2007 MBC Drama Awards

20071231MBC_females

The 2007 MBC Drama Awards was a big enough honor to bring out the Bae Yong-joon out from Neverland to accept the award for the Grand Prize (대상) the highest honor and also the Netizen’s Choice Award.

Yun Eun-hye and Gong Yoo were recognized for their outstanding acting skills for the popular hit drama, Coffee Prince.

The MBC Awards recognizes excellence in acting by being generous with its recognition. Two persons from each category for the best and outstanding actor/actress awards are chosen (sometimes translated as ‘top excellence’ and ‘excellence’ awards). Based on such a system, it seems that almost everyone on an MBC drama picked up an award. A win-win situation for the actors, but at the same time, the seriousness of the awards is watered down. Do they really need 2 separate categories for “top excellence” and “excellence” in acting?

(left to right/clockwise: Han Jimin, Lee Jia, Yoon Eun-hye, Park Jung-a, Nam Sangmi)

All awards aside, check out the star style.

20071230MBC_baeyongjoon120071230MBC_baeyongjoon220071230MBC_baeyongjoon320071230MBC_baeyongjoon420071230MBC_baeyongjoon520071230MBC_baeyongjoon620071231MBC_byj20071231MBC_BYJ_choiwoosu Bae Yong-joon brings matching crutches to the show. Even though the man is ajummafied, his penguin suit is no frills and classic.

20071230MBC_janghyuk Jang Hyuk. The actor recently announced that he and his pilates instructor gf are expecting a baby in February next year. The scandalous actor’s white tie is nearly invisible against his shirt of the same color.

20071230MBC_joojihoon20071230MBC_joojihoon1 Joo Ji-hoon. We all know that the man needs to munch on a few big macs, but trying to bulk up by wearing a rabbit fur vest/jacket/bolero over his jacket is not trend-setting, it’s a fashion faux-pas. Poor rabbit.

20071230MBC_joongi Lee Joongi is wearing a cream jacket that looks 3 sizes too big. In fact, it looks like they photoshopped his head to this outfit. And what’s with all the tanner? Or should I say, “color lotion”

20071230MBC_leejia20071230MBC_leejia120071231MBC_leejia120071231MBC_leejia2 Lee Jia. The actress admitted to designing this dress all by herself. She should have just kept it in the closet. Notice that the string from the word “brightest” on the side of her dress is long enough to be twirled around the finger ? this one is not bright, it’s dumb. Also, the hair in the face, clunky louboutins and the white chiffon prom reject dress screams fashion disaster.

20071231MBC_CP_leeon Lee On (Coffee Prince ) keeps it simple and in reverse constrast with the black shirt and white tie.

20071231MBC_gongyu20071231MBC_gongyu1 Gong Yoo. The cute Coffee Prince star will be heading out for his military service in January. This will probably be one of his last public appearances, so enjoy. Check him out here. (in Korean)

20071231MBC_hanjimin20071231MBC_hanjimin1 Han Jimin in a pale shade of dust. The dress must be borrowed because it’s 2 sizes too big. The makeup, on the other hand, specifically the shiny and rosy cheeks and shimmering eyes look great. Check out her style here. (in Korean)

20071231MBC_koheunmi Koh Eun-mi. Another ill-fitting and ddm looking white dress.

20071231MBC_konghyojin20071231MBC_konghyojin120071231MBC_konghyojin220071231MBC_konghyojin3 Kong Hyojin. Known for her less than stylish picks, the pinkish chiffon number seems to work. And she’s the got the thin stems to pull off the ankle straps. Check out her dress at all angles here.(in Korean)

20071231MBC_leephillip20071231MBC_leephillip1 Lee Phillip. Like Joongi (check above), the man has dipped into the color lotion that’s a few shades darker than his real skin color. Not only that, I think he’s got more makeup on… the darkened eyebrows and rosy colored pout. He just looks fake. Check him out here. (in Korean)

20071231MBC_leeyoonji20071231MBC_leeyoonji120071231MBC_leeyoonji2 Lee Yoonji. Can someone tell these young actresses to pick something that fits them instead of wearing crinkled wax paper? Also, if the dress needs to be shortened into a micro mini, then please hem it so it looks professional and not like you pinned it up with some safety pins. Ugh. Check out a short clip of her here. (in Korean)

20071231MBC_namsangmi20071231MBC_namsangmi120071231MBC_namsangmi320071231MBC_namsangmi420071231MBC_namsangmi5

Nam Sang-mi knows how to pose (with 1 arm resting on the hip), but she needs to work it more. But with such an ugly 2 toned dress, there is only so much you can do. The style is ok, but the color ages her 20 years. Check out her style here. (in Korean)

20071231MBC_parkjunga20071231MBC_parkjunga120071231MBC_parkjunga2 Park Jung-a gives Hyori a run for her money with this simple shimmery peach dress. It’s elegant and hugs her curves all in the right places. A winner. (Park Jung-a picked up an award for Radio)

20071231MBC_parkshinhye Park Shin-hye. Can’t figure out what her angle is. Is she trying to be a chic painter (the hat), a glamourous star (the long gloves), casual (glad garbage bag dress), or sexy huntress (strappy shoes). All put together, this outfit is a disaster.

