Most Favorite This Year, Top 10 Dramas in 2021 According to Millions of Fan Votes

 

Every month, a polling site KingChoice runs different polls on different topics in Korean entertainment. Starting from the most popular K-Pop idols to the best songs or the most handsome actors, and so on.

 

For December, they held a month-long poll for fans to vote for their favorite K-Drama of 2021. Some of the top dramas did come out this year, but there are others that are still popular with fans to this day.

 

With a total of more than 4.3 million votes, here are the top 10 picks for the best drama of the year according to the KingChoice poll:

 

3. The King: Eternal Monarch

 

 

The King: Eternal Monarch premiered on Netflix on April 17, 2020, and stars Lee Min Ho, Kim Go Eun, Woo Do Hwan, Kim Kyung Nam, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Jung Jin. With so many big names in this case, the series is highly anticipated, and ranks number one on various drama lists in terms of views and ratings. 

 

The series is about an emperor of the Kingdom of Korea who discovers the alternate reality of the Republic of Korea through a magical door opened by his step-uncle, who killed the previous king and has committed atrocities that must be stopped.

See even in 2021, King's choice voted for TKEM as 3rd most popular Netflix Kdrama.  So I don't buy that TKEM is a flop.  It even overtook CLOY and Squid Games in that poll. It was a very popular Netflix drama. Bravo to LMH.

No, I haven't been to Mr Chow.  I'm looking at the Yelp review.  Apparently, it's a chain.  It has mediocre reviews.  Expensive, but food is like Panda Inn lol.  HOwever, I bet LMH would have a different experience than if I went to eat there.

********

I'm ready for a Christmas present from LMH.  How about y'all?:tounge_wink:

@CarolynH I've been in this resto in Beverly Hills some years ago. It's a fine dining style sort of restaurant, with a dress code. No tux needed - hahaha - but wearing board shorts and flip-flops are not allowed. It has outdoor seating. We sat outside so can't speak to the indoor ambiance. We found & chose that resto because one of my friends (it was her birthday) preferred a Chinese food in Beverly Hills while we were there and it's so highly talked about. My 1st time & it was a good place. We were there Friday night & it was packed. The food was OK, but for me, not really very good. Their roasted duck was really very interesting, the Mr. Chow chicken noodles, too. Some ordered rice. It's just that it took way too long for each course to be served. I guess because there were many customers during that time. This place is hilariously expensive for a Chinese restaurant. Even the steamed rice was pricey. I think that is crazy - hahaha - And  I appreciated being checked on but twice is enough, I think. LOL - It's definitely not an everyday restaurant but would recommend to anyone who asks to try it at least once. There's also Mr. Chow in Sydney, Australia owned and operated by the same Mr Chow Inc group. :kaching1:

Top 9 richest Korean actors in 2021

 

One thing is for sure, being a famous movie star will bring tons of money to their bank account.

 

On the other hand, the wealthiest Korean actors come from Korean dramas. Kdrama has become a culture among moviegoers around the world. So their influence on us is extremely large.

 

It is not difficult to understand that the richest Korean actors are all present in blockbuster dramas.

 

 

4. Lee-Min-Ho

 

Lee-Min-Ho-LACMA-2021.jpg

 

Net Worth- $26 million
Per-episode earnings: $62,000.

 

Lee-Min-Ho’s claim to fame was the 2009 film “Boys Over Flowers”. This was followed by many of the additional successful dramas and films, all of which helped to boost his star power. He is currently one of the most well-known Korean celebrities in the world.

BTS and Lee Min Ho: discover everything they have in common

 

FGE68_1WQAYT5no?format=jpg&name=900x900

 

It's not just fame that BTS and Lee Min Ho have in common, read on to find out what the actor and the most famous group have in common at the moment.

The members of BTS and Lee Min Ho are some of the most famous Korean artists in the world, they all present a good show in an Asian country.

Everyone in their field was able to position themselves in companies and institutions on the western side of the field.

