KOREAN TV BESTSELLERS
No surprises here: the sensational drama You Who Came From the Stars starring Jeon Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun came in first among TV dramas by a huge margin. It's followed by three other hot-topic dramas of the past two years – The Heirs, Master's Sun and I Hear Your Voice. Kim Soo Hyun's 2012 series Moon That Embraces the Sun sneaked back into the top ten thanks to his popularity and Gu Family Book stayed in the top sellers for the second consecutive year, but it's Coffee Prince that proves to be the most enduringly popular by charting yet again.![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
