On the night, “Bovary” and Park Chan-wook’s “The Handmaiden” each collected three awards. Korea’s Na Hong-jin was named best director for “The Wailing,” while the country’s Oscars contender “The Age of Shadows” also collected one honor.

Actress Jelly Lin (aka Lin Yun) was on hand to receive the rising star of the year award. Having made her big screen debut in all time box office record breaker “The Mermaid” in 2016, she has since gone on to star in “L.O.R.D. Legend of Ravaging Dynasties” and in January starred in another blockbuster Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark’s “Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back.”

Cool beans. The Handmaiden is the only Asian film I saw this year but it was fucking fantastic, definitely deserves as many awards and accolades as possible.
