Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
The splendid festival begins.
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
The festival begins now.
(KBS Hall)
Hello, everyone.
I am actor Park Geun Hyeong.
(Park Geun Hyeong)
There is a boy here.
Looking at his parents who are disabled,
he decided to become a doctor.
During the school days,
he came across a play like a destiny,
and that changed his life forever.
Instead of becoming a doctor who fixes physical illness,
he decided to become an actor who fixes the illness of mind...
and comforts people.
Yes. That boy is me.
After 50 years of acting,
now I am referred as...
"the veteran actor".
But I went through a lot of ordeals too.
When my acting career wasn't going as I wanted,
I questioned if I was meant to be taking this path,
and I even had extreme thoughts.
I once quit everything and went back to my hometown.
That's why I became known as the actor with an ill repute,
as someone who disappears during practice...
and doesn't show up for practice.
But when I decided to give up everything,
one thing stopped me.
It was the joy of using my imagination...
to create a unique character,
as an actor.
It was that joy.
In my own imagination,
I recreated characters with my own color.
Those characters comforted some people...
while they touched others.
What greater joy can there be to an actor?
With that joy alone, I walked the path of an actor.
For as long as I live as an actor,
I want to play all kinds of roles,
whether there are hundreds or thousands of them.
Let me ask you this.
What is drama to us?
I believe drama makes our world...
a place that is a little more livable.
When we watch a drama that expresses various kinds...
of human emotions in depth,
we become kinder to others.
It's because through drama,
we understand other people's lives...
and sympathize with them.
That's right.
There's life in drama,
and people are at the heart of it.
And there is also happiness and hopeful message about our future.
In order to become a great actor,
it takes at least 50 years.
Ever since I began acting,
I am 79 this year.
So as an actor,
I am a 29-year-old young man.
Being the young actor I am,
my heart still beats whenever I see a script.
When I flip the first page of the script,
I feel the surge of excitement.
In the moment you watch drama,
I hope you will feel that excitement and happiness,
which I felt.
I am the young actor Park Geun Hyeong.
The world's biggest drama festival.
This is Korea's only international drama festival.
I am the host of Seoul International Drama Awards 2018, Jun Hyun Moo.
Hello, everyone.
Hello. I am Choi Soo Young.
(Jun Hyun Moo and Soo Young)
Could you cheer half as loudly for me?
Thank you.
All right. The young actor Park Geun Hyeong...
shared with us about his passion and excitement for his craft.
Today at Seoul International Drama Awards 2018,
we hope you will feel the passion...
and excitement.
With that said, let's begin the first part of the awards.
As we have witnessed,
he's still very handsome.
The young actor Geun Hyeong's looks...
- I know. - are truly...
- unparalleled. Right? - Yes.
Seoul International Drama Awards begin with an intention of...
overcoming cultural barriers through dramas.
And it's already celebrating the 13th year.
Yes. Thanks to your love and support...
for Seoul International Drama Awards,
it's now established as the biggest drama festival...
in the world.
Yes. Fitting for that reputation,
the event is attended by various stars, crew members,
and drama fans from all over the world.
I am a drama fan before I am an actress,
so it's a huge honor for me to be presenting...
- such a big event. - Yes.
These days, I sometimes get very surprised...
when I watch a drama.
Why is that?
In the past, there was a clear distinction between...
dramas and films.
But now, I can't tell if it's a drama or a film I'm watching.
- Right. - The scale became very big,
and the visuals improved too.
The quality of the dramas seems to have improved dramatically.
Then you will get confused about whether this is...
a drama awards or a film awards.
It's because the actors and the dramas we will be...
seeing today will capture the attention of the world...
and deeply touch people like...
no other dramas have.
That's right. I am already excited.
Let's watch the video first.
It's the festival for all the drama fans of the world.
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
Hello. I am SBS announcer Kim Sun Jae.
I stand here with hope...
that I will help you enjoy...
your time here even more.
Now, I will tell you what's...
special and exclusive to Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
Seoul International Drama Awards began in 2006.
Celebrating the dramas representing different cultural areas,
it's already in its 13th year.
To make it easier for the viewers to enjoy international dramas,
Seoul International Drama Awards has been hosting...
various events and screenings, and with these events.
it has been establishing its solid foothold.
(The panel of judges, composed of international drama crew...)
(judged the dramas impartially.)
(268 dramas from 56 countries were submitted.)
Recording the largest number of entries,
it proved its status as the international awards ceremony.
Then what's special about...
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018?
It's more fun when you know.
Here are the things to pay attention to.
(What is he doing?)
It takes three seconds to fall in love.
However, it takes only 1 second...
to fall in love with a drama.
(Really? Is that it?)
At Seoul International Drama Awards,
you can watch all the dramas...
that represent each country.
It may be an action scene.
How are you so adorable?
Stop it.
It could be a good-looking actor.
Or a scene of affection...
may catch people's attention.
(Works that show the characteristics of each country)
If there's a memorable drama...
that made your heart flutter,
I recommend that you search and watch the whole series.
(They attract crowds at the airport.)
Global stars attract crowds...
at the airport.
Dreams turn into reality.
Is this what it is?
They're headed to...
Seoul International Drama Awards.
We saw them only on screen.
Our favorite actors and actresses...
wave their hands in front of us and receive awards.
Though we speak different languages and live in different countries,

