2020 may have been a dull year for all of us but keeping us plenty company were some amazing Korean dramas. Moreover, our hearts were left fluttered left, right and centre thanks to the various onscreen pairings we were able to witness in one year alone. Hence, a few days back, Pinkvilla ran a poll asking fans to pick their favourite K-drama couple of 2020.

 

The voters were given four choices: Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin in Crash Landing on You, Nam Joo-hyuk and Suzy in Start-Up, Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji in It's Okay to Not Be Okay and Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun in The King: Eternal Monarch. With an overwhelming 18,293 votes in total, topping the list with 30 percent of the votes was Min-ho and Go-eun's charismatic chemistry in TKEM. Fans found their 'not typical' K-drama love story to be a refreshing change while their on-screen equation was too hot to handle. It comes as no surprise that fans are shipping the pair IRL and are hoping for them to reunite in TKEM Season 2 or another drama soon.

 

Coming in hot in the second rank, we have Joo-hyuk and Suzy's youthful chemistry which stole hearts of 29.9 percent voters, just 0.1 percent away from tieing with Min-ho and Go-eun. Placing in the third position were Soo-hyun and Ye-ji, whose delectable chemistry garnered 21.7 percent of the votes. Rounding the list at No. 4, we have Bin and Ye-jin's eternal chemistry leaving 18.4 percent voters besotted.

5 K-Drama Male Love Interests We’d Date (& 5 We’d Stay Away From)

 

There have been many K-dramas that have swept fans off their feet with how sweet, caring, and romantic the love interest can be. Others, not so much.

 

k-drama-male-leads.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=9

 

For K-drama fans, it's hard to fall head over heels for the lead male characters. While the majority of K-dramas do the job of charming fans with the love interest, not all pass the stamp of approval. There're common K-drama tropes that many follow like the jealous and overprotective boyfriend or the cold and aloof handsome male.

 

There have been many K-dramas that have swept fans off their feet with how sweet, caring, and romantic the love interest can be. Who wouldn't swoon over Go Eun-taek (Hwang Min-hyun) from the new show Live On? Many leads make for the perfect dateable boyfriend. But be wary of leads that don't pass the test.

 

8 Dateable: Lee Gon (The King: Eternal Monarch)

 

Lee-Gon-Kdrama-dateable-characters.jpg?q

 

Lee Gon played by actor Lee Min-ho


Besides the riveting fantasy storyline of The King: Eternal Monarch, fans had heart eyes for Lee Gon, played by actor Lee Min-ho. Not only is he the king of a country in a parallel world, but he's also a huge romantic. There're many occasions where Lee Gon makes the temperature rise when he gets flirty with his female lead.

 

When he falls in love with her, he does everything possible to protect her. He's also not shy about his intense feelings. One of the most riveting scenes is when he and his soldiers travel to the parallel world to save her and calls her "his queen." Lee Gon also makes it very clear to others that she will be his forever and his future wife.

 

7 Undateable: Goo Jun-Pyo (Boys Over Flowers)

 

Goo-Jun-Pyo-Kdrama-dateable-characters.j

 

Goo Jun-Pyo played by Lin Min-ho


The same actor who played Lee Gon in The King: Eternal Monarch happens to have also played a major jerk in Boys Over Flowers. While she does have him start a relationship with the female lead, it doesn't make up for his demeanor. He's the pretentious leader of the most popular boys in school called F4.


When the female lead transfers to their school, he immediately dislikes her and makes her life hell. He's constantly hot and cold with her and can cause whiplash. But fans have to give him some props for becoming a better person in the end.

A good dose of international content
Yash Bharati

Thanks to the unmatched popularity of Money Heist, which didn’t have the best openings (more on that below) and Korean Dramas, foreign language shows on Netflix have created a good space for themselves. But, apart from those, Dutch, German and Spanish shows– as expected – have made a place for themselves too. These shows helped us get through 2020 and if you haven’t watched them yet, then you’re definitely missing out on some good content.

Korean dramas have taken over the OTT scene in 2020. The popularity of these shows – and even K-pop – in India is paramount at the moment. If there’s one Korean show you must watch, it is The King: Eternal Monarch. One of the most popular ones in our country, it is a fantasy drama of a modern-day king, who steps into the real world. While he is disoriented by the surroundings, he meets a fierce female cop and the two seemingly embark on a romantic journey to uncover the gap between the two worlds.

"Between Scarcity and Growth" ... Corona 19 Attacked by Broadcasters [2020, Broadcasters Shocked]

 

Posted: Dec 23, 2020

 

A spokesperson for the drama company said: "Now the main business structure of the drama has changed to a situation where OTT fills sales, and after the Corona 19 incident, the addiction has become even more serious." In fact, SBS 'The King: Eternal Monarch', whose synagogue is worth 2 billion won, reportedly broke even by signing a supply contract with Netflix, although viewership ratings were below expectations ...

