Two dramas just rewrote the rankings — and one of them isn’t even airing anymore. This week’s buzzworthy chart, powered by Good Data Corporation’s tracking of news, social media, and online chatter, saw SBS’s spy-thriller comeback and JTBC’s underdog hit collide at the top.

SBS’s “Agent Kim Reactivated” claimed the No. 1 spot, with lead So Ji Sub holding onto his crown as the most talked-about actor for another week — proof that a good comeback story never really goes out of style. Right behind him, co-star Yoon Kyung Ho climbed to No. 6.

Meanwhile, “Reborn Rookie” went out on top, literally. In its final broadcast week, the JTBC series jumped to No. 2 on the drama chart and stacked three actors into the top 10 — Lee Jun Young (No. 2), Son Hyun Joo (No. 8), and Jeon Hye Jin (No. 9). A finale sweep like that doesn’t happen by accident.

This Week’s Top 5 Buzzworthy K-Drama

Rank	Drama	Network
1	Agent Kim Reactivated	SBS
2	Reborn Rookie	JTBC
3	Notes from the Last Row	Netflix
4	Teach You a Lesson	Netflix
5	See You at Work Tomorrow!	tvN

Also worth watching: KBS 2TV’s new thriller “The Husband” debuted straight in at No. 6, pulling veteran actor Namkoong Min onto the actor rankings for the first time. And two dramas haven’t even premiered yet — Disney+’s “A Shop for Killers 2” and Netflix’s “The East Palace” — but they’re already generating enough noise to crack the top 10.

Curious how these buzz rankings are even calculated? The methodology draws on aggregated media mentions similar to how Nielsen ratings work for measuring TV audience engagement, just applied to online chatter instead of viewership.