Hello.
(Regina Ziegler)
This is a very special moment for me.
As a producer,
there are many highlights in my career.
"54 Hours" is definitely...
one of the most memorable works.
Before making this drama...
in 1988,
I was personally devastated.
I couldn't believe the act of criminals,
the police, and the press during the hostage incident...
in Germany.
A hostage situation is always different from other crimes.
In hostage situations, not only the people,
but timing plays an important role.
It's an ongoing torture.
This is what I wanted to show in the drama.
I thank Seoul Drama Awards for selecting my work.
I express my thanks to the jury.
I'd also like to thank those who work...
in front and behind cameras.
I also thank the cast and the staff...
for recreating a tragic event into a drama.
Thank you very much.
I send my condolences to the victims of the incident.
Finally, there's someone I'd like to thank.
It's Karin, the mother of a young child named Silke,
who died during the hostage situation.
Without her cooperation, I couldn't produce this drama.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
That was Producer Regina Ziegler.
Please continue the announcement.
Meeting another German person on stage in Korea is great.
It's nice to meet you.

I was appointed as the Australian Ambassador to Korea,
so I came to Korea in 2016.
How was it like when you first came back to Korea...
as the Australian Ambassador to Korea?
It was more than I imagined.
Especially, K-culture, which means Korean dramas,
movies, and music, is popular around the whole wide world.
I'm very proud since I'm related to Korea.
Oh, I see.
I am also surprised by the fast development speed of K-culture.
Since I'm one of the actors making K-culture,
I'll do my best to show good acting.
- I'll look forward to it. - Okay.

What will we present today?

Through this award,
I could see how my story influenced the world.
"54 Hours" is a world-wide unique crime.
It's a story of a bank robber taking hostages for 54 hours.
It's a tragedy...
that warns us to resist animalistic instincts...
to protect the world.
Especially in this world, where the two most powerful men...
in both the East and West make us believe...
that humans are not special. We must remember this message.
This is because that's not true at all.
Congratulations.
I would like to congratulate...
the "54 Hours" team who received two awards today.
Please continue presenting the awards.

Awards committee, the jury, and the viewers.

He's best friends with the Hollywood star, Chloe Moretz.

Hello, I'm Jin Ki Joo.
I was a huge fan of "Lost".
It's such an honor to meet you here.

Korean drama "Good Doctor"...
is going to be remade in the US.
Sebastian is here with us tonight. He wants to say hello as well.
We're working on the second season right now.
I'm here to...
present an award.
I'm a huge fan of Korean dramas.
When I heard that "Good Doctor" was going to be remade,
I was exhilarated.
I hope that many Korean dramas will be...
introduced abroad and keep growing in the future.
As a huge fan, I also hope that Daniel will...
appear in a Korean drama someday.
Thank you.
I'd love to appear in a Korean drama...
if I get a chance.
The world is getting smaller.

on various projects.

Thank you.
I'll be looking forward to that day.

