After reviewing 25 dramas that aired over the past year, awards were given out in 16 different categories, as well as a couple of miscellaneous ones.

Kim So Yeon

Kim So Yeon took home the Grand Excellence Award (Daesang) for her role in MBC’s “Happy Home,” beating out the award’s other nominees: Song Joong Ki, Kim Rae Won, and Park Shin Yang. Notably, this was the first time she’s ever received the Grand Excellence Award in all 22 years of her career.

I will unabashedly receive this award as I am not sure if such a day will ever come again in my lifetime.” The actress also thanks everyone involved with “Happy Home,” her colleagues at Namoo Actors, her fans, and of course, her family for all their support.
