yoo-hwan was more impressive. Though I’d have to say the pendulum swings back for their current projects, where hyung’s rocking as the Joseon transplant in Rooftop Prince, while Yoo-hwan plays the haughty idol star in K-Pop Ultimate Survival. (Yes, I’ve watched it, and I find it fluffy and pleasant, but silly in a watered-down You’re Beautiful way.)

 

It’s not so much that I love this dress, as much as it’s this photo that’s striking. Shin Hyun-bin (Warrior Baek Dong-soo) looks confident, purposeful, and a little bit scary. It’s kind of awesome. Just don’t get in her way; she may trample you.

 

Aw, how cute. The outfit is a little precious on Kim Yoo-jung (The Moon That Embraces the Sun), who may be a wee bit old to pull off the full-on ankle-ruffles and Mary Janes. It’s like something Kim Sae-ron would have rocked at age 10. It is adorable, though.

 

Here’s her co-star Yeo Jin-gu, heartthrob-in-the-making. Noonas, prepare to have your hearts stolen in the coming years. Unless it’s already happened. Although, here’s a sobering reminder: He turns fifteen this summer.

 

Comedian Jung Juri looks like she’s having the time of her life. She beams in every single photo.

 

Lee Kwang-soo (Running Man), so gangly and adorkable.

 

Im Soo-hyang (New Gisaeng Story) was up for a newcomer award, and comes wearing a flowy blue number. Yay for color.

 

Um, no. That’s the first thought that pops to mind when seeing Lee In-hye (Comrades) in her black asymmetrical dress, although individually the components are fine. The slit up one side, the asymmetrical sleeves, wavy tousled hair—sure, all fine. Then you put them together and I’m thinking someone forgot to finish making the rest of the dress.

 

Oh Seung-hyun (Beauty Island) wears lilac; I like the color more than the gown, though there’s nothing wrong with it.

 

Oh Nara (Feast of the Gods) has a nude-peach gown on with a mermaid cut. I hate the mermaid cut. On the upside, this one at least looks like it allows her to walk.

 

I’m in love with this look, worn by Hong Su-ah (I Trusted Men); I may even like it more than Uee’s dress, though it’s a close race. It’s springy and fresh, and from all the photos of the event it looks like the skirt flows like a dream. I’d want to twirl in it all day, maybe in a grassy meadow somewhere, while making daisy chains and nuzzling my pet unicorn. Hey, a girl can dream, and a dress that can make you feel that light and breezy is a winner, I say.

I think it’s also the vaguely hanbok-inspired silhouette that adds interest, replete with that sash hanging from the back. I would wear this to my wedding. Heck, I would have a wedding, so as to be able to wear this dress.

lol Yoochun's self consciousness multiplied whenever his forehead is exposed. but after cutting his long hair to super short hairdo (after SKKS) he kinda flaunts his glorious forehead 24/7 lol! even sports the old school looking hairstyle exposing most of it in Get Out MV.
maybe the basic personality of the character he played made him sport that Bieber hair. (err... heck, he and jaejoong has sported that hairdo waaay before Bieber becomes a singing sensation! XD)

He looks innocent, dorky and playful with bangs covering his forehead yet when he pulls his hair back, he'd look more mature, sexy and charismatic. that's why i really hope Prince Lee Gak would somehow expose his forehead haha. Remember when Song Yoohyun (Miss Ripley) suddenly cut his bangs? totally gave out different vibes of the character. Almost dark.

LOL so Yoochun's character personality can be defines by his forehead and hairdo? hahahaha! he's chunface after all. every single change in his look would give out different vibes. i love this Baeksang look! SUAVE!

Hello, everyone! I'm new here and only recently dived off the deep end of k-drama addiction despite watching a handful of dramas for several years. :)

Although I gather the other contenders were more deserving of the Top Excellence award, I haven't watched those dramas yet to be able to judge, so I'll just say I'm happy for KSH because I liked his performance in TMTETS. ;)

Awards are kinda tricky because despite there being a criteria for judging, ultimately, the final vote can still be subjective.

There's also the matter of numbers. I don't know how many judges they have on the panel for the Baeksang, but when you have, say, 5 strong nominees and just a handful of judges, it will all boil down to a numbers game. Things can get complicated if, as you guys attest, there are several strong contenders like Shin and Han. The votes may be spread among those strong contenders, and just one vote can tip the scale in favor of anyone. This happened several times in the Oscars, I think, and that's partly why Meryl Streep won this year over critic favorite Viola Davis. Maybe this is what happened in KSH's case, rather than purely being a case of him and TMTETS being popular.

