Netflix’s “The Glory,” the revenge drama starring Song Hye-kyo, emerged as the No. 1 favorite TV and video streaming program in South Korea in March.  Since January 2013, polling firm Gallup Korea has been conducting its monthly survey to pick the favorite TV programs in South Korea.

Starting in January this year, the firm has added programs that can be watched not only on TV but on over-the-top streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video to its monthly survey.  It changed the name of the monthly survey from favorite TV programs to favorite broadcast video programs to reflect the change.  For March, Gallup Korea held the survey from March 14 to 16 among 1,003 respondents aged 18 and above in South Korea.  The results showed that “The Glory” garnered 14.8 percent to become the No. 1 favorite TV program in South Korea in March.  “The Glory” part 2 was released on March 10, the finale of the drama about a woman who takes revenge against those who bullied her in high school.  After the release of part 1 in December, “The Glory” placed second for two straight months in January and February in the Gallup survey.  According to Gallup Korea, “The Glory” is the first web drama and first OTT production program to rank first in the survey.  In terms of drama preference since January 2013, “The Glory” ranked third overall behind Song Joong-ki’s “Reborn Rich,” which garnered 16.6 percent in December 2022, and “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” which received 16.4 percent in August 2022.  Placing second in the March survey is the music competition “Mr. Trot” season 2 with 7.6 percent, which ranked first in the February survey.  The 51-episode weekend drama “Three Bold Siblings” ranked third with 3.2 percent while the singing competition “Fire Trot” ranked fourth with 3.1 percent.  “Love in Eyes,” the 123-episode daily Korean drama, ranked fifth with 3 percent followed by the reality show “I Am a Natural Person” with 2.8 percent.  The Disney+ Korean series “Big Bet,” starring Choi Min-sik, Son Suk-ku and Lee Dong-hwi, and filmed in the Philippines, placed seventh with 2.4 percent.  The Korean Netflix documentary “In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal” about religious leaders who claimed to be prophets ranked eighth with 2.2 percent.  The entertainment show “Running Man” grabbed ninth place with 2.1 percent.  The Prime Video and tvN unscripted series “Seojin’s” (aka “Jinny’s Kitchen), starring Lee Seo-jin, Jung Yu-mi, Park Seo-jun, Choi Woo-shik and BTS’ V, bagged 10th place with 1.9 percent. This is the first time that “Seojin’s” entered the survey.  Here are Gallup Korea’s top 20 favorite broadcast video programs in South Korea in March 2023:  1\.
