The 28th Blue Dragon Film Award winners were announced at the National Theater of Korea in Seoul, on November 23, 2007.

(”*” denotes the winner in each category)

Song Kang-ho in The Show Must Go on by Han Jae-rim
Han Jae-rim’s violent gangster comedy-drama-action flick The Show Must Go On took top honors at the 28th Blue Dragon Awards. The film stars best actor winner Song Kang-ho — who also starred in last year’s Blue Dragon winner, The Host — as a small-time gangster trying to land his first big deal. At home, however, the tough gangster is put in his place by his fed-up wife. As the story progresses, things take on a rather dark tone. The Blue Dragon for best actress went to Cannes Film Festival winner Jeon Do-yeon (photo, below) for her performance in Secret Sunshine, Korea’s entry for this year’s foreign-language film Academy Award.
