2023 is about to knock on the door, promising an exciting new year for the Kdrama industry.
On this occasion, let's review all the outstanding things that happened in the Kdrama world in
2022.
Note, this is just general content for entertainment purposes and is mainly taken from the opinions
of many netizens.
So, please watch our video in your easiest mood.
The most epic wedding of 2022 I believe that just by reading this article,
many people would immediately think of none other than Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin.
In 2022, the Kdrama world witnessed many beautiful love stories blossoming as a series of famous
couples such as Park Shin Hye - Choi Tae Joon, Gong Hyo Jin - Kevin Oh, Hyun Bin - Son Ye
Jin, etc. have officially married and were showered in the blessing of netizens.
But obviously the most spectacular wedding certainly belongs to the famous couple Hyun
Bin and Son Ye Jin, taking place on March 31.
The 2 stars are considered one of the top gods and goddesses of the industry so their
big day is often called "wedding of the century".
The wedding was held in a dreamlike ceremony with the presence of a series of top actors
and actresses in the entertainment industry like Gong Hyo Jin, Song Yoon Ah, Lee Min Jung,
Uhm Ji Won, Lee Jung Hyun, Yoona, Song Joong Ki, etc.
Although the wedding was quite simple and private since most of the guests are family
and close friends of Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin, with huge attraction from the couple, news
and information about the wedding were constantly updated in detail by fans and netizens.
Everything from the the venue, the preparation, the date of the wedding, the image of the
couple on their honeymoon, how Hyun Bin took care of his wife, and even their healthy first-born
child, has been updated and congratulate enthusiastically.
Indeed, it is difficult for any couple in this industry to overcome the charm of Son
Ye Jin and Hyun Bin at the present.
The most pitiful actor More than 10 billion won, the amount of money
that Lee Seung Gi has to trade for effort and time to get, was taken away by his management
company - Hook Entertainment yet the actor has always believed that he was so incompetent
to the point that he made no money and his agency had to even make up for the loss he
created.
Who can be more pitiable than Lee Seung Gi in the past 2022?
In November, Dispatch released a series of evidence that Hook Entertainment stole more
than 10 billion won of profits accumulated during Lee Seung Gi's 18-year career.
Not only that, the singer-actor has also been abused and threatened by the CEO for the past
18 years.
If you want to follow the whole incident, check out our informative videos on the channel.
Updating the final results, although Hook Entertainment had paid Lee Seung Gi an amount
of 5.4 billion won to cool him down, the male actor still decided to sue the company for
their cunning tricks and blatant lie to expose the truth about them and regain justice.
After all, despite being the most pitiful actor to this point, Lee Seung Gi also became
the most respectable artist, receiving a bunch of compliments from fans and netizens for
his steadfastness and kindness when donating all the money he got back from Hook Entertainment
to charity activities.
The most scandalous actor of the year Well, we would like to give this title to
none other than actress Kim Sae Ron.
Kim Sae Ron has been famous since she was a child star and was even once hailed as an
acting prodigy.
However, instead of making use of what she has, Kim Sae Ron slept on her victory and
began to fall into bad habits.
Specifically, on May 18, the actress drove her car into a substation and roadside tree
near the Hak-dong intersection in Cheongdam-dong, causing more than 50 buildings to lose power
as well as making traffic there frozen.
According to the investigation results, Kim Sae Ron had a pretty high blood-alcohol content
as she used alcohol before driving.
Not only that, after causing such a serious accident, the actress did not get out of the
car to check but immediately fled the scene.
Needless to say, the public and media were extremely indignant at the wrong and irresponsible
behavior of the used-to-be star, to the point that Kim Saeron got literally boycotted by
everyone on social networks, forcing her to actively withdraw from the drama project she
was participating in.
After that, the studios and brands that were cooperating with Sae Ron had to urgently find
a replacement to avoid being criticized for being related to her.
Most recently, Kim Sae Ron’s management company officially terminated the contract
with the young actress, leading to many believing that she would have to retire at the age of
22.
It’s too bad for Kim Sae Ron's career, isn’t it?

The most controversial kdrama of the year Coincidentally, all the controversial dramas
this year achieved very high ratings and received a lot of attention from the audience.
Twenty Five Twenty One; Reborn Rich or Little Woman are some examples.
And perhaps among them, Twenty Five Twenty One is considered the most controversial
The drama continuously set ratings records when it aired from February to April 2022
on tvN.
In parallel with the positive viewership ratings were a series of controversies that exploded
through each stage of the series.
First, it was criticized for romanticizing the relationship between an adult man - Baek
Yi Jin (played by Nam Joo Hyuk) and a minor - Na Hee Do who was a highschool girl (played
by Kim Tae Ri) Twenty Five Twenty One was even vehemently
cursed for the fact that in a scene of the drama, Na Hee Do was so excited when watching
Baek Yi Jin reporting on the September 11 attacks when she should have been shocked
and mourned for the victims.
Many were outraged because the drama integrated such a terrible tragedy as well as the pain
of others into a random love story.
Not only that, the ending of Twenty Five Twenty One also received lots of criticism and disappointment
when being considered meaningless, as Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do eventually went their
separate ways in great regret.
Even by the end of the series, the identity of Na Hee Do's husband was not made public.
In fact, the first episodes of the drama were so excellent that such an ending turned out
to be a disgrace to the whole story.
And yet, the two main actor and actress of the drama, Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk, also
appear in the list of the worst-behaved actors of 2022.
This list is called the Korean version of 2022 Golden Raspberry Award which "honors"
all the worst actors and dramas of the year.
For Kim Tae Ri, the reason why she made it to the list was that last year, at the press
conference for the release of the Alienoid, during the interview, Kim Tae Ri answered
questions while scribbling words on the wall, thus being said to be infected with her character’s
personality in Twenty Five Twenty One as Na Hee Do also has a rather weird attitude sometimes.
As for Nam Joo Hyuk, the actor was accused of school violence before the release of Remember,
which negatively affected his image.
However, he has somehow been vindicated, making many netizens feel extremely discontent and
angry.

The most transformative actor of the year With this category, we would like to name
Park Eun Bin with many impressive roles in the past 2022.
The works with the participation of Park Eun Bin are all very successful and receive great
support from the audience.
In particular, Park Eun Bin excellently transformed into Woo Young Woo, a genius newbie lawyer
with autism, creating the "Woo Young Woo syndrome" not only in Korea but also all around the
world.
With excellent acting that touches viewers' hearts, Park Eun Bin brought her character
to life and Woo Young Woo is even considered the actress’ "role of a lifetime".
That’s why Extraordinary Attorney Woo has been a huge success when recording the highest
ratings ever in the history of ENA.
Previously, Park Eun Bin had also tried her hand at the role of a boy in The King's Affection,
creating a very popular female couple.
The drama opened with an average nationwide rating of 6.2% and ended at 12.1%, according
to Nielsen Korea.
With Park Eun Bin’s brilliant acting as well as the interesting plot, The King's Affection
has become the first Korean drama to win an International Emmy Award.
And those are our brief summaries of the most remarkable things in the past 2022.