20071231MBC_yeh20071231MBC_yeh120071231MBC_yeh220071231MBC_yeh320071231MBC_yeh4 Yun Eun-hye. For a change in fashion, the Coffee Prince star dons a long black wig and clown pants pulled up over her chest. There is no other way to describe what she is wearing. Yun Eun-hye ends the year with the ugly bomb. Check out her pants here. (in Korean)

    congratz to all the winners!! happy new year^^

  2. 2 miraigal December 31, 2007 at 8:50 pm

    PETA should really come down on these Korean stars. Recently everyone has a dead animal on their shoulders. Is this the only way to show they are fashionable?

  3. 3 Yin December 31, 2007 at 8:50 pm

    omygod. YEH’s dress isn’t a dress, she just decided to pair her wig up with a really high boob tub all in one trousers. >_<

  4. 4 kari December 31, 2007 at 8:55 pm

    For once Popseoul writes something good and worth reading. I am in awe. I had no idea that you had it in you to post constructive critisims instead of the usual all out bashing.
    This restores my faith in you a bit.
    Gong Hyo Jin, Yoon Eun Hye, Gong Yoo and Lee Junki were the ones i was rooting for. They deserve their awards.

    Sorry to say this, but Lee Jia didn’t really deserve some of the awards she got, except for the Best New Actress award…she only won so many because she benefitted from being Bae Yong-joon’s leading lady which is why she won the Popularity Award and Best Couple Award cause of his fans.

    No bias aside but Bae and Lia shouldn’t have won Best Couple…I see at least 2 couples better than them, like the couple from Coffee Prince and Time Between Dog And Wolf.
    Darn power voter ajumma’s.

  5. 5 jyyjc December 31, 2007 at 8:59 pm

    park shin hye looks horrible. i mean i like the girl but her outfit is here is just..ugh. YEH’s dress looks weird at the bottom.

  6. 6 Yin December 31, 2007 at 9:03 pm

    Jyyjc, I think i already mentioned that it wasn’t a dress. it was like.. trouser all in one. WATCH THE CLIP. ^^ i fell off my seat.

  7. 7 maltesers December 31, 2007 at 9:38 pm

    yeah, what’s the difference between top excellence and excellence awards?

  8. 8 uniquetaste December 31, 2007 at 10:03 pm

    haha. i thought coffee prince’s yeh and gong yoo would get the best couple. bt congrats to all winners! so happy for them

  9. 9 who? December 31, 2007 at 10:09 pm

    yup, thought YEH n GY would grab it. oh well.

    btw i checked the YEH video. and i think popseoul’s description is spot on. i wonder what it feels to be in that…thing. gross.

  10. 10 ChocolateDisco December 31, 2007 at 10:18 pm

    eun hye and goong yo beautiful as always!

  11. 11 xxx December 31, 2007 at 11:07 pm

    yeah, i love coffee prince.. they look good together.. congratz to all the winners..

  12. 12 happy new year December 31, 2007 at 11:09 pm

    congratulations to all the winners! mbc produced the best drama for 2007.

    byj is not wearing a penguin suit that’s his overcoat. you should have posted photos from the awards proper.

  13. 13 k-addict fan January 1, 2008 at 12:04 am

    congratulations to all the winners! Gong Yoo & Yoon Eun did great in Coffee Prince — more power to you all!

  14. 14 sam January 1, 2008 at 12:39 am

    yeah Kari i agreed with you on that matter. This is nonsense and just ridiculous. There is no way newcomer is popular than top hallyu star. Lee ji ah won both best couple with byj and most popularity female award only because byj aunties voted for her as well you see the legend bagged all awards based on online votes. otherwise yeh would had won all awards in which she was nominated. Nevertheless yeh won top excellence award which is more important than those online votes awards. I bet next year yeh can even win highest award
    if she decide on her next project as drama again but i have a feeling she will do movie. yeh said she wanted to look like eun chan as well as a girl so she wore the pants-concept dress. her dress is fine on top

  15. 15 blinkable January 1, 2008 at 12:53 am

    why is it all of them seems to look a tat fat here? bad pics??

  16. 16 YO January 1, 2008 at 12:57 am

    Park JUNG ah got a boob jobb xD look nice ;D

  17. 17 hikaru181262 January 1, 2008 at 1:34 am

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Lee Seo-jin is really ascending fast. He also got an award last year at SBS’s. Honestly, I feel that his facial expressions lack ‘colours’…….something to the effect of being ‘carved’ out of wood! No offense.

    Maybe I could be wrong here abt. his character portrayal in Yi San.

  18. 18 shinjinny January 1, 2008 at 2:26 am

    A couple of things:

    1) Joo Ji Hoon’s rabbit fur bolero has quite possibly got to be the gayest thing I’ve ever seen. Even drag queens would probably pass on that look…

    2) I agree with you about Lee Jia…I mean, it got her attention since I’m guessing she’s relatively unknown but really…the loafers with heels? Ugh.