Which dramas received the most love in the past year?
Let me announce the winners first.
All right.
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018. The Outstanding Korean Drama.
There are two winners.
"Fight for My Way" and "Something in the Rain". Congratulations.
Congratulations.
The Outstanding Korean Drama goes to "Fight for My Way"...
and "Something in the Rain".
(Outstanding Korean Drama)
"Fight for My Way" and "Something in the Rain".
The two dramas won...
Outstanding Korean Drama Award. There are two winners.
By telling the stories of youths fighting the cold reality,
"Fight for My Way" delivered the message that it's okay to dream.
Through a relationship that everyone has once dreamed of,
"Something in the Rain" talked about the truths of romance...
that many viewers could relate to.
I'm honored to receive this award.
To think that "Fight for My way" is loved...
not only in Korea but also in many other countries,
I feel very excited.
To shoot a drama,
more than 100 people have to work together.
Our drama was no exception.
We filmed...
in both Seoul and Busan.
I'd like to thank our director of photography, Park Seong.
I'd like to thank everyone...
who was involved...
in the process.
The actors and actresses...
depicted Korean youths in such a lovely way.
Park Seo Jun, Kim Ji Won,
Ahn Jae Hong, and Song Ha Yoon.
I enjoyed every moment with...
Fantastic Four.
Lastly,
no other script has ever made me laugh this much...
or touched me this deeply.
I'd like to thank writer Lim Sang Choon...
more than anyone else for the amazing script. Thank you.
Thank you, producer Lee Na Jeong.
Thank you.
I'd like to thank writer Kim Eun,
Son Ye Jin, Jung Hae In,
and everyone on the staff. You worked so hard.
The credit for this award goes to all of you.
I'll work harder from now on...
so that...
What should I say?
I'll do my best to make a better drama. Thank you.
Congratulations, director An Pan Seok.
During director Lee Na Jeong's speech,
Seo Jun was filming it with his phone.
The moment his name was mentioned, he stopped filming.
- He must have been embarrassed. - He was flustered.
- Continuing on, - He's very romantic.
please present the next award.
Yes. The next award is Excellent Korean Drama.
Daniel, would you like to announce the winner?
Okay. I can't want to find out who wins the award.
Let me announce.
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018. Excellent Korean Drama Award.
"While You Were Sleeping".
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
The Excellent Korean Drama goes to "While You Were Sleeping".
The drama starts from the interesting idea...
of preventing accidents by foreseeing the future.
It was praised for its convincing and detailed storytelling.
Right. Director Oh Choong Hwan receives the award.
Let's listen to his speech.
Well...
I had planned a speech, but I don't remember anything.
I was here last year too, but I feel a lot more nervous this year.
I'm honored to receive this award again.
I sometimes think my work is trivial,
but from time to time,
I'm reminded that my work is important.
"While You Were Sleeping"...
was written by the writers to deliver the message that...
a little kindness can change the world.
That's where it all began.
Dramas sure have a fancy and commercial side too.
However, this drama...
reminded me why I wanted to make dramas in the first place.
I'd like to thank writer Park Hye Ryeon for the script.
Whenever we faced a problem,
iHQ helped us out.
We also received a lot of help from colleagues at SBS.
I'd like to thank Lee Jong Suk, Suzy, and Jung Hae In...
for working so hard despite the heat.
Many people work together for a drama,
but not everyone gets to stand in the spotlight.
It requires so much effort to shoot a drama.
Even if you're not completely happy with a drama,
please send a lot of support to those who work hard for it.
It'll make us work even harder.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations.
Congratulations everyone.
My, time is flying.
It's already time to finish Part One.
- That's right. - Right.
We'll be looking forward to Korean dramas next year as well.
It's time to wrap up Part One.
Yes. Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
See you in Part Two. Thank you.
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
The second part of the festival begins now.
Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
The second part of the festival begins now.
("Power Up" by Red Velvet)
Hello. Part Two has begun...
with Red Velvet's powerful performance.
- Hyun Moo. - Yes.
Do you happen to know what the logo of...
Seoul International Drama Awards means?
Of course I do.
It's the immortal bird that symbolizes the sun.
It's the legendary bird that is known to have three legs.
It's a three-legged crow.
No wonder you are one of the best show hosts.
You've studied thoroughly.
- The writers have prepared a lot. - Right.
So it's a three-legged crow.
This bird is found in ancient wall paintings...
all over the world...
including Korea, China, and Japan.
That's right.
Why did you bring this up by the way?
Just like the sun, we hope this awards will be...
a festival that not only gives out a radiant vibe...
but also brings the dramas of...
the East and the West together.
The logo has the meaning and the shape of the bird.
I see. That's the meaning the logo holds.

Your fans from all over the world will be watching you.
You should keep your word.
I will.
Actually, I'm also trying very hard to keep the promise...
I made here.
What promise did you make?
I received Asian Star Prize...
here in 2016.
At the speech,
I said I'd be a great actress who is also...
a good influence.
To keep my word,
I'm studying every day.
By the way,
I've seen her in a Japanese movie,
"Monsterz"...

