Time picks best K-drama of the year 'Putting on Sunjae'... "Great Story"

Time, a U.S. weekly magazine, chose "Bounce with Sunjae" as the best K-drama of the year.

Time ranked "Bounce on Sunjae" as the top 10 K-dramas aired this year, saying that it had a great story that was well-organized, even though it was not the biggest budget or the most famous star.

Time ranked "Noon-Yi," "The Law of Love in the City" and "The Mall of Killers" as the next.

Time said that the interest of overseas streaming companies in the Korean entertainment industry has expanded the global audience of K-dramas, and that the types of K-dramas have also diversified.

He also introduced that although melodrama still plays a pivotal role in the Korean TV industry, the popularity of programs such as Squid Game has diversified the K-drama genre that overseas viewers like.

With all of these factors, Time said 2024 seemed like a big year for K-drama, but it was a normal year, at least from a viewer's perspective.
