The helpful Google search engines continues to be the go to platform for anyone seeking information and the Korean search words in 2021 helps understand what was on people’s minds in Korea. Without splitting by category or top, only 2 entertainment related names made it on the overall Top 10 search terms in Korea – Squid Game was number 3 and K-actor Kim Sun Ho was number 6. The former due to its worldwide popularity and the latter for both Hometown Cha Cha Cha and then his subsequent scandal combined for a lot of searches of his name. For just the drama search terms here are the top 10: #1 is Squid Game, then The Uncanny Counter at 2 followed by Money Game in 3rd spot, then it’s Queen Cheorin (Mr. Queen) in 4th and Again rounds out the top 5. The next batch is D.P. in 6, then Drink Now, Work Later is 7th, streaming drama EXchange in 8th, poor early cancelled Joseon Exorcist takes the 9th spot, and the 10th position goes to The Veil (Black Sun).

Still no follow-up article on this ‘scandal’ koala?⏳
Money Game and Again? These were dramas this year? Never heard of them.
I saw Money Game, a pretty mediocre drama, and I thought it passed without a ripple among the public. This is very odd.
Money Game aired in 2020… It’s weird. There is a another tv show with this name?
The names are pretty random… It’s hard to say something about it.
I think Money Game that was mentioned is the 2021 survival
Show which has contestants locked up in an apartment for two weeks.
It just so happens to have the same name of a TVN Korean drama in 2020 starring Shim Eun Kyung which was largely ignored. It premiered at 3% something but went down as low as 1% something.
EXchange seems to be another TVN reality dating show with the cast made up of several former couples.
But I’m curious about Again. Is that Fly Again? Is it a 2021 musical web drama starring MONSTA X Hyun won, Kim Kyung Ji, H.O.T.’s Tony Ahn and Park Eun Hye.
