When Life Gives You Tangerines' IU-Park Bo Gum leads buzzworthy actors' list; Undercover High School triumphs Buried Hearts in drama section
IU and Park Bo Gum created the most buzz among OTT dramas this week. Undercover High School continued to top the drama rankings.
The Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of most buzzworthy actors' list has been updated to include OTT shows besides the dramas airing on South Korean broadcast television starting this week. The newly integrated actor list changed the previous rankings and led to Netflix's When Life Gives You Tangerines' taking the top spot. Undercover High School continued its reign over the drama list.
IU created the most buzz among all South Korean actors appearing in ongoing shows this week. The idol-actor was followed by her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Park Bo Gum at No. 2 in the most buzzworthy actors' section. The drama list includes just the broadcast television ones; therefore, the romance drama missed grabbing a spot. The drama has shown steady growth since its premiere and will drop its last 4 episodes on March 28.
