YSP Drama Awards 2011

This post is dedicated to the dramas that I've watched in 2011. So let's begin haha.

Best Supporting Actor

Nomination

Yoon Sang Hyun as Oskar in Secret Garden

His role is definitely eye-catching and I'm quite surprised he's the second male lead in this show (considering how he has become the main lead in few dramas) A bit annoying character but surely it is fun to watch him.

Kang Minhyuk as Yeo Joonhee in Heartstrings

So he's one of the CN.Blue (I didn't know before this haha). Resembles Onew A LOT and his character in Heartstrings is very cute + funny. His acting is quite natural considering he's not an actor..

Jung Ilwoo as Song Yisoo in 49 days

The 'Scheduler' in the drama. Playful and goofy. He portrays it well.

Lee Jangwoo as Seo Inwoo in Glory Jane

A new actor from Smile, Donghae. Being recognised as the 'Man of Ratings', Lee Jangwoo is one of the most promising actors.

Winner: Lee Jangwoo

Best Supporting Actress

Nomination

Yoo Ah-In as Im Ah Young in Secret Garden

Receiving tremendous popularity in this drama. Her work in this drama is quite noticeable.

Nam Gyuri as Shin Jihyun in 49 days

Quite good but lack in expressing her emotions well. Hmm no comment haha.

Ham Eunjung as Yoon Baekhee in Dream High

The singer-turn-actress Eunjung. She did a great job in Dream High and she actually deserves to be the main actress.

IU as Kim Pilsook in Dream High

IU has really received lots of popularity and loves from everyone. She even had the scripts to be re-written so that she will have more air time. The IU-effects are powerful!

WINNER: HAM EUNJUNG

BEST / MOST FAVOURITE ACTRESS

Nomination

Ha Jiwon as Gil Raim in Secret Garden

Ha Jiwon's acting skill is getting more and more established. Her hardwork can be truly seen throughout the drama.

Lee Yo Won as Song Yikyung in 49 Days

I don't know her before but her acting skill is awesome. She is able to carry two different characters perfectly and she able to express the emotions well. Amazing!

Kim Tae Hee as Lee Seol

Her performance in IRIS was the best. But too bad, I think the drama unattractive storyline has pulled down lots of marks.

Park Shin Hye as Lee Kyuwon in Heartstrings

The idol in the drama. I enjoy watching her.

Park Min Young as Yun Jaein in Glory Jane

Park Min Young won the Most Promising Actress last year with Sungkyunkwan's Scandal and she's back with Glory Jane. Definitely an actress to be look forward in the future.

BEST ACTRESS: LEE YOWON

MOST FAVOURITE ACTRESS: GIL RAIM

Best / Most Favourite Actor

Nomination

Kim Soo Hyun as Song Sam Dong in Dream High

A new actor but he able to portrays his character perfectly in Dream High.

Hyun Bin as Kim Joo Won in Secret Garden

The President with his memorable quotes. The perfect guy of all the shows haha.

Jo Hyun Jae as Han Kang in 49 Days

No comment xD

Jung Yonghwa as Lee Shin in Heartstrings

Yonghwa is actually one of the main reasons for me to watch this drama but later on, I'm addicted to the drama. He has some kind of attraction, emmm hard to say (like Raymond Lam, Linda Chung etc)

Chun Jung Myung as Kim Young Kwang in Glory Jane

The Best Actor of last year hehe. Another great job by Cheon Jung Myeong. Just some time he looks awkward but kinda cute (?) haha.

BEST ACTOR: HYUN BIN
MOST FAVOURITE ACTOR: JUNG YONG HWA

BEST DRAMA

TOP 5

Dream High - A drama which is most suitable for the teenagers. Nice storyline, nice actors selection and nice OST.

Secret Garden - I really get addicted to this drama and chasing for it. In contrast to idol drama, this is indeed one of the drama that comprises of acting + idol..

49 Days - I only watch this drama after being recommended by 3 friends. First episode, quite boring. But then it really become addicting. It has such a meaningful storyline and the main actor and actress portrays it very well.

Hearstrings - This may be a typical idolistic drama but I like it so much!

