Jessie Jan 01 2022 8:20 pm CLOY had great production value, but the story had the typical cliches that poorly linked the two leads together to be fated.

It is more of an action drama in my opinion. Fun to watch once, but what are the main themes you'll remember other than man will risk his life to protect a lady that fell from the sky? Putting in Switzerland to represent the neutral terriority where both people could meet seemed more trite/expected versus beautiful. To me, CLOY's main theme was friendship - and that's why the North Korean soldier group was so fun to watch. Other than that, getting Seri back to SK dragged on quite a bit. I did love the production value of the drama. Feels like it could have been made into a movie instead of being stretched as a drama.

I think Camellia Blooms is much more progressive (not that I care about left-wing politics). The main themes were about family and a blooming romance based on a memorable/funny male lead. They managed to include both mystery/suspense into this drama as well but I think it was poorly executed at the end.

Alexey Jan 04 2021 10:53 am I believe CLOY should've taken Daesang. It's not best drama or screenplay, dont get me wrong, just like Goblin in 2017, but it's clearly the most unique setting that brings international fame of kdramas on another level. It could've taken the Best Direction as well, cuz it was stunning. But, I mean Daesang gotta mean something unique, not the show that hits the most hard and where you cry the most. Stranger won Daesang in 2018 and it was amazing show, but it didnt won best drama for a reason (cuz there were Mother kdrama which is so strong its unbelievable, but it didnt have do unique screenplay either). But I guess CLOY not winning Daesang was political a bit. Not saying CLOY shoulda swept things up, but it clearly shouldve get something more than Best Supporting Actress lol.

Minmini Aug 23 2020 2:28 am Congrats for all the winner!!!

Crystal Jul 13 2020 3:52 am I love hospital playlist. It's one of the Best!

kevin Jul 05 2020 2:09 pm somehow, i feel relieve that CLOY didn't win the best drama or even daesang, it's overrated, still good drama, but there is better

anna Jun 29 2020 7:39 pm Congratulations Ahn Hyo Seop! Best New Actor for TV Drama. Waiting for your next drama or movie. FIGHTING!

LKB Jun 20 2020 6:15 pm Sad Jeon Mi Do didn't get best new actress. Hospital Playlist surely needs to be on award shows including Baeksang for 2021. I thought it was bizarre (and one could argue quite a bit unfair) that the shows still airing were on the awards show for this year, some airing when the nominations were very very belatedly announced-it seems out of place timing-wise since usually 2020 Baeksang ceremonies would ordinarily honor shows that started and films that aired in 2019, the 2021 show for 2020 programs. Oh well. Sorry, 2019 programs, for them giving you the shaft. It's like they forgot about 6 months of programs... no wonder we get such a seasonal spike every year then summer-early fall is so lackluster so often.

I did watch everything nominated in drama categories, all of them even the ones like Moment of 18, Be Melodramatic, Hyena, Kingdom 2, etc that didn't win anything and were only briefly mentioned here.

Hot Stove League totally deserved Best Drama-I honestly wondered if Baeksang, which is -usually- quite solid in all nominations and which I usually agree with 85% of the final awards granted with, would toss it or the Daesang to CLOY-clearly that show's international fame (and the onslaught of Goblin-like homages already happening in currently-airing programs!) are its legacy. Hot Stove League's writing and acting both were completely solid and realistic the entire time, no character too small to have a rich backstory and set of motives which was especially moving-you see inside their heads as they make decisions, see their struggles in nuanced mature ways... I DO agree Kim Hee Ae was the best actress (though Hyena was also phenomenal, just less watched because yeah lawyers aren't as interesting I suppose, at least not their jobs)...

I watched When the Camellia Blooms start to finish and objectively it was pretty good though I was surprised at its award sweep here-I think it's in that 90th percentile, better than 89% of shows, but not at the 95th% I think is needed to warrant that many awards. I like every actor in it so I stayed with it, but the screenplay was a bit dull, not particularly unique-Hospital Playlist's screenplay was straight up 10x better and it's a bummer that kind of ordinary writing that doesn't take a lot of brain power beyond checking for plot holes beat something that required so much intense work to balance 5 leads and their supporting teams SO ridiculously well every week and to make what sometimes became 90+ minute episodes fly by like they were half hour slots. I saw people mentioning that they were crying etc throughout WTCB, but while the acting was quite good, the actual script felt a bit blah, something out of a 'rework' pile from the 90s that they dusted off and threw a fantastic cast at despite it being just so-so writing. I don't dislike slow burn stories at all, either-When the Weather is Fine completely worked for me and was even slower/had less happen the whole time. I still think WTCB was well-made and sure it suits the SK audience which is that network's #1 goal while tvN/JTBC in particular are looking beyond their borders.

