But drama-wise, East of Eden was the most awarded, which isn’t surprising since it was one of MBC’s only hits in a lackluster year. To celebrate, its cast was (almost) all in attendance. Noticeably absent: dissatisfied actress Lee Da-hae. She and Dennis O (who was present) were also two of the only big names who didn’t get awards. More news & pictures: HERE Credit: Dramabeans
SSH won .. I knew that was coming .. but surprised LDH didn't get anything. Personally, I find her acting a lot better than HJH (like her too). Oh well .. when there are so many big names and limited awards ... someone gotta lose out. HJH has a better oppt since she just stepped back into the showbiz. Her only other recent drama was I hate you but I love you, i think...
