2014 SBS Year End Drama Awards
Posted on January 1, 2015 by ockoala
With the 2014 SBS Drama Awards, another prolific if underwhelming in quality year wraps up in K-dramaland. There wasn’t an underlying reason I saved this network for last in coverage, MBC went first and I only had time to write about the KBS awards before passing out sick as a dog after watching the new year’s fireworks light off. I did find the SBS awards slick and trendier than the other two networks, mostly by dint of having popular dramas and its stars attend. It also felt that way because many of the awards seemed so make up like Lee Jong Seok‘s Special Award as if to shoehorn in recognition even if the other categories were earmarked for other stars.
Jeon Ji Hyun was the expected winner of the Daesang, I never though she would be sharing with Kim Soo Hyun, who walked away with both Top Excellence, the Netizen’s Award, and a couple’s trophy to share with his costar. The fashion was lovely even if the trend continues for all the attendees to overdose on too-light BB cream.
Park Shin Hye‘s hosting gig was wonderfully done and she managed to rock all her gowns of the night to buck her usual trend of dressing dowdy for big awards shows. My one and only gripe was Jo In Sung not winning anything of substance for his exceptional performance in It’s Okay, It’s Love. That’s so wrong even when I’m already used to the lame wrongs in the industry.