Glory Jane - A little bit flaw in this drama and it reminds me of Baker King, Kim Takgoo a lot. But I'm being convinced by its actors great jobs.

BEST DRAMA - 49 DAYS

Abandoned blog

Once again I've abandoned my blog..

2011 is not a good year for me..

Lots of things happened..

Looking forward to 2012 for my sky to be shining brightly once again :)

2011 YSP Music Chart - First Half of the Year

1. SISTAR19 - Ma Boy

Digital score: 15,400
Streaming score: 20,790
Broadcast score: 3,200
Accumulated Total: 39,390
Final Score: 15,756

Congrats to SISTAR's sub-group unit, SISTAR19 for topping my music chart in this first half of 2011. This song is once again produced by the hit-maker, BRAVE BROTHERS, and it's very addicting as you listen more to it. Hyorin's husky voice and she did hit the high notes in this song like previous SISTAR's hit songs besides Bora's powerful rapping. Just love it and the performance were awesome <3

2. 2NE1 -Lonely

Digital score: 13,400
Streaming score: 8,040
Broadcast score: 400
Accumulated Total: 21,840
Final Score: 10,920

2NE1 is back but this not-promoted-song-in-the-music-cycle is definitely awesome. It ables to achieve perfect all-kill even though it is not being promoted. Different from 2NE1 style, it ables to showcast the powerful vocals of Park Bom and CL. Unlike those lyrics about being dumped by guys, this song is unique as it is about the loneliness of the girls feel even with her boyfriends. Quite a soothing song.

3. IU -Good Day

Digital score: 33,200
Streaming score: 24,900
Broadcast score: 3,200
Accumulated Total: 61,300
Final Score: 10,217

Good Day is being released last December so it is doing well in 2011! IU's most popular song that brought her to today's success and fame. A good song, a good performance and have a good day while listening to this song. Would love this song after repeating it for a few times.

4. G.NA - Already Missing You

Digital score: 27,600
Streaming score: 24,840
Broadcast score: 2,400
Accumulated Total: 54,840
Final Score: 9,140

This is G.NA's follow-up track but I like this song ever since BLACK & WHITE was released. A ballad with showcast G.NA's powerful voice and with a soothing melody..

5. U-Kiss - 0330

Digital score: 5,640
Streaming score: 8,460
Broadcast score: 4,400
Accumulated Total: 18,500
Final Score: 9,250

The first Korean idol that I met. 0330 ables to capture your atttention with its starting point when the piano begins to play. This song is empowered by Hoon's soulfull voice and Kevin's soft voice besides AJ and Eli's collaborating raps. A song that would keep your mind at peace while listening to it.

6. 4Minute - Heart to Heart

Digital score: 9,760
Streaming score: 16,080
Broadcast score: 1,600
Accumulated Total: 27,440
Final Score: 7,840

The mirror track of 4Minute. Unlike their previous powerful tracks like Hot Issue, HuH and Muzik, this song is actually able to show another side of 4Minute.

7. G.NA - Black & White

Digital score: 20,000
Streaming score: 3,000
Broadcast score: 10,000
Accumulated Total: 33,000
Final Score: 5,500

G.NA's Black & White has a very addicting beat and this song brings her to various crowns on music programme. Really, really, really nice! Scored highest in the perfomance score as I love it <3

8. f(x) - Pinocchio

Digital score: 6,080
Streaming score: 2,280
Broadcast score: 800
Accumulated Total: 9,160
Final Score: 4,580

After NU ABO, f(x) is back for Pinocchio. An addicting track with its repetitive lyrics. f(x) is surely one of the rising girl groups now and this song has brought them their first ever triple crowns.

9. BEAST - Fiction

Digital score: 1,440
Streaming score: 1,080
Broadcast score: 6,000
Accumulated Total: 8,520
Final Score: 4,260

The title track of BEAST's FACT & FICTION. A different side of BEAST is shown and this actually is quite a performance track, meaning you would enjoy it the most while watching them perform.

Yoosung Drama Awards

Today is the 1st January 2011! A new year has already begun..
I'd like to complete my "Awards ceremony xD", this time for the dramas that I've watched in 2010..
At first, I thought to include the nominees but it's very cumbersome.

