Actor Kim Yoo-jung ranked first in cast buzz for Dear X.
On the 18th, according to buzz research company Good Data Corporation, the No. 1 spot in the TV-OTT combined drama cast buzz category for the second week of November went to Kim Yoo-jung.
Kim Yoo-jung, the lead of TVING original drama "Dear X," rose to first place within two weeks of release as her high synchronicity with the original webtoon character and outstanding acting became a topic of discussion.
In "Dear X," Kim Yoo-jung played Baek Ah-jin, who moves with a fierce obsession with success and cool control. Desire, anxiety and love intersecting, she expressed complex emotional lines with restrained acting, meticulously portraying the moments when the character's cracks begin to appear, heightening interest.
Meanwhile, in the TV-OTT buzz category, Netflix original drama As You Stood By took first place. As You Stood By, which started at fourth place in its first week after release, rose to the top in its second week as its buzz increased by 68.6%. Leads Lee Yu-mi and Jeon So-ni showed strong performances, ranking second and third respectively in the TV-OTT combined drama cast buzz category.
Looking at TV·OTT combined drama buzz from first to eighth place, all eight works exceeded a buzz score of 10,000 points.
Good Data Corporation data PD Won Soon-woo said, "As we enter 2025, this period is being surveyed as the time with the most watchable dramas," noting, "especially after works that surpassed 10,000 points appeared in succession in the first quarter of 2025 — 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', 'Resident Playbook', 'Hyper Knife', 'The Art of Negotiation' — the competition recently appears to be the fiercest."
Starting with As You Stood By at No. 1, the works that exceeded a buzz score of 10,000 points were Typhoon Family (2nd), Dear X (3rd), The Manipulated (4th), Seoul salaried manager Kim Bu-jang working at a big company (5th), Moon River (6th), Would You Merry Me (7th) and Dynamite Kiss (8th).