 

OTT up is the appearance of a K-drama

 

The advantage of actively investing in OTT is that K-drama status is on the rise. The pandemic has forced people from all over the world to stay in their homes. Similar to the increase in the use of OTT in Korea, the use of OTT is also increasing in countries around the world. Among them, the number of viewers from all over the world who are watching Korean dramas has increased. The fact that Netflix is served in approximately 190 countries is a powerful weapon.

According to Flix Patrol, a site that collects ratings based on today's "TOP 10" published by Netflix by region, 10 K-dramas are among the 100 most watched programs in the world this year. 17th "It's psycho, but it's okay", 28th "The King: Eternal Monarch", 41st "Youth Record", 55th "Love Crash Landing", 61st "The Doctor's Modest Life", 64 We loved, 65th Startup, 80th Ssangappocha, 87th Secret Forest, 97th Itaewon Class. In particular, Taiwan and Malaysia took 9th place in the top ten, Vietnam - 8th, Philippines - 7th, Thailand and Hong Kong - 6th, Japan - 5 thousand AMD.

A Netflix spokesman said, “Korea is a very important country for Netflix. This is because Korea has a great level of manufacturing infrastructure and many great stories. Netflix is creating an environment where more people can enjoy content more comfortably. “We are trying to form a cultural consensus by sharing Korean history with our members around the world,” he said.

He added, "Now that more and more people are falling in love with Korean content via Netflix in South America, North America and Europe outside of Asia, we will continue to partner with Korean creators to create even better stories." ...

‘The King Eternal Monarch’ Topped King Choice’s Best Korean Drama of 2020


If you have not watched Korean dramas, then you're missing out in so many ways!

 

Nowadays, K-dramas have become a trend and are already a worldwide phenomenon. Most especially after the quarantine started. When things feel a little overwhelming, others tend to escape into the fantastical world of Korean dramas to drown out the loneliness. Korean dramas are famous for their interesting storylines, intense but sometimes predictable plot twists, stellar acting, ethereal-looking cast, and of course, a heartwarming and cute romance.

 

These dramas can go from super silly to incredibly heartbreaking to "what was that?" in a snap! These are the varieties that keep viewers hooked and crave for some more. Today, we bring you the "Best Korean Drama of 2020" according to King Choice.

King Choice is a popular K-pop and K-drama voting website. Before the year ends, viewers get to choose the 2020 best Korean drama, and now we give you the result of that survey.

 

See Full Rankings below and see if your favorite made it to the top 10!

 

#1 "The King Eternal Monarch"

‘The King Eternal Monarch’ Topped King Choice’s Best Korean Drama of 2020


Based on King Choice's voting site, the drama that topped the survey was the fantasy drama starred by talented actor Lee Min Ho and his leading lady Kim Go Eun, "The King Eternal Monarch." The drama is set in two parallel worlds and follows Emperor Lee Gon's (Lee Min-Ho) 's life from the Kingdom of Corea, who one day discovers a portal crossing to another world, which is modern-day Korea that we all know. There he will meet detective Jung Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun), whom he is familiar with, from an identity card he found during the turning point of his childhood, which was his father's assassination.

 

The drama was hailed as one of the most-anticipated series in the first half of 2020 because of its star-studded cast, excellent screenwriter, and of course, its over-the-top production budget. "The King Eternal Monarch" has set a record for SBS's highest 2020 Friday-Saturday drama premiere ratings, and in addition to this, it also stayed in the No.1 spot on the weekly Wavve drama chart for eight consecutive weeks!

 

"The King Eternal Monarch" was ranked as the most popular Korean drama series on Netflix in India, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore and one of the top two in the U.S. The series may be topping surveys and rankings; however, it also received mixed reviews and lower-than-expected domestic TV viewership ratings on later episodes.

The 8 Best K-Drama Couples Of 2020

 

One detail that can make or break a K-drama is the lead couple. Sometimes, no matter how out-of-this-world a plot can be, the leading actors just don’t have that it factor together. Luckily, 2020 did not disappoint and offered several iconic couples. In no particular order, here are the K-drama couples that enchanted our hearts this year.

 

Lee Min Ho & Kim Go Eun in “The King: Eternal Monarch”

Lee Min Ho made his anticipated return to the small screen this year alongside Kim Go Eun, and the pair captivated our hearts. “The King: Eternal Monarch” tells the story of the ever-charming Emperor Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) who crosses over from the Kingdom of Corea into a parallel world of the Republic of Korea. There he meets the intelligent detective, Jung Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun), who reminds him of the person who saved his life 25 years ago.

Lee Gon and Tae Eul’s romance is a whirlwind. Both Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun mastered the dramatics and passion of running into your lover’s arms, among many other stand-out romantic scenes. Although the drama didn’t do as well as anticipated domestically, the pairing still managed to dazzle many viewers across the world.
