When Jo In Sung won the Daesang or top prize at the APAN Star Awards, he had plenty of people to thank. He credited his performance as the delusional mystery novelist to the drama's writer and director and his co-star, actress Gong Hyo Jin. In that drama she played the psychiatrist who loves him even after she realizes the extent of his problems.
"This is the biggest award I received after filming the drama," said Jo In Sung. "I am grateful to writer No Hee Kyung and director Kim Kyu Tae for believing in an improbable actor two dramas in a row."
The actor also worked with this writer and director in last year's melodrama "That Winter The Wind Blows."
But the actor was also grateful to his co-star Gong Hyo Jin. He said that she was the real reason he received the award.
"I think I received the award thanks to Gong Hyo Jin," he said "I don't think I would have been able to act like that without her. I am really thankful and I am sorry I was not able to be better to you while filming."
While the two actors did have undeniable chemistry, Jo In Sung is also good at helping his female co-stars to shine.
