Actress Park Bo-young and actor Ji Sung have proved to be the most beloved by American fans.
DramaFever, one of America’s leading online Asian drama-streaming sites, chose Park, the heroine of the 2015 tvN comedy series “Oh My Ghostess,” and Ji, the male lead in the 2015 MBC soap opera “Kill Me, Heal Me,” as the best actress and actor for the year on June 27.
The announcement was made at the 4th DramaFever Awards ceremony hosted by the drama-streaming service in New York.
“I am so thrilled because this is the first time I have received an award like this,” said Park during the awards ceremony. The actress added, “I will share this honor with the other cast and crew, including my chef, Jo Jung-suk” (the male lead in the drama). She starred in the drama as Na Bong-seon, a woman who is an assistant chef possessed by the ghost of a young woman.
Ji, too, sent a message of appreciation to his American fans via video, saying, “I realize that my drama has been really well-loved across America. I was so honored to be part of this production.” The actor continued, “I appreciate all of you for giving me this amazing award and I hope you will be able to see more of me in future productions.” The star played Cha Do-hyun, a man from a well-off family who has seven different personalities.
The DramaFever streaming site has around 20 million users a month and this year's winners were chosen by the votes of about 1.9 million drama lovers.
The votes revealed other awardees including actress Kim Seul-gi, for the drama “Oh My Ghostess,” and singer and actor Choi Siwon, for the TV series “She Was Pretty,” both as best supporting actors. The Best Villain award went to actor Namgung Min in recognition of his outstanding acting as a villain in both “The Girl Who Sees Smells” and “Remember: War of the Son.”
The film, “Tazza: The High Rollers,” was given the best movie award, while the awards for the best comedy drama, the best melodrama and the best historical drama went to “Kill Me, Heal Me,” “Healer” and “Scholar Who Walks the Night,” respectively. The five-member boy band Big Bang had the honor to win the award for best K-pop act.