    3) I really really like Gong Hyojin’s dress, but her hair is veering dangerously towards Bada’s previously disasterous locks.

    4) I’ve always thought Park Jung Ah was beautiful and this proves it.

    5) YEH: Really? Really? Did you really think people weren’t going to know it was a wig? And what is with the harem pants?

  19. 19 for real January 1, 2008 at 2:27 am

    Nam Sangmi looks like a 40 something ahjumma in that ugly brown. She needs to do pilates or sth cuz her arms are chunky and appear shorter than it is. HOw tall is she like 4′8″ around there??

  20. 20 latifah January 1, 2008 at 2:40 am

    congratulations to BYJ, he deserves the grand award because he’s so good in TWSSG.

    btw, whats w/ u guys about ajumma/ajummafied thingy? why do u always have the hots for this word? is there anything wrong if matured ladies like a certain actor ? and popseoul, its 2008 perhaps we can expect better reception from you for BYJ? give the guy a break will ya? be a bit more positive and objective for once, ok?

    peace to all !

  21. 21 Tina January 1, 2008 at 2:52 am

    I’m impressed to see how classy everyone looks!

  22. 22 Brina January 1, 2008 at 3:36 am

    LOL YEH’s outfit was clownish. I just don’t like it..>_>

    All the outfits were ugly to me, but Gong Yoo looked sexy.

  23. 23 Stephaine January 1, 2008 at 4:18 am

    i think yoon eun hye look great but the other girl with her own made dress is juss kinda freaky looking.lol

  24. 24 LegendBoy January 1, 2008 at 4:26 am

    I HATE BYJ; he sucked in the drama “LEGEND”
    Jang Hyuk was whole lot better in Thank You; he acted so well in it. I cried in that drama. BYJ came on a silly drama dealing with magic and power and fantasies; BYJ also looks gay, he’s becoming an “ajoonma” AHHHHHHHHHh. I hate him now; I stopped watching his drama on the third episode. Oh my goodness, MBC made a bad decision.

    Go Jang Hyuk!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. 25 dada January 1, 2008 at 4:28 am

    i liked Yeh’s dress..it looked pretty on her even through the style is different..first time i saw it i was like “wat the hell???” but now i think as long as she looks pretty it doesn’t matter wat she wears

  26. 26 Wicked January 1, 2008 at 4:47 am

    WHAT THE HECK? Best TV Couple :Bae Yong-joon & Lee Ji-ah….*thud* you gotta be kidding me, no way in HELLLLLLLLLLLLL….the BEST TV COUPLE should’ve been Yun Eun-hye & Gong Yoo….anyhows who voted for those two…I mean come on really………….I am speechless, I need to move to South Korea….grrrrrrrrr

  27. 27 Jane. January 1, 2008 at 5:19 am

    Hooray for Lee Junki and Gong Hyojin!
    YEH’s dress is hideous..and so is her wig.

  28. 28 mori January 1, 2008 at 5:49 am

    Lee Junki looks hideous…Joo Ji Hoon is 100x hotter than him.

  29. 29 G.Yoo January 1, 2008 at 5:58 am

    How unfortunate for Yeh Eun Hye and Park Shin Hye to actually have to show up at an awards ceremony in those hideous outfits. I’m thinking they should either have a talk with their coordinator or just fire them. Mm, and Lee Ji-ah should leave the dress designing to the actual designers. What is up with the string-around-the-finger?

    But! Not all hope is lost! Park Jung Ah looks amazing. One of the few dresses I didn’t blanch at when watching the awards show. Also, I just had to note how Lee Uhn is gorgeous in his simple suit. This model actually knows how to dress classy to suit his look, none of that frilly furry stuff. Joo Ji Hoon, please take note.

  30. 30 Lana January 1, 2008 at 6:45 am

    BYJ is so handsome! He needs to cut his hair to neck length, though. YEH is ugly, no matter what she does to try and fix herself up. Why oh why can’t she get her teeth fixed?

  31. 31 its_trish January 1, 2008 at 7:06 am

    YEH could look a lot better..

  32. 32 Annie January 1, 2008 at 7:29 am

    Park Shin Hye looks like a little girl who has been trying on her mom’s clothes. That thing she’s wearing on her hair looks like something a cleaning maid would wear. Eeek what was she thinking? YEH’s dress doesn’t look too bad from the top but the bottom looks ridiculous. Are those pants? o.O Nam Sang Mi really needs to dress her age. She’s so young but she wears things that make her look older.

    LOL at LANA’s comment. couldn’t have said it better myself. =]

  33. 33 nx512 January 1, 2008 at 8:25 am

    i looooooove gonghyojin
    she looks really cute but her shoes look awkward with her dress

    joojihoon and yooneunhye look freaking weird

  34. 34 soju January 1, 2008 at 9:27 am

    wtf is up with lee jiah’s ‘gown’?? it’s got the word ‘brightest’ written on the side and looks like she’s leashed herself to it via her finger? straaaaange.

    and pairing a white dress with black shoes is hideous. not to mention that the shoes themselves are hideous and not matching the outfit at all.

    and don’t get me started on her hair ….