BEST OST -

IT HAS TO BE YOU (CINDERELLA'S SISTER)

There are of course, a lot of nice original sound tracks in 2010. 4Minute's Making Love (Personal Taste), Lee Seung Gi's Losing My Mind, From Now I'll Love You and Lee Sunhee's Fox Rain (My Girlfriend is a Gumiho), Luna & Krystal's Calling Out (Cinderella's Sister) and much more.
I really like this song when I watch this drama. It's very soothing and the melody is very nice. I've kept repeating this song on and on even after the drama has ended. It has to be you is sung by Super Junior's Yesung.

BEST FEMALE NEWCOMER -

SEO WOO as GOO HYO SUN (CINDERELLA'S SISTER)

This is the first time I'm watching Seo Woo's acting. At first, I wasn't very fond of her because her face looked rather plastic (sorry). But, she has done a great job in this show as a pitiful, relying girl yet she did show some strong will.

BEST MALE NEWCOMER -

MICKY YOOCHUN as LEE SEON JOON in SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDAL

At first, I didn't not have very high hope on Micky's debut drama when I learnt that he's going to act in a historical drama. Yet, this is one of my anticipating show. I'm very surprised by his overwhelming awesome acting skill. I really feel him as Lee Seonjoon, not Dong Bang Shin Ki's Micky Yoochun.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR -

JOO WON as GU MAJOON in BAKER KING, KIM TAKGU

Also, another new actor. Joo Won who's a musical actor and this is his debut drama. He did have left me an impression.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS -

EUGENE KIM as SHIN YUGYEONG in BAKER KING, KIM TAKGU

I was rather shock when I know that Eugene was only a supporting actress in this show. With her status, she could be the main lead in any show. However, this is the first time she acts as a villian and she did a good job. A girl who seeked for revenge although for me the revenge wasn't really worth for her to turn evil.

MOST PROMISING ACTRESS -

PARK MIN YOUNG as KIM YUNHUI in SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDAL

Another drama for a girl to dress up as a man. But, she really did a great job in this show and able to pull out the emotions as Kim Yunhui.

MOST PROMISING ACTOR -

YOON SIYOON as KIM TAKGU in BAKER KING, KIM TAKGU

His acting is superb in this show. Able to pull out different emotions. Hope to see him more in the future.

MOST FAVOURITE ACTOR -

LEE SEUNG GI as CHA DAE WOONG in MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO

Seriously, Lee Seung Gi is the guy of the year in Korea. I've always like him. This is my first time watching him acting in a show.

MOST FAVOURITE ACTRESS-

SHIN MINAH as MIHO in MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO

She did a very great job as an innocent Gumiho in this drama. Just like her everything in this show especially "Woong-ah~".

BEST ACTOR -

CHUN JUNG MYUNG as HONG GIHOON in CINDERELLA'S SISTER

He has a charm that I find very comfortable watching him to act.

BEST ACTRESS -
MOON GEUN YOUNG as SONG EUNJO in CINDERELLA'S SISTER

I can really feel that she has put in more than 100% effort in this drama.

BEST DRAMA (NOMINATION)
CINDERELLA'S SISTER

It has a really nice writing storyline with superb acting from the actors and actresses in it.

PERSONAL TASTE

It only has the best hero and heroin, that's it. I only watch Lee Minho and Son Yejin's parts while skip the others. Quite a waste because I thought the storyline should be somewhat interesting.

BAKER KING, KIM TAKGUMY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO

This is a nice drama, but not that best for me. A national drama in Korea. But I found some of the storyline were rather ridiculous. Just like for typical housewives' drama but upgraded version by its actors superb acting.

MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO

I really, really enjoy this drama and kept chasing it as I watch 2 weeks before it ends. It has a very charismatic storyline and lovely characters at first. Just the last few episodes were not so nice but every drama is also like this.

SUNGKYUNKWAN SCANDAL

This drama focused more on its story rather than typical love story at first. I found it very interesting although it's a historical drama.
BEST DRAMA -

MY GIRLFRIEND IS A GUMIHO
