The winners are PARK Chul-hwan of Crime Scene Investigation and LEE Joo-yeon of Mailbox in front of Dosan Station.

It is an open market where anyone can freely register their scenarios. The market provides about 500 scenarios every year, and signed for filming including The Face Reader (2013), The Treacherous (2015) and Time Renegades (2016).
