Actress Suzy won the honor of Best Actress in a Leading Role for her first solo starring work.

On July 19th, the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards (BSA) took place at Incheon Paradise City. On this day, the Blue Dragon Series Awards were hosted by broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo and singer-actress Lim Yoon-ah, continuing from last year.

In the drama category, Suzy was selected as the winner of the Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Anna in the Coupang Play original series "Anna".

In the series, Anna, who grew tired of her exhausting life, becomes the object of envy for everyone as she starts living a completely opposite life, receiving attention from people. "Anna" depicts the story of a woman who ends up living a different person's life starting with a small lie.

Suzy said, "It's an honor just to be nominated alongside respected senior actors, and I am grateful to receive such a prestigious award. 'Anna' was a work that made me both excited and fearful, as it held a lot of ambitions. Therefore, the process of choosing and every moment of filming will be cherished and remain meaningful in my memory. I thank all the staff who worked hard for 'Anna' and created unforgettable moments on set. To my colleagues and senior actors who were with me, thank you for your hard work and guidance. I will treasure this award as a representative of everyone involved in 'Anna.'"

On another note, the Blue Dragon Series Awards is the first domestic series content awards ceremony that targets domestically released OTT dramas and entertainment shows from platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Watcha, Wavve, KakaoTV, Coupang Play, and Tving.

Lee Jun Young and Apink’s Jung Eunji are winning hearts worldwide with their latest K-drama Pump Up the Healthy Love, and fans can’t get enough.

Airing on KBS 2TV every Wednesday and Thursday, Pump Up the Healthy Love has quickly turned into a must-watch drama.

Blending fitness, comedy, and romance, the series has been praised for its fresh concept — and it's now gaining huge popularity both in Korea and overseas.

As of May 15, the drama has aired six episodes and already ranked No.1 on WAVVE’s “Drama TOP 20.” On Disney+, it also climbed into the “Today’s Top 10 in Korea” list, proving its rising buzz.

Internationally, it’s killing it too. In Taiwan, the show hit No.1 on the drama chart and No.2 overall on the country’s top OTT platform, friDay Video.

Over on Rakuten Viki — a go-to site for K-drama fans around the world — the show landed in the weekly Top 3 across North and South America, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, and India in just its second week.

Even more impressive, it’s been No.1 in 82 countries, including Brazil, Mexico, the UK, France, and Saudi Arabia, for two weeks straight!

Fans are loving the hilarious yet heartwarming vibe, flooding the internet with comments like:

“Lee Jun Young and Jung Eunji’s chemistry is next level. They’re meant to be.”

“This drama will give me abs from laughing.”

“I want to work out at a gym with Director Do.”

“Is this drama trying to make us exercise or eat midnight snacks?”

“So charming and cozy — it’s a total feel-good watch.”

“Kim Jong Kook would love this show. It’s going to blow up!”

The story doesn’t just focus on gym workouts, but also shows emotional healing and personal growth. Lee Jun Young plays the charismatic gym director Do Hyun Joong, while Jung Eunji plays the bold and relatable Lee Mi Ran. Their “muscle flirting” and fun banter are bringing a fresh energy to the K-drama scene.

With strong storytelling, lovable characters, and hilarious yet touching epilogues in every episode, Pump Up the Healthy Love is shaping up to be one of the most unexpected hits of the year.

Are you watching it yet? If not, it might be time to join the fun (and maybe start hitting the gym too)!
