The 1st Blue Dragon Series Awards commence!
by missvictrix
Korea’s famous Blue Dragon Film Awards have expanded for the first time this year to reach miniseries, with the specific intention of focusing on streaming content.
On July 19, 2022 the 1st Blue Dragon Series Awards was held. Stars walked the red carpet looking too beautiful to be real, and all eyes were on the new world of media that streaming content in Korea is quickly opening up.
I might grumble a lot about how streaming content is radically changing the K-drama substance and format that we know and love so well, but also, it’s kind of exciting to see new avenues open up, and new talent on the horizon, all while some of our favorite actors and dramas are recognized with shiny trophies.