Seoul International Drama Awards 2018.
The Best Actress Award goes to...
Lee Bo Young of South Korea.
Congratulations.
The Best Actress goes to Lee Bo Young from South Korea.
Congratulations.
Lee Bo Young of South Korea played Soo Jin...
who desperately tries to protect her daughter Hae Na.
With her sincere acting, she touched...
the hearts of many.
A lot of people have shed tears watching this drama.
Lee Bo Young of "Mother" has won the award.
Hello, I'm Lee Bo Young.
(Lee Bo Young, "Mother", South Korea)
Honestly, when I first decided...
to work on this drama,
I did not think I would win an award.
I'm so happy to win this award though.
I'm nervous.
When I started this drama,
I had a small wish.
Through this drama,
I wanted people to pay attention to kids around them.
I hoped...
that the society would pay attention to kids...
who are being abused...
or to kids who look fine on the outside.
I started the drama with that small hope.
A lot of people have told me that...
they have been comforted by the drama.
I also have been consoled by the drama...
while I was filming it, and I have grown too.
I feel the most proud when I'm filming a drama.
It's thanks to the viewers who watch the show,
who breath and cry with me.
Thanks to them,
I feel proud and rewarded to be on a drama.
All the viewers,
and everyone who has been with "Mother", thank you.
Director Kim Cheol Gyu.
The filming environment...
was a happy place.
Thanks for making such an environment.
The writer who wrote the amazing script,
also...
Also, every staff who worked so hard,
who worked with me,
and filmed the drama with love.
I'd like to say thank you to all the staff.
I'll keep making great dramas.
That's all I can do.
I'll return. Thank you.
Congratulations.
(Lee Bo Young)
We hope to see you in great works.
Congratulations.
Soo Young. We're presenting dramas from many different countries.
- Yes. - But each culture has its own...
- characteristics. - That's right.
Seoul International Drama Awards has summarized...
the characteristics of the works that have been submitted.
Yes, that's right. Let's see how different they are.
Let's take a deep breath and take a look.
How much world dramas have you seen?
Each country has...
different styles and themes of drama that are popular.
Did you know that?
It's more interesting to watch the dramas...
from various countries when you know this.
Let's take a look at them now.
There are so many countries.
Which one should we look at first?
First, South America.
Their dramas have very passionate themes.
("Bad Maids", Mexico)
(The drama deals with serious social issues...)
(such as abduction, incest, surrogates, and prostitution.)
They use and portray the hot topics...
without concealing anything.
(South American dramas deal with social hot issues.)
Even the physical affection...
between the lovers...
is shown without any...
(SBS complies with the broadcasting regulations.)
(South America is not just hot about soccer.)
I guess it'll be a bit awkward to watch with family.
I'm telling you, you should watch...
South American dramas alone.
Now we're off to Asia.
(The door opens.)
This guy has his shirt off too.
(Crying and whining)
(A man with hot body and amazing singing skills)
- Wait a minute. - You!
- I've seen him from somewhere. - I told you not to come in.
I see him sitting there.
That man with a red face, that's Park Seo Jun.
It's him. Please wave your hand.
Yes, that's awesome. It was great.
Not your appearance, but your singing.
Did you get a hint from Park Seo Jun?
That's right.
Asian dramas have singing and excitement.
They sing when they're happy,
(When they're happy)
and when they're sad.
They sing before they go to sleep.
(Singing before sleep)
They dance while putting on makeup.
And...
it's not just one person.
Everyone gets together...
and expresses their feelings together.
This is the real neighbors.
This is the affection of Asians.
Asian dramas are like musicals.
Though they might seem unfamiliar in the world stage,
but they have their own special charm.
(Acknowledged)
Next up is Europe.
In Korea,
historical fiction with romance and fantasy is popular.
But in Europe,
historical facts are important.
So the dramas that are based on...
real stories and real people are popular.
The popular dramas in Germany right now portray...
from Weimar Republic...
in the 1920s, the golden age,
to the world wars.
(We can see that era.)
From afar, it's just a page...
of a despairing history.
However, up close,
you're able to understand and the situation...
the characters are in at the time.
This is why European dramas are being loved.
(Reason for European dramas' popularity)
We looked at the characteristics of various countries' dramas.
How much world dramas have you seen?
How was it?
Drama is small happiness you can experience in your daily life.
We hope to see great dramas next year too.
(In 2019, we hope to see great works again!)
We summarized...
the characteristics of the dramas by continents.
They're somehow similar, but different.
That's right. After watching a drama,
you want to know more about the country...
or to visit the country.
I believe that's the charm of dramas.
Yes. Park Seo Jun's drama was used as an example.
- Yes. - I think he's a great actor.
- Of course. - Because he's a great singer.
He pretended not to sing well...
when he could sing.
Actually you can sing Buzz's song better, can't you?
If he wins an award later, we'll ask him to sing.
Right. Please brace yourself.
Please sing a song when you come up later.
Yes. Next up is non-competitive awards.
It's The Jury's Special Prize...
and Invitation Awards.
That's right.
Presenting the awards is one of the top three villains...
with unique charisma, Jung Bo Seog.
Also, the man with sweet voice who is now known as...
the soundtrack master, Sung Si Kyung will present it.
Actor Jung Bo Seog and Singer Sung Si Kyung...
will be presenting the jury special prize,
and the most popular foreign drama of the year.
Hello.
Dear viewers who love domestic drama.
I'm Jung Bo Seog.
(Jung Bo Seog and Sung Si Kyung)
Hello. I'm Sung Si Kyung. Nice to meet you.
- Si Kyung. - Yes.
It feels new...
to see you here instead of you singing on the stage.
Yes. As a singer,
I participated in many soundtracks.
That also got me interested in drama.
Recently, I was on my favorite Japanese drama...
as a cameo which also helped me study Japanese.
I see why you're here today.
I'm not sure.
I've been acting for 32 years now,
but the love and support for drama...
are getting bigger every year.
By the way, you were the jury of Drama Awards this year.
You must have watched so many pieces.