I am kind of relieved CLOY didn't sweep the awards and only got the couple award (not on here for some reason), most popular ones, Style Icon (which in her case just fits brilliantly-in her case it's more like "who made everyone want to be loved by and also dressed by her" more than "who's pretty with a great stylist" as past years have tossed our way-she's pretty, has a great stylist, and makes everyone want to be her BFF with her sheer cool factor!), and maybe best of all the supporting actress who was my favorite because she is just a treasure and gosh her dialects-if anyone hasn't noticed, she's also pulling a Busan dialect, I think, in Backstreet Rookie that just started airing... I was right there with everyone in enjoying CLOY while it aired but was over the moon happy to see Stove League, objectively just better all in all aspects, beat it. Ha Neul's role WAS good-though it seems like he was playing himself based on interviews I've seen him in lol... had the Hyeri in Reply effect of "written based on you, so you come act it out." My personal pick for best actor was NGM or Ju Ji Hoon though I thought Hyun Bin deserved it, too, for his endearing NK role which was certainly physically more grueling than the other nominees this year-he was far more tired, I dare say!

Honestly, the actresses just slayed this year... how do you choose between Hyo Jin as the righteous mama bear, Kim Hee Ae in utter torment, Kim Hye Soo's firecracker "try to mess with me and you'll become Van Gogh if I get close enough to whisper in your ear" alone in the world badass showing trauma, distrust, rage, strategy, and softening and indeed healing... IU the quirky ghost taunter, and Ye Jin the stylish savvy cool girl in a tragic never-to-be love of a lifetime? They did choose well on the ladies (except new actress though I called it/was 90% sure she'd get it)... Jeon Yeo Bin and even vixen Han So Hee had no chance against Mi Do and Da Mi because Da Mi played such a unique flavor of horrible subhuman turned human all eyes were indeed on her.

The ONE person in Itaewon Class I thought earned an award=Yoo Jae Myung. Granted, Oh Jung Se deserves it for nailing two dramas (Hot Stove League and WTCB-I thought his Hot Stove League role should have been mentioned, dang!), but YJM was phenomenal-every single moment he was on the screen he was a powerhouse for so long, but he perfectly executed his role right down to the backstory being so crystal clear in delivery and nothing out of place in his behavior. If he'd been the lead role, he'd be in the best actor nominees for sure. He carried so much of the show. The males interacting had much more intense chemistry than any m-f pairing to me in IC. Just me, maybe.

While my personal bias for Lee Jae Wook is quiiiite strong, I AM so happy Ahn Hyo Seop's excellent Dr. Kim 2 performance won... that show, to me, deserved Kingdom 2's spot for best drama (I like Kingdom as well and S2 was better than 1, a true sign of genius in writing to improve not steadily degrade, mind you, same as Partners for Justice)... I just love that crew so much and AHS made me choke up, tear up, rage with him, and just ache. His eyes speak mountains. I swear he must've picked up some major tips from working with Yang Se Jong; he's utilizing some of YSJ's classic theatre degree honed skills and they work. Kudos, young man!xf

Nurul Fitri Fatkhani Jun 11 2020 7:59 am Yeay congratulations to the winner. Can't wait to see their acting skills again

sunny lin Jun 09 2020 6:18 pm It's a pity that Jeon Mido didn't win Best New Actress. In my opinion, Jeon Mido and Han So Hee did the best out of all the nominess for BNA. I'm dissapointed that Hospital Playlist didn't win a single award. The drama is one of the best ever. Compared to last year, this year has been a great year for kdrama industry. There are way too many good drama such as Hospital Playlist, World Of The Married, Dr. Romantic 2, Hot Stove League, etc. I'm glad that Hot Stove League at least won Best Drama.

Jennreveluv Jun 08 2020 8:14 pm For the Best New Actress, Han So Hee from the WOTM was so great she portrayed her character well but either way Kim Da Mi deserves it too.

Kiara Jun 07 2020 11:09 pm When camellia blooms deserves the award. I don’t think CLOY deserves it because of the way the second lead guy died, that was just ridiculous but everything else about CLOY was good but I still can’t move on from that. When the camellia blooms is still the best drama of 2020! TKEM does not beat it still and neither did CLOY! For the best new actress award - it should have gone to someone else. The girls character from iteawon class was the reason I dropped that drama. Her character was horrible sorry!

