The March K-drama Brand Reputations rankings are out and, as most drama fans will probably expect, the smash hit SBS crime series Buried Hearts is at #1 on the list.
The latest Seo Kang Joon vehicle Undercover High School, which is currently airing on MBC, hit the #2 spot, KBS2’s Cinderella Game is at #3, KBS2’s For Eagle Brothers hit the #4 spot, and rounding out the Top 5 is the Netflix exclusive Melo Movie.
As usual, the rankings are calculated by the Korean Business Research Institute by looking at the reactions to 18 currently airing or recently ended dramas from a mix of media coverage, social media, community awareness and viewership.
The full Top 10 in the March Drama Brand Reputation rankings looks like this:
- Buried Hearts
- Undercover High School
- Cinderella Game
- For Eagle Brothers
- Melo Movie
- The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call (Netflix)
- Friendly Rivalry (U+ Mobile TV)
- My Dearest Nemesis (tvN)

Other Korean dramas further down the rankings list are My Merry Marriage, The Witch, Motel California, Desperate Mrs. Seon Ju, The Potato Lab, When Life Gives You Tangerine, Mother and Mom and the season’s biggest ever disappointment Kick Kick Kick Kick.
