JTBC’s “Beyond the Bar” was once again the most buzzed-about drama of the week!

For the second week in a row, “Beyond the Bar” remained No. 1 on Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of the dramas that generated the most buzz. The company determines each week’s rankings by collecting data from news articles, blog posts, online communities, videos, and social media about dramas that are either currently airing or set to air soon.

In addition to “Beyond the Bar” topping the list of the most buzzworthy dramas, both of its leads climbed up the list of the most buzzworthy drama cast members, where Lee Jin Uk and Jung Chaeyeon rose to No. 4 and No. 5 respectively.

SBS’s “The Winning Try” climbed to No. 2 on the drama list this week, while JTBC’s “The Nice Guy” jumped to No. 3.

In its final week on air, ENA’s “The Defects” rose to No. 4 on the drama list, followed by tvN’s “ Love, Take Two ” at No. 5. Yum Jung Ah , who stars in both dramas, once again claimed two of this week’s top 10 spots on the actor list: No. 8 for “The Defects” and No. 10 for “Love, Take Two.”

tvN’s “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” ranked No. 6 on the drama list, with star Girls’ Generation’s Lim Yoona entering the actor list at No. 7.

Meanwhile, ENA’s new series “ My Troublesome Star ” debuted at No. 8 on this week’s drama list.

tvN’s annual drama project “O’PENing 2025” and its star HIGHLIGHT’s Yoon Doojoon swept the No. 9 spots on the drama list and the actor list respectively.

Finally, KBS 2TV’s “Twelve” debuted at No. 10 on the drama list.

The top 10 dramas that generated the most buzz this week are as follows:
