2012 MBC Drama Ödülleri
Well, we’ve given out our awards for 2012; now it’s time to see how MBC distributed its honors. And if past years are any indication, there are bound to be some head-scratchers and some obvious political choices. Then again, that’s sort of the name of the game all across the board, isn’t it?

The thing about this station is, every year I see MBC’s award list and think, “Oh right. The station did have some hits after all,” which makes me wonder whether I’m misremembering the year as a sparse one for the broadcasters. And then I think a little more and realize that basically, this was all they had. Wasn’t much competition within categories, which is why you got dramas cleaning up in multiple categories, ’cause what else would’ve taken it?

MBC also has the habit of creating categories or altering them without explanation, which just reinforces the idea that they’ve got a list of shows they need to give awards to, and would rather fit the categories to the shows than vice versa. Ah, dramaland.

Maybe it’s better that we think of it that way, though, since Kang So-ra‘s Dream High 2 is better off forgotten. As is her gown. Why is this talented young 22-year-old actress dressing like she’s 50? Just no.

Synchronized posing from the ZE:A boys! That’s cute. Here are Kwanghee and Im Shi-wan, who both took on a couple of acting projects this year: Kwanghee in To the Beautiful You and Vampire Idol, while Shi-wan was even busier with Moon/Sun, Equator Man, and Standby. I ended up warming up to Shi-wan quite a bit over the year and would like to see him keep acting. Kwanghee… already has a full-time idol gig. Maybe he could do that some more

All these idols, workin’ my Navering skills. Here’s Lizzy from After School, who has a role in weekend drama Rascal Sons

Seo Hyun-jin is steadily building up her resume, though she hasn’t quite broken through to the next level of name or face recognition. She got an award last year as well (for The Duo) and had two this year, for Feast of the Gods and Oh Ja-ryong Is Coming. Her dress is okay. She looks pretty. Ho-hum.
