Three TVB television dramas – starring Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎), Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), and Michael Tse (謝天華) – have entered the nomination list of the 7th Annual Seoul International Drama Awards. There will be intense competition among the nominees, as TVB blockbusters will compete against more than 200 worldwide TV shows from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the United States, and the Philippines! Michael Tse’s Lives of Omission <潛行狙擊>, Myolie Wu’s Curse of the Royal Harem <萬凰之王>, and Kevin Cheng’s Ghetto Justice <怒火街頭> will potentially win the coveted prizes at the respected Seoul International Drama Awards, which has for many years been hosted by the Korean Broadcast Association, alongside with major Korean TV broadcasters that include KBS, MBC, and SBS. Among the three TVB artists, Kevin Cheng may have the best chances due to his nomination for mainland China drama, Scarlet Heart <步步驚心>. Apart from overseas shows, Korea’s hit TV programs Rooftop Prince <屋塔房的王世子> and The Moon that Embraces the Sun <月亮擁抱太陽> have also joined in the race. The moment of suspense will be unveiled on August 30th when the judges announce the winners in the different categories for short dramas, full-length TV shows, and Korean TV dramas. Asked about their feelings regarding their nominated dramas, the three TVB artists were all very excited! Michael Tse said, “I have not been notified by TVB yet. I did not expect the drama will be nominated. I plan to celebrate by having a Korean meal outside! The nomination proves the popularity of Hong Kong television shows. Quality always overrides language barriers!” With two dramas on the nomination list, TVB Best Actress Myolie was tipped to succeed Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) in becoming the only TVB artist to be honored in both the program category and individual category. Myolie remarked, “The chances of winning are higher with two dramas being nominated. Although I hope to get the prizes, I personally try not to hold very high expectations. I am afraid that I might feel dejected if the results turn out against expectation.” Myolie added, “I have not been to Korea for a long time and want to travel there and meet my Korean fans. A few days later, I will fly to Beijing to attend the Huading Awards ceremony where I will be competing for the Best Actress prize. My confidence is okay, as the other candidates are very well qualified!” Creds: ihktv
