Fight My Way for Best Drama???

Did I miss a great show?

and Park Seo Joon for Best Actor? The list looks okay overall and I’m excited for my favs.

    Fight My Way wasn’t bad in the beginning. But then they started dating and Kim Ji Won started talking with aegyo and I HATED it. It mightn’t have been as bad if PSJ’s character hadn’t gagged everytime she had aegyo’ed before they began dating. But they go out and he suddenly finds it cute? No. I hated it so much that I hated the whole drama.

      Yeah, I didn’t remember it getting good reviews. I thought it was one of those shows you’d watch if you are a fan of the lead.

      I shouldn’t be surprised at anything that awards ceremony throws up, even if it’s Baeksang, the supposedly more credible one. However, FMY and PSJ stood out amidst nominees like Mother, Secret Forest, Jo Seung Woo, Kim Sang Joong, Jang Hyuk and Chun Ho Jin.

        Yeah, I wasn’t following the news but was really surprised seeing FMW and PSJ among the nominees on the fan walls.

        If Forest of Secrets doesn’t win then I don’t know anymore.

    Fight my way was alright but I didn’t feel it’s right to put Fight My Way in Best Drama category

    We basically posted the same thing. Even the FMW fans also were quite surprised to see it got nominated for Best Drama. Not saying romcom doesn’t deserve to be the best drama, maybe something like Go Back Couple imo was more deserving. My Golden Life also didn’t deserve to be nominated but maybe they couldn’t just disregard the highest rated drama of the year.

      Oh yes! Go Back Couple was so good! Jang Nara should have been nominated.

      I am clueless on weekend drama so I have no idea although it seems Shin Hye Sun got good reviews. I can believe that because she made an impression on me in FOS.

      For Best Actor, how about people like Ji Sung or Eom Ki Joon? Was Defendant considered in the previous year? There’s also Kim Nam Gil, Lee Dong Gun, Yeon Woo Jin who gave better performances.

        Shin Hye-sun was really good in it, but the storyline wasn’t refreshing or even a good one either. I don’t remember if Ji Sung was nominated last year so maybe it means no nomination this year for him. Rating still matters in any award, so that’s alone means no chance for SDQ. Funny thing is, SDQ’s rating last year will be considered good this year though. Jang Nara should have been nominated instead of Kim Hee Sun – I would have been so. salty if Kim Sunah isn’t nominated again. hmm. I’m also sad no Park Eun-bin for Best New Actress for Age of Youth, she was robbed last year during Korean & Seoul Drama Awards for same category, and not even nominated for Beaksang this year too.
