If the U.S. has the Oscars, then South Korea has the Baeksang Arts Awards—an annual awards ceremony that has been honoring the best performances in Korean film, TV, and theater since 1965.
On its 56th run, the competition was as tight as ever in each category, especially with local and worldwide K-drama hits like Crash Landing on You, A World of Married Couple, and Itaewon Class all in the running for the major awards.
In the end, however, it was When the Camellia Blooms that swept the awards for Best Script, Best Supporting Actor (Oh Jung Se), and Best Actor (Kang Ha Neul) awards. Meanwhile, Kim Hee Ae won Best Actress for her performance in the record-breaking drama, A World of Married Couple.
