NETFLIX'S THE FROG, TVN'S NO GAIN NO LOVE ADVANCE ON BUZZWORTHY K-DRAMA CHART; SHIN MIN A, KIM YOUNG DAE FINALLY LISTED
The Frog, starring Go Min Si in the lead and EXO's Chanyeol in the supporting cast, debuted on the K-drama buzzworthy chart last week at #3. In the final week of August, Netflix's original thriller series held its post as one of the most attention-grabbing recent South Korean premieres.
Making a name for herself on the performers of the week list, Go Min Si of Sweet Home fame again firmly clung to her spot. The 29-year-old actress' impressive showmanship in The Frog earned her great praise on social media, and she also made gains on other K-drama performers in the buzzworthiness department. Having first found a spot for herself on the weekly buzzworthy performers list curated by Good Data Corporation's FUNdex at #8, she soared to fifth place this time.
According to the ‘K-Content Online BuzzWorthiness’ chart's latest update on September 3, Good Partner and Love Next Door led the way in their consecutive winning streaks.
tvN's No Gain No Love, starring Shin Min A, Kim Young Dae, Han Ji Hyun and Lee Sang Yi, had settled as an underrated August premiere. Ditching its weeks-long chart-closing ranks, the romantic comedy title soared to fourth place. Simultaneously, K-drama leads Shin Min A and Kim Young Dae also finally found a spot on the performers list at #4 and #10, respectively.