  35. 35 grace January 1, 2008 at 9:47 am

    han ji min is the prettiest. shes just gorgeous and natural!

  36. 36 M3 January 1, 2008 at 11:39 am

    BYJ looks more and more like a ajumma everytime, maybe that’s the only way to relate to his fans.

  37. 37 madyjune January 1, 2008 at 12:08 pm

    i must say although i still haven’t watch legend, how could they won over coffee prince as best couple? i’m a little depressed now. but at least they all won awards…but how come they choose 2 people per each award?

  38. 38 yetaz January 1, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    more hair volume required for park jung-ah.

  39. 39 BB January 1, 2008 at 12:22 pm

    Bae Yong Joon, come on, look like a man, act like a man.

  40. 40 Information January 1, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    BYJ has the most powerful fans calling them “family”.
    Most are loving and supporting him silently.
    But they have a strong feeling for this man and they’ll They made him a multi-millionaire.

    If you’re not happy that your idol did not win, why didn’t you support him/her? instead of sour graping.

    Being a man doesn’t have to be on the outside, most women
    would prefer they’re men to be strong inside.

  41. 41 Tippy January 1, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    What’s with all the animal fur? They should be ashamed…booooooooooo!

  42. 42 Mary January 1, 2008 at 1:16 pm

    Can someone explain how do they come up with the winners? Is this done by fans voting in some sort of a website? Or is their a panel of judges or some sort of judging done to give the awards to the individual who really deserves it? I would hate to think that this is all a popularity contest, and a real acting award. Because all I can see, is Bae Yong Joon getting 3 awards, in every available category he is in. Can someone just pls explain it? Thanks

  43. 43 I DONT LIKE LEGEND January 1, 2008 at 2:15 pm

    BYJ has powerful fans who have been waiting for 3 years to vote for him and their hard work really paid off legend bagged all awards done by online votes. His leading lady also benefited from him alot. if he was candidate in presidential election, he might even win. the whole nation will vote for him. it was unfortunate coffee prince is against the legend
    in all categories. but dont be depressed cp fans at least both
    gong yoo and eun hye won excellence and top excellence award for each.

  44. 44 nurkeyandie January 1, 2008 at 2:15 pm

    i actually like lee yoonji’s dress - i think the hem looks that way coz it’s supposed to be a bubble dress, and her radiant smile makes the whole ensemble work. but what was park shin hye’s stylist thinking? or was he/she thinking at all? it’s so sad, really, coz the girl’s adorable, plus she’s probably one of a handful of female korean celebs who has some meat on her bones…

  45. 45 Use your brain January 1, 2008 at 2:36 pm

    I DONT LIKE LEGEND

    If you want your idol to be successful don’t ever annoy
    the fans of actors/actress that are more senior and got more fans. BYJ fans are all over the world where CP will probably be shown. I won’t be surprised if that drama
    wil flop. Don’t ever understimate YJ and the power of his fans.

    I thought that popseoul think that YJ is not popular in Korea? I’m so suprised that it even feature a man who is not popular is given a fair share of space in this crap site.

  46. 46 elle January 1, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    You know how at the circus there are these clowns that walk on stilts? That’s how YEH looks right now. At first, just looking at the pictures, I thought the outfit was cute, but after watching the clip, I saw what Popseoul was talking about. It just looks weird! When she is walking, it looks like her legs are connected to her back with no torso in between (like the clowns on stilts are all legs). I believe the concept of the outfit was cute, but it was made all wrong! If the waist-up portion of the jumpsuit was way more formfitting, then the outfit would have a torso, and it wouldn’t look like it went from her bust straight to her legs. Then the outfit would look like a sexy jumpsuit. ^_~
    However her hair is adorable with the hair clip. I miss her in long hair :)

  47. 47 marsden January 1, 2008 at 3:09 pm

    hyun young is wearing the same dress that angelina jolie wore last year at the premiere of “the good shepherd”… i’ll be waiting for a “who pops it best”!

  48. 48 jicks January 1, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    @Legendboy
    I also prefer Jang Hyuk’s [Thankyou] performance over BYJ but let’s not go bashing him too much! Not that I am a BYJ devotee myself, but he has an enormous legion of fans across Asia & rightfully so as he has made huge contributions to Korean entertainment.

    Hooray for Gong Hyo Jin! She was awesome in [Thankyou]. And here she looks runway worthy. The “known for her less than stylish picks” comment is a little misleading though- she’s always been a risk-taker in the fashion stakes, occasionally a little too left-of-centre, but on the whole, she pulls off her personal style effortlessly.

    PS- Gong Yoo is delectable in that suit XD

  49. 49 I'am-not-an-ajummas January 1, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    If you don’t like Yong Jun ssi and The Legend team won the awards, don’t bash the actor/actress . Pls look out the rating, The Legend: 29.4% nationwide and 30.7% Seoul from dramawiki based on TNS Media Korea.

