Japanese actor Takuya Kimura won the Best Actor Award at the 2007 Seoul Drama Awards (SDA) held Monday night in Seoul. He won the award for his role in the Japanese TBS-made drama "The Grand Tribe", which aired on the cable channel XTM in Korea this summer.

British actress Helen Mirren won the Best Actress Award for her detective role in the popular British drama "Prime Suspect", which has aired on Mega TV, a channel run by telecom company KT, since July.

Both winners did not show up at the award ceremony, drawing criticism from viewers that the annual SDA, which is the second of its kind, failed to meet up to expectations. Instead, several Korean celebrities made special appearances for the ceremony as award presenters, including popular actors Ryoo Soo-yeong, Cheon Jeong-myeong, and Rick Yune, a Korean American actor, as well as actresses Jang Nara and Park Si-yeon.

Meanwhile, manga-based Japanese drama "Nodame Cantabile", which airs on MB...| More

Ryoo Soo-yeong joins ranks of hallyu stars in Taiwan

2006/01/17 | Source | Permalink |

Actor Ryoo Soo-yeong is set to captivate the hearts of Taiwanese viewers with his KBS TV2 series from last year entitled "18 vs. 29".

Ryoo's agency, Climax, reported on Jan. 17 that the series starring Ryoo will be shown by Taiwan's ETTV from Feb. 22.

In "18 vs. 29" Ryoo plays actor "Kang Sang-young", who looks confident on the outside but is fragile and pure-hearted deep inside. Sang-young does his best to help his wife "Hye-chan" recover her memory, which she loses in an accident.

An ETTV reporter who has visited Korea recently to interview Ryoo said the actor stands a good chance of succeeding in Taiwan, as his role in the series is expected to appeal to Taiwanese viewers as much as actor Ji Jin-hee's role in the popular MBC series "Jewelry in the Palace", which has recently taken Taiwan by storm.

In response, Ryoo said he wants to set off a new Korean Wave in Taiwan through his somewhat comic and endearing role in "18 vs. 29", which contrasts sharply with his previous, ...| More

Ryoo Soo-yeong Captures Hearts of Female Viewers

2005/03/25 | Source | Permalink |

Actor Ryoo Soo-yeong, who plays a caring husband in the KBS Monday-Tuesday miniseries "18 vs. 29", has drawn the attention of many female viewers recently for his charismatic yet cute portrayal. Although the popularity of the drama is ascribed largely to the charming acting of its lead actress Park Seon-young, the female audience credits Ryoo with perfectly portraying a husband doing his utmost to mend his relationship with his wife.

But very few know that Ryoo landed this role after many twists and turns. Although he was the first actor sought for the role when the drama was still in its initial stages of production, he had to square off with such formidable rivals as Kim Min-jong and Shin Hyun-jun. Ryoo was notified that he had been chosen for the role just two days before shooting started.

"In fact, I had almost given up, and was very stressed out. My self-esteem was hurt significantly, but when the production team told me that I was selected for the role, I decided from the...| More
