Dingdong Dantes received the Asian Star Prize award at the Seoul International Drama Awards on Tuesday, September 15, in recognition for his role as Captain Lucas Manalo or “Big Boss” in the Philippine adaptation of Descendants of the Sun.
In a pre-taped message, the actor dedicated the award to crew behind the show.
“I am deeply honored to be recognized by the Seoul International Drama Awards. And I shared this award to all the men and women who work tirelessly to make the show alive in the hearts of our viewers.”
He also made a special special mention to frontliners worldwide who are leading the battle against the coronavirus pandemic.
“This award is also a tribute to all frontliners of the world – soldiers, healthcare workers, and volunteers. This award is also for my loved ones and the Filipino people. May we find consolation knowing that our stories are being appreciated, especially during these trying times,” he said.
Dingdong is the 4th Filipino actor to win the award. Gabby Concepcion, Dennis Trillo, and Alden Richards previously received the recognition.
The show was also recognized as the Most Popular Foreign Drama Award of the Year. The people behind the show, led by director Dominic Zapata and executive producer Winnie Reyes, thanked the organizers for the recognition.
The show, which stars Dingdong and Jennylyn Mercado, is the retelling of the popular K-drama starring Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo, which also became popular in the Philippines.
The Philippine cast recently wrapped up its taping in Rizal province after it was suspended due to the lockdown in Metro Manila. – Rappler.com
