The just held more elite Blue Dragon Awards this weekend in Seoul celebrated the cinematic achievements of South Korean cinema in 2017 and also memorialized the life and acting works of deceased actor Kim Joo Hyuk. There were basically three colors on the red carpet with black, white, and red, and no I don’t think it was due to somberness for Kim Joo Hyuk since K-ent ladies have been dressing this way for years now, but it feels right in this case because Kim Joo Hyuk really was a movie star all the way and leaves behind a truly memorable legacy on film that will remember his achievements properly. The winners of the 2017 Blue Dragon Awards were the box office blockbuster movie A Taxi Driver with multiple times award winner Song Kang Ho bagging yet another Best Actor trophy with veteran grandma Na Moon Hee winning best Actress for I Can Speak. Congrats to all the winners and a bittersweet farewell yet again to Kim Joo Hyuk.

Kim tae ri and kim hye soo looks beautiful.
And no offense to yoona fan I know she is so popular but seriously she is literally like everywhere.
I was so looking forward to Kim Ok Bin winning best actress lol but of course senior Na Moon Hee deserved it most
Korean stars and their love for bridal gown....sigh.
Also good to see Sooji and Ma CEO together. Hehe.
Yes, the most eye catching pair hehe. Woo Soo Ji and Ma Sang Goo aka CEO Ma looks good together! If only our Se Hee and Ji Ho was there too, lol
I was hoping Ms Koala would write about the Golden Horse awards which was held on the same day because Shu Qi slayed in her gown.
The fashion this year is so uninspiring ... even more than before. I like how Su Ae looks positively glowing though, even if her dress is just as plain as the others.
God bless Kim Joo Hyuk...I still feel such sadness over his passing and what was to came and what may have been...Our lives can be so short, unpredictable and fragile. Always in our heart KJH?