I wonder what it was like.
First, it was a very good chance...
to meet all kinds of drama from all over the world.
I was moved by those pieces...
that I was glad to be the jury.
Among many pieces that moved Bo Seog,
I wonder who will take...
the Jury's Special Prize.
Yes. For the Jury's Special Prize,
let's meet the prize winner.
(Jury's Special Prize)
Drama "The Memoir of Majie" depicts women...
who left Indonesia...
as they couldn't make choices for their own lives in 1957.
It reflects the lives of women...
who decided to live as Majie, a maid that looks after women...
and various emotions they felt in the life...
where they make choices for themselves.
It may be a story where they were suppressed by system and tradition,
but we exist today because we've been through it,
and in the way, it has a significant meaning.
It also left emotional resonance and was praised widely.
("The Memoir of Majie")
(It was praised in the fact that it not only reflects...)
(the era, but it also delivers a meaningful message.)
(Jury's Special Prize)
Jury's Special Prize.
"The Memoir of Majie" from Malaysia.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Jury's Special Prize goes to "The Memoir of Majie"...
from Malaysia.
The Jury's Special Prize winner, "The Memoir of Majie"...
depicts the women who make their own choices for their lives.
It was praised for resonating with the viewers.
Pauline Tan who showed impressive acting...
in the piece will receive the prize.
Yes.
Pauline Tan received the prize.
Hello.
Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening.
I'm Actress Pauline from Malaysia.
Thank you very much to Media Prima, NTV7,
Media Core and Studio Malaysia.
On their behalf,
it's such an honor...
to receive this prize.
I'd like to say thank you.
Let's give it up for her please. She's very fluent in Korean.
- Honor is a hard word. - Yes.
I'm nervous.
The fact that we received such award...
abroad,
it gives a drive...
to production crew and actors...
in making an even better drama...
next time.
Lastly, I'd like to say thank...
the committees and juries once again.
Thank you.
She speaks better Korean than a few Koreans that I know.
- It's amazing. - Yes.
Pauline Tan.
I've never seen a foreign actor saying,
- "the drive." - "The drive."
- That was amazing. - Yes.
Now, it's the Most Popular Foreign Drama.
How is this prize announced?
Among pieces that were produced abroad,
one that is popular...
and famous in Korea is selected.
In the other word, it is not an exaggeration...
to say the Most Popular Foreign Drama...
received the most love from Korean fans.
That is correct.
Let's meet which foreign drama...
captured most Korean fans this year on the screen.
(The Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year)
The Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year which is given to...
the one that received the most love from Korean fans.
Beyond the TV monitor,
it became friendly to viewers in life.
"Solitary Gourmet".
(The Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year)
Congratulations to "Solitary Gourmet" from Japan.
Yes.
The Most Popular...
The Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year goes to...
"Solitary Gourmet" from Japan.
The Most Popular Foreign Drama of the Year winner, "Solitary Gourmet",
changes the eating moment to a special moment...
through the gourmet's delicate senses.
It is enormously loved.
Matsushige Yutaka who is loved...
as the main cast will receive the prize.
He has many fans in Korea.
It's also meaningful in a way that Si Kyung who was also...
on the drama presented the prize.
Hello.
I'm Matsushige Yutaka from "Solitary Gourmet".
It started quietly in Tokyo six years ago...
as a low budget night show.
I was worried who would watch...
an old man eating?
I even received a prize outside the country.
No other drama is like this.
I also filmed in Korea this spring.
I had pork rib and Jeonju bibimbap.
I believe...
there are still a lot of delicious dishes that I haven't tried yet.
I'm looking forward to the next shooting.
If you have any recommendations,
please tell me until I leave.
Congratulations. Many people...
love Goro San.
Even though he was speaking English,
it sounded like Korean for some reason.
That's how familiar he is.
- What a funny speech it was. - Yes.
I visited the pork rib restaurant...
he went to recently.
Really?
It was all Japanese except me.
They came after watching that drama.
That is how influential...
- Right. - it is in Japan.
This year, many dramas that focused on women...
were on air in the world.
I hope that flow continues.
Good.
The next presentation is the most intense prize,
it's the mini series.
I'm sure it makes many people nervous.
It was a very intense competition.
I wonder which piece will receive the prize this year.
The series with various genre were loved this year again.
- Yes. That's right. - Yes.
Also, pieces with outstanding sense of humor and clear sense of...
subject made the competition more intense than any other time.
Yes. It was a very intense competition.
For next,
Chan Sung who has met his life character from...
"What's Wrong with Secretary Kim"...
and Kyung Soo Jin who's loved for her unique acting...
will present the award.
Actor Chan Sung and Actress Kyung Soo Jin...
will be presenting the mini series category.
Yes.
Chan Sung has met the character for his life.
And Soo Jin.
Hello. I'm Chan Sung from 2PM. Nice to meet you.
(Chan Sung and Kyung Soo Jin)
Hello. I'm Kyung Soo Jin. Nice to meet you.
Soo Jin.
I haven't met you since the last work we did together.
You look more beautiful.
Thank you.
You seem busy lately.
In "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" which ended recently,
I really enjoyed your role as Go Gwi Nam.
Thank you.
It was pretty cute.
Go Gwi Nam was a very annoying character.
I tried to make it cute...
instead of annoying.
Thank you for recognizing.
You're welcome.
Soo Jin. There are...
Lee Bo Young and Son Ye Jin in front of us.
You appearance as their child actor.
- Yes. - How is it?
My very first role after the debut...
was Lee Bo Young's child role.
Then I played Son Ye Jin's child role...
as well as many others.
It reminds me of the throbbing emotions...
that I had when I first acted.
I see.
You look good.
I want to act for a long time.
What did you mean by "You look good?"
- I could feel how excited she is. - Really?
- Yes. - You're not flustered, are you?
No.
I feel great right now.
You feel good, and she looks good?
- Yes. I'm very happy. - I see.
Okay.
You know, they're great seniors.
Yes.
I believe it's an honor to be their child actor.
I'm envious...
and jealous.

