The Build-Up: Media Drama vs. Reality
So here’s the tea : Both Alice and Cheryl were nominated for Best Leading Actress, and of course, the media couldn’t resist hyping up a “rivalry” between them. Every article, every social post hinted that they were secretly not getting along.
But Alice and Cheryl? They had other plans. Instead of letting the tabloids create drama, they decided to flip the script in the most iconic way possible — just like how Lee Min-ho stunned fans in The Assassins or Suzy faced backlash in her upcoming drama

Alice Ko: The Other Half of the Iconic Duo
Alice may not have taken home the award this time, but she totally owned her part in this moment. Known for her work in I Am Married… But! and The Outlaw Doctor, Alice’s poise and sense of humor reminded everyone why she’s one of Taiwan’s most loved actresses.
With Cheryl by her side, Alice conveyed a message more powerful than any words could: “We are strong, we are united, and we won’t lean into fake drama.”
