MBC awards: this is supposed to be about *acting*, right? Giving the Daesang to So Ji Sub over Kim Sun Ah is insane; I love the guy but he barely had to break a sweat for Terrius. #annoyed #unfair
These awards show are not for acting. They are simply a thank you for making our network richer this year. Your drama had great ratings, and we thank you for it.
A decade ago, it may have been about quality performances. But now anymore. This is the same way with KBS and SBS year end awards. It simply a thank you for working for us this year. And hopefully we can do it again next year.
I only consider Baeksang awards as the only credible awards for TV excellence. There’s still popularity attached to it, but their nominations and winners most of the time are performance based. Being nominated there is a high honor.
That’s a bit disappointing. Especially when a lot of great performances by actors/actresses will be overlooked because the ratings just weren’t always there.

They are more popularity awards I guess. There have been very unbelievable winners for Daesang at times only because that person was a Hallyu star.