Both the members of the K-pop group and the actor have supported large companies, collaborated with projects and modeled for large brands, this is what unites them.

 

Louis Vuitton saw something special in them

 

In 2021, the BTS members became the official ambassadors of the French brand Louis Vuitton, becoming the first major fashion house with which the group signed such a major contract. For his part, Lee Min Ho is the main model of the watch and jewelry line of the Parisian house. This is not the first time he has worked with the company, but this is his first long and important agreement.

 

Together in the new Louis Vuitton campaign

 

More and more Korean artists are introducing advertisements in the western region, and seeing Lee Min Ho with Jin, Suga, RM and other guys in a group as part of the Louis Vuitton campaign could be one of the most anticipated events Not only for fans of k-drama and K- pop, but for all those people who know a thing or two about show business and understand that a collaboration of this magnitude is almost historical.

@msdot, Too bad it turned out to be a fake and not an official trailer. It sounded like Gangnam Blues in stellistics, but I thought it was a coincidence...

Your experience is in line with the Yelp reviews that I read.  Apparently, the other branches are better than LA.

@nina_mitrokhina I think I saw the same video in YouTube.  Hopefully, we will see the official official trailer soon.

I just realized that my free Apple TV + ends in May!  I hope we see Pachinko before my free subscription expires! Ugh!

I wondered what meeting that was.

His English is good enough to talk to those persons ? Good boy ! Our cutie.  :heart:

 

Right? They're not Korean-looking so it's likely he's talking to them in English.

 

Indeed, it's been a while since the last time we saw him glammed up :wub:

I loved ep 2!:1646639759_ezgif.com-gif-maker(1):  It seems he's really out of it (remember the episode when they woke him at 430 and he was mumbling?) or grumpy, early in the morning lol.  Actually, I'd be irritated too, if someone kept knocking on my door.  I think better in the morning, but I like it quiet.  I like my banana with a tinge of green and no spots, so LMH was eating a perfect banana IMO.  Once the spots appear, it smells.  LMH's tennis skills have improved from when we saw him in Good Day series.  I wonder what the meeting was about.  I'm very curious about that.  Isn't it so interesting how he can look and act boyish, then sophisticated when he dresses up?  Who is jealous of the squirrel?  :joy:

I am really curious what the meeting is about?  I was hoping a drama but if he is thinking of Ask the stars... then perhaps not.  Maybe a commercial in the US? One can only hope.  He still has the Huntington Beach clip to show I think and the LACMA.  So LMH Episode 3 coming soon.  Yaay!

The protagonist of The Heirs enjoyed his breakfast in an atmosphere surrounded by music and a light conversation with his companions, but the adventure was just about to begin. Lee Min Ho fulfilled his exercise routine by walking through a park in Beverly Hills, where he ran and played tennis until he was exhausted. The Korean celeb returned only for a moment to the place where he stayed, because he had some plans on his agenda that he did not want to miss.

There is something about a K-drama set in high school that gives us so many feelings of nostalgia and longing.

Seeing the journey of the characters become adults and experience love for the first time will give anyone butterflies.

“Boys Over Flowers”

Goo Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) has got all the characteristics needed to be a chaebol. He’s good-looking, charming, popular, has a lot of friends, and is pretty arrogant, so it’s no wonder when Geum Jan Di (Ku Hye Sun) transfers to his school that he treats her horribly. He bullies her, which in turn makes his fellow classmates bully her too. It takes a destined event and transformation for Jun Pyo to realize that his hate for her may not actually be hate but genuine feelings of affection.

 

Seeing an ice-cold Goo Jun Pyo go from being very mean to the new girl to following her around like a love-sick puppy, “Boys Over Flowers” will have you intrigued. The series is a classic. It has brought in a large wave of K-drama viewers and deservedly so! There is an adorable main love story and an epic love triangle that the K-drama world continues to talk about to this day. You’re bound to get sucked into their whirlwind romance!
