The voting has closed. Finally. And guess what. Boys before flowers tops just about everything. Sighs.
For the best drama of 2009, Boys over flowers won with 10 000 000 votes. Iljimae followed with 7 000 000 votes. Painter of the wind was third, with 6 000 000 votes.
For the best actor award, Kim Hyun Joong came in first with 11 000 000 votes. Lee Jun Ki came second with 7 000 000 votes. Lee Min Ho was third with 2 000 000 votes.
For the best actress award, Moon Geun Young (painter of the wind) came first with 10 000 000 votes. Han Hyo Joo (Iljimae) was second with 6 000 000 votes. Koo Hye Sun was third with 3 000 000 votes.
Griping:
I barely agree with the results. First of all, Iljimae shouldda been first, not boys over flowers. And anyway, wasn't Iljimae a 2008 production? What the hell is it doing in the 2009 drama awards?
And um Kim Hyun Joong's acting is one of the worst I have seen in the 20 something kdramas I have watched. Even Lee Min Ho was better than him.
Aaaaaaand, why the hell is Koo Hye Sun's name even there???!!!!
Sighs...... The horror of drama awards.

Iljimae rant and review
Iljimae is set during the Joseon Dynasty, when the government is corrupt. Ryung is a useless gangster by day but a chivalrous robber by night, a Korean equivelant of Robin Hood. At the site of every robbery, he leaves a drawing of a plum blossom. Thus the villager know him only as Iljimae.
On the whole, Iljimae was great. It is one of mah fave dramas. Buuuuuuuuuut, it had a wierd beginning(first 3 or so episodes were crap) and a terrible terrible terrible ending. Terrible. I heard the last episode was filmed the day it aired.
But the plot was great. It wasn't another love-triangle-the-more-you-hate-each-other-at-first-the-more-likely-you-will-end-up-together kinda thing. It had me crying god knows how many times, even though I have watched it more than 5 times.
Oh and the acting was great. Iljimae made me like lee jun ki, who was just wonderful. And other actors like Lee Moon Shik and Lee Young Ah were great as well.
But I was annoyed with ze holier-than-thou Eun Chae and the emo-angst-ihateeverybody Shi Hoo.
Yups. That's all for now I guess.
