The MBC's historical Kdrama is not giving the title anytime soon as Lee Se Young and 2PM Junho's "The Red Sleeve Cuff" dominates the most buzzworthy drama and actor rankings. 

For the 3rd week of December, the Friday and Saturday series topped Good Data Corporation's latest rankings. 

The weekly chart is based on the data collected from news articles, videos, social media posts, and online communities that generated the most popularity from currently airing or upcoming Kdramas.

As the historical drama surprises viewers with shocking twists and turns, "The Red Sleeve Cuff" remains the most buzzworthy drama for six consecutive weeks with 19.42 points. 

Apart from it, the popularity of the series transpired to its soaring viewership, continuing to maintain the double-digit status of 13.3 percent average nationwide rating for its episode 12, setting a new personal best. 

Interestingly, the newly debuted "Snowdrop" came in second place, garnering 14.63 points. 

This will be the first time that Jung Hae In and BLACKPINK Jisoo's Kdrama entered the weekly rankings despite being heavily criticized due to an alleged historical distortion.
