Kim Tae Ri #1 on Buzzworthy Drama Actors list – her performance in Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born paid off

With the huge amount of attention the ongoing tvN drama Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born is currently earning, I am not surprised its star, Kim Tae Ri, has just hit #1 on the Buzzworthy Drama Actors list — just four episodes in to the 12 episode show. Are you?

Kim Tae Ri also beat out some of South Korea’s best actors for the #1 spot on the weekly Good Data Corp list (data released October 22nd).

Then again, the 34-year-old actress has been winning some major acting awards in the last few years, so there’s that too.

The list’s data, by the way, includes actors in both K-dramas on broadcast TV and OTT platforms, and is compiled from mentions on social media, in the news, and on blogs and in online forums.

The other nine talented actors the Jeongnyeon star placed ahead of are:

#2 – Park Shin Hye (The Judge From Hell)

#3 – Shin Ye Eun (Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born)

#4 – Shin Hae Sun (Dear Hyeri)

#5 – Kim So Yeon (A Virtuous Business)

#6 – Jung Eun Chae (Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born)

#7 – Kim Jae Young (The Judge From Hell)

#8 – Hwang In Youp (Family By Choice)

#9 – Jung Chae Yeon (Family By Choice)

#10 – Bae Hyun Sung (Family By Choice)

Both tvN’s Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born and JTBC’s Family By Choice dominate this week’s Buzzworthy Drama Actors list, with three actors each on the chart.

And, as if those three actors’ achievements weren’t already enough for tvN, Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born also hit #1 on the Buzzworthy Dramas list this week, beating out nine other superb K-dramas.

Congratulations to all the actors on the list.
