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.
Bae Yong-joon brings matching crutches to the show. Even though the man is ajummafied, his penguin suit is no frills and classic.
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.
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.
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”
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.
Lee On (Coffee Prince ) keeps it simple and in reverse constrast with the black shirt and white tie.
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)
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)
Koh Eun-mi. Another ill-fitting and ddm looking white dress.
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.
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)

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

His/her life is dedicated to Bashing BYJ.
So pathetic.
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.
@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??
WTF happened to Joo Ji Hoon?!
they’re so lawbreakingly thin.
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…….
@ 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.
why is byj wearing lipgloss? and it’s not even the right colour for him, heehee
and am i the only one who LIKES what YEH looks like here?
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.

————————————–
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.
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!
@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.

hahaha…..absolutley, there’s something wrong with
their brains. they’re back to hallucinating and dreaming
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.
coffee addict:
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.
@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.
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.
@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.
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..
@ 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?
Nam Sang-Mi has totally gained weight!!
I actually like Park Shin-Hye’s outfit.
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!
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…
Popseoul’s mother is a stinky slut.
congrats to all the winners!!!! Most especially to my idol Yoon Eun-hye!!!!Congatz and hope that you will be continuesly blessed for a lot more awards and movies!!!GoGoGo Eun-hye!!!!Love lots and GOD BLESS!!!
but why, JJH? what’s up with the fur? and YEH, you looked beautiful only if it were a skirt or a dress…
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
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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)
YOU IDIOT!
kagandahan:
but why, JJH? what’s up with the fur? and YEH, you looked beautiful only if it were a skirt or a dress…
——————————————————–
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
A U.S.A Viewer.
i am from mongolia i am rain’s fan i find mail girl friend i am 18 and i am handsome boy please check mail thank you so much korean guys
lee ji ah. sooooooooo freakin overrated. geez. she reach where she is and all the awards ( apart from new comer award) was totally relied on bae yong jun and his fans. i hate her so much. she looked like a man in the photoshoots and a beggar in 太王四神記. hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate her sooooooooooooooooo much
park shin hye is cool i love her
@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.