    And what you all call “Ajummas fan”, they have the money and power…so what do you expect?? and remember….his fans not ONLY AJUMMAS…!!!

    Even YEH stood up and gave him a bow when he won the awards. Why don’t you all follow YEH’s reaction, respect others especially the senior.
    I love YEH even now….

  50. 50 I DONT LIKE LEGEND January 1, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    I want to apologize if i offended your idols. I never underestimate byj powerful fans. BJY has been in entertainment industry for so many years surely he has thousands of fans all over the world. however cp has got nothing to do with byj fans. The people who like romance and comedy will probably watch cp. i may be devoted fan to yeh but that does not prevent me from watching other dramas and searching about other stars. By judging your comment
    you are definitely not yeh and cp fans so you wont know how popular cp is in southeast asia (especially Singapore).

    Once again i would like to say dont ever underestimate yeh and her fans. Yeh has been voted as top hallyu star in China along with rain. This poll was organized recently.

  51. 51 JP January 1, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    I think YJ is adorably dorky,no matter what .
    the hair will go when King DD is in the can for good,even he must be sick of it too. BUT what will his stylist do next? I think anything is better than that red mess he was wearing for “Sonata” and I like the tail and the tux. He got the show aired in Japan, that must be worth a lot to MBC if not the netizens.

  52. 52 I DONT LIKE LEGEND January 1, 2008 at 4:30 pm

    I’am-not-an-ajummas

    after reading your comment, i feel ashamed myself. but you know i respect byj and even though i am not his fan he deserved the highest award and popularity award.

  53. 53 su_mire January 1, 2008 at 4:48 pm

    just wondering…why is ju jihun at the MBC drama awards when he wasnt even in an MBC drama this year? is it to announce an award or something? just wondering cuz im a fan and i was sad that he wasnt at the KBS drama awards. T-T

  54. 54 Raihana January 1, 2008 at 6:09 pm

    Now why is Lee JiAh n BYJ the winner for Best Couple’?..strange..
    Sad that great dramas like H.I.T n White Tower did not win big but BYJ n co. probably knew it would be their nite..

  55. 55 asdfghjk January 1, 2008 at 6:09 pm

    does anybody know where i can watch the 2007 MNET 20’s Choice Awards online and FOR FREE???

  56. 56 sweety January 1, 2008 at 6:33 pm

    lol i know LEGENDBOY!
    i saw that person in a bYJ blog.
    and know what that person did?
    he wrote comments on every posting on that blog.
    as in again and again and again..
    haha, that person is so poor…
    thats all he do for the whole day
    haha

  57. 57 Use your brain January 1, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    By judging your comment
    you are definitely not yeh and cp fans so you wont know how popular cp is in southeast asia (especially Singapore).
    ———————————————————

    Even if that drama will be successful in other parts of
    Asia, she’ll far from being recognized as a Top Hallyu Star. The big market is in Japan and unless she made it there she cannot be called a Top Hallyu Star.

    Polls can be manipulated esp those can vote many times.
    The poll for MBC Drama Awards can only vote once a day.
    BYJ got more than 82% for the popularity award and 92%
    for the best couple award.

    Making too much noise don’t necessarily mean that the
    popularity is real. Young stars do come and go but only
    the real star will remain. You remember that.

    In fact,i’m not really appreciate with joo ji hoon out fit,but it’s ok his smile and his hair still lovely fine to me.i like jjh and yeh were together,they’re still a perfect pair!.
    lee jun ki also looks kind and warm,i love the way he walk,such a cool.For me, nam sung mi too old for jun ki in time btw dog&wolf.

  59. 59 apple3_pi3 January 1, 2008 at 9:37 pm

    @weet
    lol but then lee jun ki is one year older than nam sung mi XD
    but then in the drama they looked like a really good couple….
    —————————————–
    wt happened to nam sung mi….she looked so much prettier in the dog and wolf drama T__T anyone watching it now?
    —————————————–
    *ohh and yea, does anyone noe where you can watch the MBC drama awards for free??

  60. 60 kismetology January 1, 2008 at 10:37 pm

    WTF happened to Joo Ji Hoon?!

  61. 61 izel January 1, 2008 at 10:51 pm

    they’re so lawbreakingly thin.

  62. 62 kdramafan January 1, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    Gosh there can be people so immature to bash other artistes just because their stars didn’t win. When it comes to popularity voting,there are people who claimed themselves as fans but may not have voted…who can they blame? Just because you think your idol deserved to win, the other idols’ fans have to vote for your idol??????!!

    Before the sour grapes find out how the daesang award is being judged and awarded to BYJ, please don’t critized BYJ..

    Whose acting is better is so subjective, just like you like Actor A and i like Actor B..how could you force others to like the same idol or think the same way as you…. Being able to be nominated already proved that each of the nominee has achieved the minimum standard of good acting..All of them are winners. Regarding the Best Couple Award, every year there are categories voted by netizens, why criticised only this year… your idol may not have won, but you should be promoting her/him in the correct way(eg. like introducing their dramas) and not bashing other artistes..

