‘Gu Family Book’ sageuk-challenging Lee Seung Gi, ‘I Summon You, Gold!’ chameleon acting Han Ji Hye… Wed/Thurs dramas in a slump, candidates unclear

The weekday drama with the best records was Gu Family Book. Whether or not Lee SeungGi can win the daesang honor at the young age of 26 with his first sageuk challenge is attracting a lot of attention.

(As for the MBC acting daesang) Han Ji Hye of ‘I Summon You, Gold!’, Ha Ji Won of ‘Empress Ki’, and Lee Seung Gi of ‘Gu Family Book’ are expected to be in a three-way battle.

There was another article talking about a possible dominance by actresses in the MBC Drama Awards this year, but in the end, the reporter said the male leads could not be overlooked. “Especially Lee Seung Gi, whose portrayal of half-human half-beast Choi Kang Chi dazzled. As the lead actor in a fantasy action drama, back and forth between comic, action, and melo, he was praised for reliably taking charge of the drama. Even in terms of viewership ratings, the drama remained the top Mon/Tues drama throughout its broadcast, and the ratings were close to 20%.”
