All Time Favorites: More Beautiful Than a Flower
Confession:
My original intent for writing this review was to start off the “writers’ series” which explores the various works of some of our favorite writers…uhm I got a little carried away with writing this so consider it an excerpt of the “writers’ series” for Noh Hee Kyung.
This is my first time in writing such a comprehensive? review of a drama. I think I have gone through several drafts in my attempt to coherently write something along with some technical difficulties. The review below is from an emotional retrospective. I am unsure if writing from this perspective is any more effective than going through a straight re-cap. I will depend on the feedback I get from you folks to determine which is better or preferred.
Drama Awards’ past Daesang winners
The Drama Awards hosted by the tv networks were not always the popularity contest that they seem to be today. Of course, the success of the drama was important in deciding whether an actor would receive an award. (Many of the Daesang winners came from those who starred in the highest-rated TV dramas.) But just as equally important was the actual acting talent displayed by the actor in the drama. You don’t believe me? Look at the past Daesang (Grand Prize) winners below, and see how they read like a list of the acting powerhouses of Korea.
Entertainment Awards’ past Daesang winners
Hope everyone had a happy holiday season with your family and friends!
In the Korean entertainment industry, the end of the year holiday season is a time when each of the three major broadcasting networks (KBS, MBC, and SBS) host their annual award shows. KBS started it off this year by hosting the KBS Entertainment Awards on December 25th. On this day, the veteran comedian and MC, Lee Kyung Gyu, took home the top prize, winning the Daesang for Qualifications of Men. (Note: I am always tempted to call it the “Daesang award,” but that would be incorrect. The “sang” in “Daesang” means “award” or “prize”, so saying he won the “Daesang award” is like saying he won the “Grand Prize Prize”.)
Gong Yoo’s music recommendations
I must admit that of the many celebrities 10asia interviewed for their music recommendations, it’s inevitable that I always end up translating the articles in which I personally enjoyed the recommended music myself. So perhaps these music recommendations are just as much mine as they are these celebrities’. This week’s music recommendations come from actor Gong Yoo. Overall, his music choices are very soft and mellow, and they perfectly suit the kind of music I’m up for right now.