    …so stop all the bashing on BYJ!!! i’m not an ahjumma fan either……BYJ has fans from all ages,for goodness sake…….

  63. 63 Dumpling January 1, 2008 at 11:40 pm

    @ Soju

    I agree about EJA’s outfit. I’m not liking her in general, so the outfit doesn’t help. I was shocked to read that she is around 27 years old. She seems very, very young like a teenager. I thought she was around 21 or 22. She kept doing this “thug” chest beating thing whenever she faced the camera during the awards. She did it once on stage with BYJ and again later in an interview. It’s just so incredibly childish, this “goth/punk” persona she is trying to create for herself.

    But about her outfit…she made it herself. I read about that before the awards, that she was designing her own creation for the awards show. What a mess it turned out to be. From head to toe, including the ridiculous string coming out of “brightest” and attached to the ring on her finger. She’s not “brightest” and applying that title to herself makes her look arrogamt. Also, her fake shy/coy attitude around BYJ *the entire night* isn’t cute. It’s annoying and immature. I just don’t like this girl.

  64. 64 eek January 2, 2008 at 12:27 am

    why is byj wearing lipgloss? and it’s not even the right colour for him, heehee

  65. 65 eek January 2, 2008 at 12:28 am

    and am i the only one who LIKES what YEH looks like here?

  66. 66 princetroy January 2, 2008 at 3:02 am

    YEH has that unique dress. but what about jjh? why was he
    wearing that fur? and he looks more feminine becoz of his
    emphasized straight body-shaped. lol…his fans were happy
    and back to fantasies again seeing jjh and yeh together.
    they totally forgot that yeh just recently made a no-show
    on his fanmeet…lol.

  67. 67 sattire January 2, 2008 at 5:37 am

    ————————————–

    MBC invites past winners to present the awards, that’s the only reason why YEH and JJH were presenting the Newcomer Awards but this is such an excuse for them to gush about the two of them. And make up dream dialogue scenarios.

  68. 68 lallaine January 2, 2008 at 7:32 am

    Lee Jia? Are you effin kidding me? She really won Most Popular Award? She’s a effin NOBODY. The b itch won so many awards for doing absolutely nothing except sit on her @ _s and be Bae Yong joon’s leading lady. Nam Sang Mi and Gong Hyo Jin deserve the popularity award.
    Dont even get me started on the Best Couple Award..TODAW should have gotten it.
    What a fraud!

  69. 69 Sigh January 2, 2008 at 9:46 am

    @lallaine

    I think you better question the netizens bc they’re the one
    who voted. The best coouple, YJ-LJA got 92% of the votes.
    It’s a landslide victory.

    I agree the LJA is only a newcomer but she’s so convincing as Sujini in the Legend. She even outshined the veteran actresses. I think she’s a gifted actress just like Son Yejin.

    again about YEH & JJH…..they ought to be reminded that
    YEH made a no-show on his fanmeet…and if YEH likes their
    idol, YEH would have sent a video message….lol. they’re
    speculating again that YEH’s glance at JJH tells everything….lol….they couldn’t even show an article
    of YEH saying that she likes JJH.

    they can’t show you an article of YEH saying
    that she likes JJH becosz YEH NEVER SAID THAT
    SHE LIKES JJH but instead she said that
    JJH IS TOO SKINNY and she likes muscular guy.
    but ofcourse they cant accept this but instead
    took it as MISTRANSLATIONS…lol. when it was
    so very visible and understandable even with
    out translations that YEH really mean it….
    REALLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR BRAINS.

  72. 72 lallaine January 2, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    @Sigh

    Yeah I better question those who voted for LJA just because she is with BYJ in a damn series, eventhough she didn’t deserve to win the Popularity Award. Yah really think she would have won if she wasn’t BYJ’s leading lady? Puhleeeease!

    The only thing I agree with you is Son Yejin being a talented actress…but LJA is pure hype…they could have paired a MUTE girl with BJY and his followers would make her out to be some great talent and still vote for her.

    Bottom line Nam Sang Mi, Gong Hyo Jin or even Yoon Eun Hye (though I detest the girl like no tomorrow) should have gotten the Popularity Award.
    It just sucks that someone as undeserving as LJA won it just because of BYJ.

  73. 73 kat January 2, 2008 at 3:45 pm

    i find it weird that each station in korea have their own drama awards i was able to watch kbs drama awards two nights ago.

  74. 74 Sigh January 2, 2008 at 3:48 pm

    @lallaine

    You will need to pray from now that even one of those actresses you mentioned will ever be paired with YJ.
    It’s not really easy you know. Fans of those who’ll not
    be chosen will react like you do. That’s why PD had a
    hard time selecting YJ’s leading lady and decided to give the role to a newcomer. OF course BYJ fans will vote for his leading lady. Who else do you expect they’ll vote.
    Just plain common sense. I hope you give LJA also a chance.
    You can start by watching the Legend then you decide after that if LJA is really underserving as what you’ve said.
    She only did not act, she did so many action scenes and
    she was really convincing that’s why she suddenly became popular in Korea. The Legend is so popular with the young
    generation there as evidenced by the number of postings in the MBC drama site.

