The different tastes of the Chinese and Korean audiences is once more at the forefront as a new poll taken of one thousand voters revealed results that differed some in quality while still hewing to similar popularity barometers. Song Joong Ki landed on both lists top three for favorite actor/actress, but he was number 1 in the Chinese choice while number 2 being veteran Ahn Sung Ki on the Korean side. Being right behind an acting god like Ahn Sung Ki is quite an honor if you ask me, and Song Kang Ho rounds out the top three in the Korean choice. On the Chinese side, behind Song Joong Ki is his Descendants of the Sun costar Song Hye Kyo followed by Hallyu star Lee Min Ho. For favorite K-dramas, Koreans picked classic mega hit Dae Jang Geum followed by DotS and then oldie Winter Sonata in the third spot. The Chinese viewers are all about DotS still, ranking it first followed by You From Another Star and then Dae Jang Geum. Check out the full poll results below.

1000 voters is a tiny sample size. The confidence interval is probably huge and not reflective of the population as a whole. That being said, Song Joong Ki and DotS is the flavor of the year, so not surprised that he is at the top of the list.
lmao stopped reading at 1000-voters poll
1000?????? lol another easy mediaplay on the day exposed rather quickly.. I'm laughing in tears.. Everybody knows which camp it's coming from. My advice just stopped it's embarrasing at this point
Would I expect feuds, if not fanwars again?
meh.
I read the other day that hundred thousands of people in china prefer tvn dramas online they're more popular to people...like signal & reply 1988.....hmmm
1000 people?!?! Lolz, was their budget that desperately low or they want a certain result? I'd have said more but that's just inviting trouble to myself haha.
The third place for variety is switched: Koreans picked 1N2D.
Of course it will differ. Not all of those Korean favorite promoted heavily on China. Only those that get promoted heaviy on China would get high result there.
And 1000 sample on China big populations?