It's a multiple celebration for "Mother".
They received many awards.
Director Kim Cheol Gyu will make a speech.
Thank you. Watching "Mother" after a long time...
overwhelms me.
The drama, "Mother",
deals with child abuse.
It isn't an easy subject.
It's heartbreaking.
It was a very sad drama.
The viewers who loved and watched...
such a drama until the end.
And Lee Bo Young,
who received an award earlier, and Writer Chung Seo Kyung.
Also, Director Park Ji Young.
I'd like to thank everyone.

Congratulations.
We will now move on to serial dramas.
For serial dramas, Asian pieces...
had a particularly high rate.
That's right. Those which worked on not only gender problems...
such as women's rights,
but family issues as well...
and made many people relate to the storyline...
attracted attention.
And the announcers. The global actor who received Asia Star Prize today,
Otani Ryohei,
and Actress Jeong Yeon Joo, who is loved for her unique look...
and acting, will announce it.
Please give them a round of applause.
Actor Ryohei Otani and Actress Jeong Yeon Joo...
will be presenting the serial drama category.
Hello. I'm Otani Ryohei.
Hello. I'm Jeong Yeon Joo.
(Otani Ryohei and Jeong Yeon Joo)
You received the Asia Star Award today.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Now that I received such an award in Korea,
I want to be in a good piece from Korea...
and present my best performance.
I hope to see you in a good piece in Korea as well.
You met many dramas from all over the world today...
in Seoul International Drama Awards.
You go back and forth between Japan and Korea.
Are there any dramas that you'd like to try...
from any other countries aside from Korea and Japan?
From another country?
Today,
Jasper Liu is here too.
I've lived in Taiwan for a few months.
I really loved Taiwan,
so I'd like to try a drama in Taiwan one day.
The language may be different, but people sympathize...
with the stories that dramas unravel...
regardless of their nationality.
Yes. Dramas have now gone...
beyond the borders of language and culture,
and it has become a genre where the whole world can agree to.
The fact that we can meet all kinds of dramas from...
different countries through various internet platforms and services...
also helped with that.
I hope Seoul International Drama Awards becomes...
the genre where you can meet different dramas.
Now, it's time to announce the winner.
Let's meet the candidates first.

I received the award on behalf of...
all actors, staff, and writers of "Filthy Rich".
The production of a TV series is not easy.
Therefore, we have a pride...

What we wanted to say through this piece...
is love and diligence.
So I'm very grateful just by the fact...
that we're acknowledged by the juries...
of Seoul International Drama Awards.
Thank you very much once again.
"Filthy Rich" was my dream job.
I wore designer clothes, lived in a mansion,
and it was nice to drive a super car too.
But what I liked more was that...
I was able to work with...
the most passionate,
creative,
and excellent actors and staff.
I'm very proud to receive...
such an excellent award.
Thank you for this award.
Thank you.
I'm grateful that they try to use...

On behalf of our staff, creators, writers, producers,
technicians, actors,
and especially Cecile Bois,
I received the award.
"Candice Renoir" is about a French female police officer.

It feels like yesterday when I received a prize here.
It has already been a year.
Yes. I remember how nervous I was...
on this stage last year.

That's a relief.
She's known as the romance queen.
As her fan,
I have received a chance...
to make this precious time...
a good memory.
Thank you.
Will you tell me if there are any genres...

