tvN’s “Run Away with Seonjae” has been selected by Time magazine as the best drama of the year. On the 18th (local time), Time nominated the “Top 10 Best Dramas of 2024,” with “Run Away with Seonjae” (written by Lee Si-eun and directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Tae-yeop) ranking first.
The media analyzed, “Byun Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon acted across two timelines, spanning their teen, 20s, and 30s, delivering emotion to the audience with their genuine performances.” The music was also highly appreciated, with a comment that “in a melodrama, the soundtrack is crucial for elevating viewers’ emotional catharsis,” and that “Byun Woo-seok’s song ‘Shower’ was particularly effective.”
Time praised the drama, stating, “Even without a massive budget, the drama boasted a great and well-constructed storyline, which is ultimately the most important element.”
Ranked second was tvN’s “Jeong Nyeoni” (written by Choi Hyo-bi and directed by Jeong Ji-in). It was reviewed as “not only the story of an outsider rising to the top of the performance industry but also about preserving Korea’s cultural traditions.”
TVING’s “The Love Law of Metropolis” (written by Park Sang-young and directed by Heo Jin-ho, Hong Ji-young, Son Tae-gyeom, and Kim Se-in) took third place. Fourth place went to Disney+’s “Killers’ Shopping Mall,” and fifth place was claimed by JTBC’s “Not a Hero.”
Sixth place was SBS-TV’s “Judge from Hell,” seventh was TVING’s “Pyramid Game,” eighth was tvN’s “Marry My Husband,” ninth was TVING’s “This Man, About to Die,” and tenth was Netflix’s “Mr. Plankton.”