I will definitely have to check out TWDS and Brain now considering how you all have been raving over the performances there! ;)

I have watched other kdramas and I must say that korean actors and actresses are very good in delivering the characters...I'm a self confessed kdrama addict... Koreandramas are the best...so I don't think I'll lose appepite for that just because my bet didn't win..it's so childish...

anyway... I still agree with you that he has a long long way to catch up when it comes to acting...but not to anyone...talent is inborn to everybody...

peace be with you guys...=)

i don't think its childish, look at the latest drama, like The Musical, Heart strings and a few more. honestly they can't act and the fact that the win awards over those that delivery their character much much more than they did is unfair and I think its only popularity vote. i did not loss my appetite with just one drama i have seen ALL if not must until i decided its just not for me.

sure he might not need to catch up with these men, but he sure have ONE HELL OF A LONG WAY to be in the CLASS these men are in, and i hope that he gets there, like i said i'm saying he's not talented because he manage to impress my sister "ps who is hard to please" but she agrees that the award should have went to either Han Seok Kyu AND Shin Ha Kyun from he watching Brain and Tree With Deep Roots...

Peaces ^^

I don't know who Shin Hyun Bin is but man those are million dollars shots of her. Woman looks badass and tempting at the same time. I love it.

Uee's styling is great and I think I would like Hong Su Ah's dress more if it didn't have the flowers on top b/c they kinda look like star fish to me. Love its hanbok inspired shape tho. So flowy and purty.

love the gold on Kim Ah-joong's black dress which cud be boring and same ol if nt for it. and yes, HSK got robbed, as much as i love KSH, he's still got more years to come and sharpen his acting skills. and i dont particularly think Uhm Jung-hwa deserves hers too for that category.

and is it wrong that i find Choi Min-sik so sexy?

i like how eccentric some of Gong Hyojins clothes are, i remember loving one of her structured dresses in the past, they always look interesting and she somehow pulls them off :)

if i may add, i was hoping for Park Si Hoo to win.his portrayal of the the oppressed nobleman/tortured lover is so restrained.underacting in a clean way.the Brain actor gave a great performance but if one has to really analyze it,this actor has had a lot of "overacting scenes".tour de force acting to a point that it gives more impact to the viewers over an effortless yet poignantly emotional acting which is psh's for TPM which should have been the best drama as it is able to depict a love story that is so sweet against the backdrop of a real dark and bloody royal era.yo PSH and TPM,you are the real winners.
btw is Baeksang turning to idol culture?!i'm a kpop fan but i know which is which.the 48th Baeksang has turned eyecandy with those popular idols romping away with awards.where is the place for the true actors now?

And I guess you must only be used to actor!Yoochun lol and not be a DBSK fan because I can tell you that out of The Long History of Yoochun's Hairstyles, his Bieber hair is actually the best lol. Less seen of dat forehead, the better.

I'm happy Tree with deep roots got the most importand award! Sooo happy! It really deserved it! And also got one for its Scriptwriting! Amazing!

I was afraid Moon Sun would got it because of its ratings... but the ratings did made it get the award for Best Drama... and I'm sorry, I enjoyed Moon Sun but didn't loved it and didn't think it was that good or amazing.... I watched all the dramas that were nominated (except for Brain)

So between:

“The Princess’ Man”
“Brain”
“The Best Love”
“The Moon Embraces the Sun”

I feel The princess' man is much better than Moon Sun and it should get the best drama.

I really loved TPM so much, the story was solid, the acting was solid, the music was awesome and I still don't get how Moon Sun got over 40% and TPM and tree with deep roots didn't !

Guess people like to watch easy dramas...What the.....

Sorry for my rant everyone.

This comment cracked me up sooo much!! HAHA.

You're watching K-pop Ultimate Survival. I would love if you did a general post at the end recapping your thoughts, if you had the time. I'm not in love with the show, but it's entertaining to watch.

I believe that JGS was late (from a transcript of his speech) but I saw pictures of him. I'm surprised that dramabeans didn't rag on his style this time. I love him (and his style) but I was looking forward to the hilarity. Like TOP, he was wearing a white suit but, while TOP had pinstripes, JGS was plain with some sort of flower on it. It might have even been offwhite or cream. He had on like a white tshirt instead of a dress shirt with it. He also had black dress pants on. I don't know what shoes. In any case, this is like his THIRD time getting that award :)

Kim Soo-hyun, I’m a little befuddled as to how you won top acting honors for The Moon That Embraces the Sun OVER Han Seok-kyu (Tree) and Shin Ha-kyun (Brain). I can understand beating out Park Shi-hoo and Cha Seung-won, given Moon’s monster ratings, but Han and Shin? Whaaa?

^ Well duh! He is managed by Key East Bae Yong Joon the puppetmaster pulled some strings like he always do.
That company are the biggest media player with lots of connections.

I am so happy KSH won the best actor award and TMTETS won the best drama award, I should said KSH deserved the award.
Those 4 nominees did not turn up because they knew they were loose to KSH, I think they too embarassed to attend the ceremony for loosing the best actor award to a 24 years old junior.
Brain,The princess man and Tree deep-rooted, I stop watching after few episodes they are draggy and boring two lead actors are old and boring except Park Sihoo.