  75. 75 sick January 2, 2008 at 5:50 pm

    im done reading popseoul articles. can you not finish writing an article without bashing the celebs? i mean just get over it. if you find something horrible dont keep on rubbing it you might want to look at yourself first and see if there’s nothing to be bash about you.

    seems like jjh and yeh’s outfits are object of criticisms. basically, fashion is entwined with art and it depends on how you express yourself as well. you may not find it nice but hey let me ask this if you’re gonna wear such outfit?! would it look good on you?! i mean duh!! you may not even be able to carry it well..

  76. 76 weet January 2, 2008 at 8:09 pm

    @ apple3

    jun ki is older than sung mi,that’s why she should look young and youngerrr…she’s never been beautiful and fresh,most of korean girls looked thin ,but for her i only saw her big boob in time btw d&w that’s worked.

    by the way nothing for free fruitapple3,lol,at least you have to pay for electric cost,sincerely are you sure you dont know where for free video?

  77. 77 Cassidy January 3, 2008 at 1:15 pm

    Nam Sang-Mi has totally gained weight!!

    I actually like Park Shin-Hye’s outfit.

  78. 78 Bonbon January 3, 2008 at 2:13 pm

    I think Gong Yoo is hot and acted really well in Coffee Prince. It’s a pity that he has to leave right after a hit drama. Anyway, all the best to our Coffee Prince and hope to see his come back soon!

  79. 79 fi0naLee January 3, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    YEH and GY totally deserve their awards! i’m so happy for them! i must say that i don’t like what YEH’s wearing though…

  82. 82 kagandahan January 4, 2008 at 4:47 am

    but why, JJH? what’s up with the fur? and YEH, you looked beautiful only if it were a skirt or a dress…

  83. 83 theonlySpams January 4, 2008 at 4:51 am

    I love being white, do you know why? because you don’t see too many g00ks on white shows. g00ks lack the talent to be on american television. That’s why they have to have their own television shows

  84. 84 mangopuddin January 4, 2008 at 5:28 am

    No offense to anyone or any ajjumas, but i think Bae Yong Joon is superugly. In drama I can overcome almost anybody from their ugliness almost but I just couldn’t do it when I watched Winter Sonata. It got so bad that I stopped watching it at ep. 14. I thought I was doing pretty well when i was watching the school part but later he got uglier. I think he has the gotten uglier recently too with his really bad hair.

  85. 85 mangopuddin January 4, 2008 at 5:30 am

    P. S. Joo ji Hoon really does look bad in the fur, although i still like him. Thank god he didn’t put on as much foundation as he did last year. Yoon Eun Hye looked really pretty and at first i thought it was a dress too bad it wasn’t or else i would totally love it.

  86. 86 natalie January 4, 2008 at 7:11 am

    i agree Jang Hyuk is a way…..better actor then BYJ! and Jang Hyuk in thank you was amazing, it was a great drama. MBC are clueless.

  87. 87 Maybell January 4, 2008 at 12:22 pm

    @mangopuddin

    I won’t argue with you in this bec beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. You might not see what others see in him. To each its own. What I’m surprised about is that you’re wasting your time commenting on a person that you don’t like and you feel is ugly. What a waste of time and energy.

    @natalie

    Again, I won’t argue with you on this bec acting is subjective. If you weren’t hit by his acting, then let it be. But to compare him with who? I don’t know him, sorry.
    As I said, acting is very subjective. We aren’t critics so our opinions don’t even count. Sorry to say, you’re opinion is baseless and pointless.

  88. 88 idiot January 4, 2008 at 11:41 pm

    quote LegendBoy@
    I HATE BYJ; he sucked in the drama “LEGEND”
    Jang Hyuk was whole lot better in Thank You; he acted so well in it. I cried in that drama. BYJ came on a silly drama dealing with magic and power and fantasies; BYJ also looks gay, he’s becoming an “ajoonma” AHHHHHHHHHh. I hate him now; I stopped watching his drama on the “third episode.”
    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    lol i saw legend and BYJ was on episode 1 but that episode was like focused on the CG…
    u said you watched upto THIRD EPISODE???
    FYI, 2ND AND 3RD EPISODE??? BYJ WASNT THERE!
    ( 2nd, 3rd and half of the 4th episode is the childhood time)

    to make him looked bulky that’s why. the fur was used to
    cover his feminine body…and he has beautiful straight
    legs.

    why not fur man! and his body is man enough to be in top 10 hit for girls most wanted to be with. common !

  91. 91 sexychikita January 8, 2008 at 2:31 am

    YEH would have looked really pretty is she was not wearing that awful long bubbly gown. nah, i can’t figure out why she has chosen that outfit. it’s really awful. but hey, she’s still gorgeous, but that gown made the over-all get-up not really gorgeous.

