An exciting year of K-dramas is coming to a close!
As we wrap up the year, Soompi conducted a survey of Viki staff members about the most memorable K-dramas, actors, and actresses of 2025.
Korean dramas available on Rakuten Viki between January 1, 2025 and November 30, 2025 were eligible as survey options, and the survey was open from December 10, 2025 through December 20, 2025. 36 Viki staff members from various departments including Content, Marketing, Operations, Engineering, and more participated in the survey.
“Love Scout” and “Dear X” tightly competed for Most Memorable Drama, closely followed by “My Dearest Nemesis.” Hwang Minhyun’s performance in “Study Group” earned him Most Memorable Actor in a very tight race, while Kim You Jung’s transformation in “Dear X” earned her a dominant 36.1 percent of the votes for Most Memorable Actress.
