According to the average household rating results of major channel dramas in 2024 (based on the Seoul metropolitan area, miniseries started in 2024, excluding weekend consecutive, daily, and one-act dramas, the same below), SBS recorded 9.3% to rank No. 1 for five consecutive years, proving that it is the `No. 1 drama channel.' SBS also topped the 2049 ratings, which show program topics and advertiser preferences, with 3%, the only channel to surpass 3%.
The SBS drama lineup, which aims to rank No. 1 in ratings for six consecutive years in 2025, has been unveiled. From the popular 'My perfect secretary' to the 'Treasure Island', 'Going back', 'Our Movie', 'Tri', 'Tri', 'Universe Merimi', 'Sama', 'Exemplary Taxi 3', 'Kissing for no reason!', 'I'm a human from todayAll-time works such as Man are responsible for SBS dramas in 2025.
The first production of SBS's drama in 2025 is 'My Perfect Secretary' (played by Ji Eun, directed by Ham Jun-ho and Kim Jae-hong). Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk's perfect visuals and exciting close-up care, which are hard to take their eyes off at all, properly utilized the virtues of the romance genre, and the relationship between the female representative and the male secretary's cliché was praised for being fresh. It has surpassed 14% of the highest ratings and 4% of the 2049 ratings, sweeping the headlines.
SBS's best genre, Cider Revenge, is also prepared. It is a life-long revenge battle in which Seo Dong-ju (Park Hyung-sik), who hacked 2 trillion won worth of political slush funds, fights for absolute evil that killed him and everything to destroy the world. Expectations are raised as Park Hyung-sik and Heo Jun-ho, who will transform into dark ambitious men who are 180 degrees different from their existing images, will show strong acting chemistry beyond their age.
'Gwigung' (played by Yoon Soo-jung, directed by Yoon Seong-sik) is a fantasy rom-com drama in which the body of Yeori, a shaman who rejects the fate of Yeongmae, and Cheol-i Lee, who is trapped in the body of Yeori's first love Yoon Gap, are confronted by eight ears that have a grudge against the royal family and his body and soul are tightly twisted. Director Yoon Sung-sik, who directed 'Queen Cheolin', 'Best Yi Sun-shin', 'Gakshital', 'Daejo-young', etc., and Yook Sung-jae (Yoon Gap/Kang Chul-i), Kim Ji-yeon (Yeo Ri), Kim Ji-hoon (Lee Seong), and Kim Young-kwang (Kang Chul-i), a special actor, are drawing attention.
"Our Movie" (played by Han Kang Kyung-min, directed by Lee Jung-heum) is a melodrama in which a film director who is suffering from the Sopermore jinx (which means that the person who showed outstanding performance at the beginning has rapidly declined since then) and an aspiring actor of the free spirit heal wounds and love each other by filming a film together. Attention is focused on the new transformation of Nam Goong-min, who gave birth to several viewers' life works at SBS.
'Tri: We Become a Miracle' (played by Lim Jin-ah, directed by Jang Young-seok) is a sports drama about young people who risk their lives by running and playing ball against the world and become miracles by themselves. Expectations are high as Yoon Kye-sang, Lim Semi and Kim Yo-han have completed a casting line that combines solid acting skills and healthy energy.
'WJMerimi' is a sweet, chewy, 90-day camouflage survival romantic comedy-drama between two men and women trying to secure a high-end honeymoon giveaway. Choi Woo-sik and Jung So-min, who are excited about the casting alone, will meet to show the best romance chemistry.
starring Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon 'Warts' (played by Lee Young-jong, directed by Byun Young-joo) is a story about a woman who is imprisoned as a serial killer long ago and begins a serial murder that mimics her. Director Byun Young-joo of the movie 『Hwacha" and writer Lee Young-jong of the movie 『Spring of Seoul』 have joined forces, making us look forward to the birth of a never-before-seen crime thriller.
Starring Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin, 'Kiss for No Reason!' (played by Ha Yoon-ah, Tae Kyung-min, directed by Kim Jae-hyun) is a heartbreaking romance between a single woman who disguised herself as a mother and the team leader who fell in love with her for a living. It is expected to give excitement to the explosion of dopamine in the small screen.
The essence of the Korean-style caper drama 'Exemplary Taxi 3' (played by Oh Sang-ho, directed by Kang Bo-seung) will make its comeback in two years. The most recent series 'Model Taxi 2' recorded the highest viewership among the miniseries aired in 2023 with a maximum viewership of 25.6% (based on Nielsen Korea/metropolitan area), and it ranked first in 16 countries worldwide within 10 days of its release, and stood tall as a 'reliable and watched mega-hit IP'. Expectations are high that the members of 「Rainbow Transportation」 will once again join forces to lead the success of three consecutive at-bats, starting with Lee Je-hoon, who sang 'Goddogi Syndrome'.
Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon star 'I'm a human from todayMan' (played by Park Chan-young, directed by Kim Jung-kwon) is an extremely human 'hate' romantic comedy-drama of a Gumiho who refuses to be human and a soccer star who is torn apart by him. Expectations are high on how Kim Hye-yoon, who imprinted her unrivaled presence with "Bounce on Sunjae", will complete the never-before-seen character of Gumiho Eunho.
In particular, this year, SBS expressed its ambition to continue the vision of the No. 1 drama ratings channel by establishing a new drama lineup during the week. An SBS official said "In 2025, SBS aims to revive its weekly drama lineup to reach viewers with more colorful works. I will be responsible for the viewers' small screen with dramas of various subjects and genres such as romance, historical drama, genre, and season system" he said.