  92. 92 Dovey January 9, 2008 at 2:37 pm

    Wow, everyone looks good strutting their stuff. And as for Lee Jun Ki, I kept thinking he might have gotten dark from filming in Thailand for his “Time Between Dog And Wolf” drama, but I guess I am wrong…

    Hello, I am from Canada and now vacationing in the Philippines. My friends here are planning to visit Korea this April because of the Korean dramas they have watched. I am also interested to go to Korea but not this April. I am trying to influence them to go when Korea is having their movie/drama actors/actress awards. But I don’t know when this will happen. Are you able to inform me as to when and where this event will happen? I have bought and watch so many TV series that I’m curios to see them in person like everybody else.

    Any information you can give me will be appreciated.

  94. 94 lai January 24, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    I watched Princess Hours “Goong” and Joo Ji Hoon was handsome in the drama series. Well, he has his bad angles in photos but in general he is handsome. I think he really has to gain a little weight though. I hope to hear more news about him in the future.

  95. 95 Shelly Smith January 28, 2008 at 6:42 am

    SRSLY? I think Legendboi has the hots for BYJ. Sorry, little boy, way outta your league.

    And I swear to Jeebus, the next person who attempts to call me an ajumma because I love BYJ is gonna have tire tracks from my Harley all over their ass.

  96. 96 afar February 2, 2008 at 7:40 am

    Umm…Was Bae Yong-joon that good?
    Here are my two cents:
    Perhaps my expectation on Mr. Bae is higher than any other entertainers. I saw Mr. Bae’s passion throughout the drama, Legend, however, I feel that the quality of the project, Legend, wasn’t portrayed as much as it could have been (this time around).

    @lallaine

    Watch the whole legend first before saying malicious remarks on LJA, she worked hard on her roles and did action scenes that even men find difficult to do. She deserves respect for what she has done. And you? what are you now, you’re not even popular, you’re just jealous of her.

  101. 101 Vhoguez April 11, 2008 at 3:17 pm

    @drama critics

    C’mon, admit it, you’re just jealous of her. Her role was to be a boyish girl in the series. How could you expect a girly girly to act like she did. *sigh*, jealousy is bad, you’re fans, you only support, you don’t work like the actors do, at least appreciate their hardwork before criticizing them

  102. 102 drama critics. April 13, 2008 at 9:05 pm

    well. she may deserve the new comer award. but definitely popuarity and coupel awards. here are some other that deserve that. she is just riding on BYJ’s fame.

  103. 103 anonymous-D April 18, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    Some of these commentaries borders on ridiculous to downright insane. I mean seriously, why such harsh critiques and ridicule towards people!!!NO ONE HERE KNOWS!! They are purely entertainers for our benefits and for them whatever they want it to be. I understand that everyone here is entitled to his/her opinions, but abusing the person’s character and calling them foul names, makes to whomever the cap fits — PETTY!!! Yes, some of the outfits and styles are questionable , but does that give any of you the right to bash/badmouth the person. I don’t see why you’ll beating up your chests. Are any of you getting any awards? NO!!! Do you live with these people? That’s a double HELL NO!!! So how about, if you cannot critique in a constructive manner, SHUT THE HELL UP and keep your bloody opinions to yourself. Why waste your breath talking crap about those who know nay of your existence. If you go to bed and wake up this event would be like any ole day. So, your favorite actor/actress didn’t get what you thought they should have. Get it together; there are bigger issues in the world.

    P.s. Sujini was awesome in the legend. Eun Hye was Superb in Coffee Prince. Both were very convincing in their roles, give credit where its due otherwise, just shut the Hell up if u nuh have nuttin betta fi seh, thats my opinion. Thank You.
    p. s.s. Both ladies are absolutely radiant. For those who need to look into the mirror, jealousy is an ugly sin.

    absolutely agree with u.. if there’is no bae yong joon factor.. the awards go to YEH for sure…

    and i’m not jealous on her… others actress deserve the popularity award more than LJA.. thought..

  105. 105 precisia August 8, 2008 at 10:24 pm

    BJ,
    Although other people talk about bad about you, I appreciate your talents in Legend, as well as all your Films… Take care about your injuries…Try hard and see your new films with exciting actings in near future
    Your Fans from Myanmar

  106. 106 tigereyes33 August 19, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    huraaayyyyy!!

    congratulations to my Lee Jun Ki!!! you definitely deserve the award…time between dog and wolf was awesome…i liked the ending…

    the legend was okay too…but i didn’t like the ending…

    coffee prince was funny and nice though towards the end it got boring and lost its magic especially everytime YEH cries…

    jang hyuk has always been a great actor…he deserved it too!!!

    well, no comment to the actresses…i don’t really care about them

  107. 107 kindlady August 20, 2008 at 12:05 am

    …just i noticed that Bae Yong Joon definately great…that’s why he got the grand prize….should thank God…

    anyway…i don’t really care about them….but i still keep watching LEGEND….right now, again, again and again…
