If you’ve been wondering which K-dramas the whole internet is obsessing over right now — wonder no more. This week’s Good Data Corporation rankings just dropped, and it’s a royal takeover.
My Royal Nemesis Steals the Crown
SBS’s My Royal Nemesis rose to No. 1 on Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of the most buzzworthy dramas. The company compiles rankings each week by collecting data from news articles, blog posts, online communities, videos, and social media about dramas currently airing or set to air soon.
The show didn’t just dominate the drama chart — its stars showed up big on the actor list too. Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Jun climbed to No. 2 and No. 3 respectively on the most buzzworthy cast members list.
Park Ji Hoon: Still Untouchable at No. 1
Park Ji Hoon continued his reign at No. 1 on the actor rankings, while his drama The Legend of Kitchen Soldier held strong at No. 2 on the drama list. That’s consecutive weeks at the top — and fans clearly aren’t letting up.
