Korean Drama & Film Awards
Since watching three award ceremonies I became curious to know what other similar ceremonies are there beside thos I know KBS, SBS & MBC hold.

I watched some of 45th Daejong Sang (대종상 ; Grand Bell Awards) a few days ago and it was cool. It was kind of different than The other two I’ve seen (MBC Drama Awards 2007 & KBS Drama Awards 2007). Daejong Awards covers Films.

The procedure of this ceremony was all in all similar to KBS & MBC Drama Awards ceremonies. Actors & Actresses in various fields were called to the scene and were awarded by some other actors and actresses.

But it was consisted of more fields than Drama Awards. Like nominees in more fields were awarded. It was held in a HUGE hall that at first and for some time I thought it was held in an open space!

What’s interesting in such ceremonies is seeing a kind of different series or group of actors and actresses that are not seen (at least in those limited dramas & films I’ve watched) in this ceremony. Of course familiar faces are also seen, but it seems there’re actors and actresses that are more active in Films and are not seen much in TV dramas. Just like you may rarely see an actor who’s active in dramas in a film. And there must be those who are active in both scenes.

Emcee Choi Gi-Hwan & Kim Ah-Joong

Anyways… one of the hosts was Kim Ah-Joong whom Ive seen in Emperor of The Sea (Korean Drama - 2004) - 해신 which is a great drama. She’s cool and seems to be quite good in hosting such ceremonies. The other one was Choi Gi-hwan whom I don’t know.

The 45th Baeksang Arts Awards
Today I came across “The 45th Baeksang Arts Awards”. It seems “Baeksang Arts Awards” is another award ceremony in Korea. I don’t know h But apparently it seems it covers Dramas and/or Films.

These sites have covered this ceremony:
Korean Entertainment Portal 2009 Baeksang Awards
Dramabeans - 45th Beaksang Arts Awards
The 45th Annual Baeksang Awards « SEOULFULL

I’m interested in watching this ceremony too. Because such ceremonies are fun, entertaining, interesting & indeed informative! You get to know new films, dramas, actors and actresses you know and DON’T KNOW! LOL

What’s more seeing such beauties the least you get from such ceremonies!!! >:D See?