Mada Jun 07 2020 4:26 pm Wondering so much ppl say that WTCB doesn't deserve the award but still not finished watch it yet. Watch it the whole series first than comment it, it was a slow moving drama, no doubt. But this is lovable drama all the time, trust me

Sgrg Jun 07 2020 2:06 pm For New Best Actress, Han So-Hee should have won. Her character was better and acting was spot on.

Lily Jun 07 2020 4:24 am Kang Ha-neul's role was a justified and realistic role unlike the other actors who got nominated...I can give you a list on how his role was realistic than others same as Kim Hee-ae who won the Best Actress award as her role was way more realistic than others... And another thing both CLOY and IC are internationally famous more than it is famous in Korea and When the Camellia Blooms and The World of the Married are both famous in internationally and domestically but more famous in Korea as the story plots are realistic like single mother, orphan kid, step father child relationship, mother daughter relationships

Lily Jun 07 2020 4:18 am People are saying the When the Cmellia Blooms is boring...dude just watch the whole drama then you will understand why it's a fan favourite... you may like CLOY OR Stove League Or Itaewon Class... yeah Itaewon Class is good.. really good tbh but at some point the drama goes in hafazard way and as for CLOY please the ending literally was bad..Whenn the Camellia Blooms the drama remained stick to the point and solved each problems at the end..the ending was totally justified... and as some people are nagging that why Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin didn't win the best actor and actress award let me tell you Kang Ha-neul's role was a justified and nd realistic role

Lila Jun 06 2020 7:45 pm I was bored by When the Camellia Blooms. I've been trying to finish it since January, and surprised I've gotten this far (ep 13/20). It's a very slow moving story. No doubt some characters are touching but I did not enjoy GHJ's doormat character at all.

I would have voted for WOTM or Itaewon Class as best drama.

PANDORA Jun 06 2020 11:08 am Everyone complaining about When the Camellia Blooms didn't even watch the drama! Finish it then maybe you'll see why it's a FAN favourite. I like CLOY too but the ending totally sucked, can't lie. WTCB stayed strong until the end, maybe one of the best endings in a drama series.

Marcus Lex Cajusay Jun 06 2020 10:40 am Congratulations to Namgoong Min and to the cast and staffs of Hot Stove League for winning the Best Drama Award. I still believe Stove League deserves the Daesang. CLOY and IC are sensational internationally but the Korean viewers and the onlookers(we) have different views. Still hats off to them and congrats to the cast and staff of When the Camelia Blooms.

Elena van der Maas Jun 06 2020 9:37 am Hai everyone who read this mail. Sorry to tell you that I didn’t watch the 56th Baeksang Arts Award. I couldn’t watch it here in The Netherlands. Anyway, quite frustrated that the film Crash Landing On You wasn’t selected. I knew that was worldwide favorite film . First, I would like send my congratulations to all staffs, actors en actresses. Especially the director en the writer of the film. In my own opinion, this is the best film I really adored. Here, it was all packaged ( A real drama, romantic, fighting story with meaning!) Hats off to Hyun Bin en Yoon Si ri and of course the director and the whole crew. They are great. I would like u all know that the film’s chosen, gave no trilling for excitement to watch Crash Landing On You for 8 times and still i will watch it again and again. I cried I laughed and excitedly waiting for the new films. I am sure and guarantee u all that Hyun Bin and Yoon Si-ri , the best actor and actress ♥️♥️♥️ till then, best follower ????

me_nina Jun 06 2020 4:25 am When people say Crash Landing on You or Itaewon Class..for me the best drama this year is When The Camelia Bloom. This drama is very touching.. and kang ha neul is so Jjang!!! Congrats for all When The Camelia Bloom's Team!!!

Rocket Jun 06 2020 2:52 am Yeah why "When the Camellia Blooms" win? I watched a couple of episodes and found it so boring never continued. ???

Weez Jun 05 2020 11:37 pm Wonder why When the Camellia Blooms win big.. the drama was so boring

Nited Jun 05 2020 9:19 pm I'm disappointed Vagabond didn't get a Baeksang nomination this year. even though they have the right to receive it

I'm Jun 05 2020 7:37 pm I'm still not intrested to watch Camellia and Married... I don't know why...?

Happy Ongsan Family Jun 05 2020 1:05 pm Congrats When The Camellia Blooms for winning Daesang ??
