Year 2009 is a mix of triumphs and failures for the Korean entertainment industry.
The popularity of hallyu, or the Korean wave, continued to captivate fans in different Asian countries, notably Japan and in the Southeast Asian region. One girl band succeeded in entering the Billboard charts.
From the rise of musical and film talents to scandals, 2009 was a vibrant (and bitter) year for Korean entertainment.
#2. Boys over Flowers
The remake of “Hana Yori Dango” was one of the most anticipated drama series in Korea. “Boys over Flowers” created a buzz during the casting, as viewers were anticipating who would play the major roles in the drama series.
It premiered in January and became a ratings hit. From its fifth episode to the 25th, it was in the top five drama series in Korea. Its last episode garnered 34.8 percent rating to place first.
“Boys over Flowers” also fueled the careers of Koo Hye-sun, Lee Min-ho, Kim Hyun-joong (leader of boy group SS501), Kim Bum, Kim Joon, and Kim So Eun. In the 2009 Seoul Drama Awards, “Boys over Flowers” was voted as best drama, while Kim Hyun-joong was voted as best actor.