Park Seo Jun, who received the Outstanding Korean Actor Award,
really pulled off his role of Go Dong Man,
the humorous fighter in ""Fight for My Way",
and announced the birth of a new romance comedy king.
Congratulations.
(Park Seo Jun)
Thank you.
With "Fight for My Way",
I was grateful to receive...
many awards here last year.
I guess I must get along well with this place.
I didn't think I'd get another prize here.
Thank you very much.
I believe "Fight for My Way"...
depicted the current youth...
in detail.
It was an honor to participate in such a drama.
And thank you very much...
for giving me an opportunity to thank...
Director Lee Na Jeong, Writer Im Sang Choon...
and other staff members.
This Outstanding Korean Actor Award.
When I first started this drama,
I didn't expect it to be...
an outstanding Korean drama.
I just...
wanted to depict...
the youth of this era.
I guess...
people in other countries...
were able to connect to it.
When I go abroad,
many people name my work and recognize me.
Every time that happens,
I realize the language and culture may be different,
but we all have same emotions.
That's what I realized.
With better dramas and improved performance,
I won't be lazy.
I will bother myself seriously...
to continue to present good acting...
as an actor.
I know many fans have come today.
My fans always say...
the best thing is to see me in films.
So I will try my best to return their love...
with many films.
I will continue to try my best.
Thank you.
- Park Seo Jun. Just a second. - Yes.
You tried to leave early.
There are many fans here.
You said language and culture may be different,
- but we all have same emotions. - Yes.
It goes the same for songs.
I've enjoyed your terrible singing scene.
As far as I know, he's actually a good singer.
For the fans.
It could be Buzz or your favorite song.
Can you sing a little?
When I was sitting...
in the auditorium,
I supported you for your hair loss.
You're kind of mean.
Even just a little bit...
In the waiting room,
you agreed to remove all questions...
that actors might find hard, but you asked the hardest question.
Is it hard for you to sing?
- Pardon? - Is it hard for you to sing?
I should.
That's Park Seo Jun.
Even if it's hard, he will do it.
I don't know what to sing.
If you didn't sing, I would've lost even more hair.
Please.
Oh, Sung Si Kyung was here before.
I sang his song...
in a recently ended drama.
- That will suit you. - Just a little bit.
My lips are getting dry.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Let's give him a round of applause.
Let's encourage him.
I will sound like a goat.
♪ After an exhausting day
♪ Two people are under the moon
♪ Only one shadow can be seen
♪ When I close my eyes
♪ I think I can grab the happiness
♪ Left over there
I think that's enough.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Let's give him a big hand.
- Congratulations. - As he said,
even though it was a mean request,
he said he'll make it short, but it was two bars.
It was very sweet and moving.
- He has a really nice voice. - Yes.
He was acting when he was being a terrible singer.
Right.
Congratulations once again.
Please continue the announcement.
Yes, next is...
the Outstanding Korean Actress Award.

