"Yong Pal" was the story of an heiress in an induced coma and the often unethical doctor who becomes her knight in white armor. The drama starred popular actors Joo Won and Kim Tae Hee.
"I Have A Lover" may not have been a ratings hit but attracted attention because of the chemistry between actors Ji Jin Hee and Kim Hyun Joo.
"High Society" offered romantic comedy in the story of mismatched lovers. Sung Joon was an ambitious manager from a poor background determined to marry up in the world. Uee was an heiress pretending to be poor so she could find true love. A second couple in the drama, played by Park Hyung Sik and Lim Ji Yeon were a fan favorite.
The webtoon turned drama "The Girl Who Sees Smells" starred Park Yoo Chun and Shin Se Kyung as one of the sweeter couples in kdramaland this year.
"Mrs. Cop" proved to be an effective drama vehicle for veteran actress Kim Hee Ae playing a female cop who must balance detective work with child care.
And finally "The Village - Achiara's Secret" tried something different, using thriller elements to highlight the tragic story of the after effects of rape. That drama starred Moon Geun Young and promising rookie actor Yook Sung Jae. Dark and moody, it was full of suspenseful plot twists.
Altogether the SBS judges have a lot of quality drama to choose from. Which drama do you think they will pick?
