Global Top Picks: A Genre-Spanning Lineup
The Global category brings together ten dramas spanning romance, workplace drama, and slice-of-life storytelling. Nominees include Our Universe, Dream to You, Ms. Incognito, Positively Yours, Filing for Love, Moon River, My Youth, The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, Yumi’s Cells 3, and Taxi Driver 3. It’s a well-rounded mix that gives fans of nearly every drama genre a title worth rallying behind.
SEA Top Picks: A Region-Specific Favorite List
Southeast Asian fans get their own dedicated ballot featuring Spirit Fingers, Positively Yours, To My Beloved Thief, A Bona Fide Killer, Ms. Incognito, Phantom Lawyer, IDOL I, Last Summer, A Hundred Memories, and Heart Signal 5. Notice a few overlaps like Positively Yours and Ms. Incognito — both dramas clearly resonated widely enough to land on both regional lists.
Why This Vote Actually Matters
Unlike typical fan polls that end with a simple leaderboard, this one comes with real-world stakes. The winning drama earns a spot on physical billboards globally, giving the show — and by extension its cast and fandom — a level of visibility that money usually can’t buy in the entertainment world. It’s a clever way for Viki to turn passive fan enthusiasm into something tangible and celebratory.
How Voting Works
Voting runs from September 14 through September 21, 2026, and each fan can cast one vote per day throughout that window. That daily cap means dedicated fanbases have a genuine incentive to show up consistently rather than mass-voting once, making the final results a fairer reflection of sustained fan passion rather than a single viral push.
Why K-Drama Day Keeps Growing
Events like this highlight just how far Korean drama fandom has spread globally, evolving from a niche interest into a worldwide cultural phenomenon with dedicated celebration days, international billboard campaigns, and passionate voting communities spanning continents. Viki’s decision to spotlight both a Global list and a region-specific SEA list also reflects how diverse and geographically spread K-drama’s fanbase has become.
How to Cast Your Vote
Fans can head to Viki’s official K-Drama Day campaign page to browse the full nominee list and submit their daily vote. With a full week of voting ahead, there’s still plenty of time to rally support for your favorite title before the window closes on September 21.