I didn't expect to get so much love and interest.
So I'd like to take this opportunity...
to thank all the viewers who loved...
"Something in the Rain".
As an actress,
the happiest moment...
is to work with...
people I get along with...
in a good filming environment.
That moment is when...
I feel happiness and excitement.
In that sense, "Something in the Rain"...
is a film that gave me...
a complete satisfaction.
Director Ahn Pan Seok, who created such environment,
thank you very much. I highly respect you.
Also,
Hae In,
who was Seo Joon Hee from the beginning to end.
I was very happy to work with you.
I hope to work with you again.
Also, each staff I worked with...
and my peer casts,
who acted as if the roles were meant to be for them.
I was very happy to work with such wonderful people.
I believe I got this award on their behalf.
Even at this moment,
my peer actors and staff...
who are working overnight,
I always cheer for you.
I hope Korean dramas gain more stable popularity...
and spread throughout the world.
I hope that would happen.
If I could help, I will continue to...
present good and improved acting.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Ye Jin.
- One second, please. - Yes.
- What is it? - To Ye Jin...
Oh, I forgot. She has a question for you.
- I won't make you sing. - Right.
What were you going to ask her?
You're known as...
the 21th century melodrama queen of Korea.
I wanted to ask...
if you have any actresses...
you'd like to work with here.
That's unexpected. Actress?
I'm sure many people asked her about actors.
She also worked with most actors now.
Let's ask her.
Any actors you'd like to work with regardless of their gender.
Well, there are too many.
- I know there are good actors. - There are many.
I enjoyed watching Soo Young's drama.
The one you were on with Gam Woo Sung.
- "My Spring Days". - Let's work together later.
Can I cry?
- You knew the answer, didn't you? - No.
Soo Young?
Are there any actors you'd like to work with?
If you ask that question, I'll be neglected.
- No, don't worry. - Stop.
- Let's end with that answer. - Are you sure?
- So there will be articles on you? - Yes.
- It's such an honor. - I'm really...
I'm sweating.
Okay. Wake up, and ask the next question.
Then are there any roles...
that you'd like to try?
I know you've tried many roles.
Are there any genres or anything?
I'm not sure what your next one is going to be.
Any role that you'd like to try.
I've tried many different genres,
and I've played various characters.
But I'd like to try everything that I haven't tried yet.
One day, I'd like to try something physical.
- Where I can dance. - Dance?
- Roles like that? - Roles like that.
A role where you can dance? That's unexpected.
- Right? - Yes.
Okay.
Are you nervous that I'd make you dance?
- What? - Are you nervous...
that I'd make you dance?
It doesn't matter because I'm not going to do it anyway.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen that.
You've been in action movies and melodramas.
But something Soo Young can dance.
I hope you meet her in a good film.
- Applause once again please. - Thank you.
- Thank you for your honest answer. - Congratulations.
(Now,)
(there is...)
(only one thing left.)
(Who's going to take the honor?)
(Grand Award)
Now, lastly,
we will announce the Grand Award, the final award of the evening.
Of course, all nominees are outstanding indeed,
but among all of them, the nominee...
that earned the highest marks...
in terms of quality, originality, and popularity...
will win the Grand Award.
Although it's very important how well-made a drama is,
the story's attractiveness...
and the universality that enables the work to overcome...
cultural barriers was considered...
most important in the judging criteria.
The greatest number of works were entered this year.
Apparently, it was a very close competition.
Which nominee will end up winning the Grand Award?
It's time for us to find out the winner of the Grand Award.
Park Jung Hoon,
the chairman of the Seoul Drama Awards Organizing Committee...
and CEO of SBS, will announce and present the Grand Award.
Please give him a big round of applause.
The chairman of the Seoul Drama Awards Organizing Committee...
and CEO of SBS, Park Jung Hoon,
will be presenting the Grand Award.
Good evening.
I'm the chairman of the Seoul Drama Awards Organizing Committee...
and CEO of SBS, Park Jung Hoon.
It's nice to meet you all.
This is already the 13th Seoul Drama Awards Ceremony.
During the past 13 years, the Seoul Drama Awards...
has gained recognition from drama fans worldwide...
as a major drama awards ceremony.
The number of entries this year has reached the maximum record,
and the quality of the entries are continuing to improve.
So as the chairman of the Organizing Committee,
I'm truly pleased and proud.
Then among the distinguished pieces of work,
I'd like to announce the winner of the Grand Award,
the highlight of the 2018 Seoul Drama Awards.
The Grand Award of the 2018 Seoul Drama Awards.
(Grand Award)
It goes to...
"Babylon Berlin" from Germany. Congratulations.
A German drama is the winner of this year's Grand Award.
The Grand Award goes to "Babylon Berlin" from Germany.
Congratulations.
(Grand Award: "Babylon Berlin", Germany)
This year's Grand Award goes to "Babylon Berlin".
The film depicts both the impoverished alleys of Berlin...
and luxurious Weimar.
Regardless of the mood, the film shared amazing images...
and received high praise for that.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I actually learned how to say "Thank you" in Korean,
but I'm still so nervous.
This is an incredible honor.
In Russia, earlier this summer,
the Korean soccer team won Germany,
so I feel like we're being compensated for that incident.
I'd also like to express my thanks...
to those that supported me in Germany for "Babylon Berlin".
Many of my colleagues such as...
Achim von Borries, Hendrik Handloegten,
Volker Bruch, Lisa Fries,
the producers of X Film, Stefan Arndt,
Uwe Schott, and Michael Polle...
have all asked me to thank the Korean viewers...
as well as the judges of the committee...
for giving us this award.
The entire production team wanted to be here today,
but they're all working on the production of Season three...
of "Babylon Berlin", which will start in this coming October.
So unfortunately, they were unable to make it here today.
I believe this award proves...
that "Babylon Berlin" was a success and has gained global popularity...
by fascinating the audience all around the world.
And one more thing.
I still can't seem to remember how to say thank you in Korean.
"Gamsahamnida."
Gamsahamnida.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
That was the director, Moritz Herzogenberg.
I can understand why German dramas are so popular these days.
Once again, congratulations on winning the Grand Award.
I feel sorry for some reason since he mentioned the World Cup.
The 2018 Seoul Drama Awards Ceremony has finally come to an end.
For me, personally, today was indeed...
a day full of surprises and good fortune.
Through dramas, we were able to share stories...
that we could relate to and learn from each other.
It was a blissful time for sharing different stories.
I agree. I think it's time for us to close...
the 13th ceremony for Seoul Drama Awards.
I'd like to thank all the viewers and drama fans once again.
I hope viewers will continue to love and support dramas in the future.
I believe it's time for us to say goodbye.
We'll see you again next year. Thank you.
