The '2024 MBC Acting Awards', which will be broadcast on December 30, is a place to look back on drama works that gave viewers joy, sorrow, and pleasure in 2024. In response, we have reviewed this year's dramas, which are genre buffets, MBC dramas, which were fun to choose from pleasant historical dramas, period dramas, meticulous thrillers, and deep melodrama.
In particular, MBC in 2024, the strong performance of dramas on Friday and Saturday was emphasized. The opening of 2024 is a close comic action historical drama between a 15-year-old female artist (Lee Ha-nee) who crosses the wall at night and Su-ho (Lee Jong-won), a civil servant, who is coveted by both inside the four gates. Actor Lee Ha-nee, who can be comic, action, and melodrama, started the MBC drama with a high viewer rating of 18.4% (Nilson Korea national standard).
The drama 'Wonderful World', which inherited the baton of 'Flowers Blooming at Night', depicts a mother who killed her son directly digging into the mysterious secrets related to that day, giving him extreme immersion. Kim Nam-joo's excellent acting skills, who returned after six years, and Cha Eun-woo, a face genius, brought attention to every episode with his unique image transformation.
The prequel of MBC's flagship criminal film, 「Investigation Team Leader 1958」, presented a thrilling catharsis in 1958 when individual detectives gathered to break down corruption power in an era of barbarism. Lee Je-hoon as Park Young-han, Lee Dong-hwi as Kim Sang-soon, Choi Woo-sung as Cho Kyung-hwan, and Yoon Hyun-soo as Seo Ho-jeong evoked nostalgia with their performances that made use of the characteristics of the characters in the past 'Investigation Team Leader'.
Completed with the unconventional synergy of Kim Hee-sun and Lee Hye-young, 'We, Home' was loved by many due to the unique cooperation of the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to protect her career and family. It captivated drama fans by boasting a great degree of immersion with the fresh combination of thriller and comedy, as well as the combination of the two actors' acting without words.
Director Byun Young-joo's drama debut, 「Dead to Snow White-Black Out」, was a backtracking thriller in which a young man who became an ex-convict after being named the culprit of a mysterious murder in which his body was not found, revealed the truth of the day, giving him the beauty of a reversal beyond imagination. Byeon Yo-han's emotional performance, which explodes as the clues to the incident are revealed, even touched the hearts of viewers.
Han Seok-gyu's 'You're such an intimate traitor', which returned to MBC after 30 years, won favorable reviews from everyone due to Yong Doo-yong's solid story development and actors' enthusiasm, solidifying the position of MBC as a genre master. A tense psychological battle between a father and a daughter (父女), who are family members but cannot trust each other, is rapidly unfolding and is considered one of the masterpieces representing 2024.
Finally, the secret romance thriller drama of the Show Windo couple in their third year of marriage, which shows Yoo Yeon-seok and Chae Soo-bin's deep melodrama of 'The phone you called now is' with a threatening phone call. Thanks to the actors' solid ability to digest their lines, they have also achieved high performance in OTT, emerging as the center of the topic.
As such, MBC in 2024 is establishing itself as a genre restaurant by targeting everyone's taste with a well-made drama full of various attractions. Which of these works will win the honor of the 「Drama of the Year」 will be released at 8:40 p.m. on December 30 at the '2024 MBC Acting Awards'.
