Korean actresses Kim Nam-joo and Han Hyo-joo both took home the grand prize at the MBC's year-end acting awards ceremony.

At the event held on December 30 at MBC's Dream Center located in Ilsan, Gyeong-gi Province, Kim and Han were awarded the top honors for their roles in "Queen of Reversal" and "Dong Yi - Jewel in the Crown," respectively, while the latter drama collected several other awards that night.

"I feel that I still lack in some areas to receive such a great award," said Han in her acceptance speech. "I want to thank director Lee Byung-hoon and scenarist Kim Yi-young."

"Dong Yi," also voted drama of the year by viewers, collected a total of eight awards including first prize for male actor Ji Jin-hee and people's choice actress for Han.

Kim Nam-joo also shared her sentiments as well saying, "I wish that time would stop right at this moment. I was thankful for many things when I won an award last year and I still don't know if I deserve it this year."

"Queen of Reversal" portrays the real-life situation in the workplace and marriage accompanied by romance and jealousy surrounding the couple of Kim Nam-joo and Jung Joon-ho. The show was recently extended by ten episodes and has maintained a strong position at No. 2 on the Monday and Tuesday primetime lineup.

Historical drama "Dong Yi," about a woman named Dong Yi who grows up to become Choi Suk-bin, a consort of King Sukjong and the mother of King Youngjo during the Joseon Dynasty, began its run on March 22 til mid-October, scoring viewership ratings in the high 20 percent range as well as breaching the 30 percent range.
