When the Phone Rings grabs Most Buzzworthy Drama and Most Buzzworthy Actors recognition again

Michelle Topham January 6, 2025

The only people who aren’t surprised the just-ended When the Phone Rings is both the Most Buzzworthy Drama and its main leads the Most Buzzworthy Actors this week are those who haven’t yet watched this superb Korean drama.

Those rankings were just released by South Korea’s Good Data Corporation, and show When the Phone Rings easily grabbing the #1 spot, while the K-drama’s male lead Yoo Yeon Seok remains at #1 on the Buzzworthy Actors list and his co-star, Chae Soo Bin, still happily sits at #4.

The rest of this week’s Buzzworthy Drama list looks like this:

  1. When the Phone Rings 
  2. The Tale of Lady Ok
  3. The Fiery Priest 2
  4. Love Your Enemy
  5. Check in Hanyang
  6. Parole Examiner Lee
  7. Namib
  8. Who Is She!
  9. Iron Family
  10. Cinderella Game

As for the Most Buzzworthy Actors list, it’s also pretty predictable (and well-deserved) with actors from Squid Game 2, When the Phone Rings and Love Your Enemy doing particularly well:

  1. Yoo Yeon Seok (When the Phone Rings)
  2. Im Ji Yeon (The Tale of Lady Ok)
  3. Lee Jung Jae (Squid Game 2)
  4. Chae Soo Bin (When the Phone Rings)
  5. Choo Young Woo (The Tale of Lady Ok)
  6. T.O.P (Squid Game 2)
  7. Jung Yu Mi (Love Your Enemy)
  8. Ju Ji Hoon (Love Your Enemy)
  9. Gong Yoo (Squid Game 2)
  10. Lee Byung Hun (Squid Game 2)

You can check all Good Data Corporations data regarding various K-dramas and actors via their official website.

Meanwhile, the cast and crew of When the Phone Rings earned even more positive attention this week, as it was announced main leads Yoo Yeon Seok, Chae Soo Bin and Heo Nam Joon all grabbed Best Actor Awards at the MBC Drama Awards, while Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin were voted Best Couple.

Yay, eh?!!
