Once again, MBC’s “When the Phone Rings” swept the top spots on this week’s rankings of the most buzzworthy dramas and actors!

For the second week in a row, “When the Phone Rings” remained No. 1 on Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of the TV 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.

Not only did “When the Phone Rings” top the list of most buzzworthy dramas, but star Yoo Yeon Seok also held onto his spot at No. 1 on the list of most buzzworthy cast members, while Chae Soo Bin stayed strong at No. 4.

JTBC’s “The Tale of Lady Ok” remained No. 2 on the drama list, with leads Lim Ji Yeon and Choo Young Woo taking No. 2 and No. 5 respectively on the actor list.

In its final week on air, SBS’s “The Fiery Priest 2” maintained its position at No. 3 on the drama list.

tvN’s “Love Your Enemy” also held steady at No. 4 in its own final week, with stars Jung Yu Mi and Ju Ji Hoon ranking No. 7 and No. 8 on the actor list.

Meanwhile, ENA’s new drama “Namib” jumped to No. 7 on the drama list this week.
