MBC Drama Awards
The MBC Drama Awards is an awards ceremony presented by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation for outstanding achievements in Korean dramas aired on its network. It is held annually in December.
Unlike its counterparts in KBS and SBS, MBC's highest honor of the ceremony, the "Grand Prize", has been determined through viewer's votes in 2014, 2015 and 2016, not by professional judges. The process has been widely criticized.
