Singapore's Last Madame was named as best Asian drama, jointly with Korea's When The Camelia Blooms.
A Netflix original series, made with AStory, Kingdom earned three awards. Actor Ju Ji-hoon won the Korean actor award, while Kim Eunhee won the best writer award, one of the prize categories that was not divided by nationality.
The show also won the technical achievement award for its special effects provided by Madman Post.
