While almost the entire world will collectively agree that 2020 has been one big abysmal year, many of us relied on entertainment to provide us with a much-needed distraction from reality. Moreover, Korean dramas, which were already popular from before, found an even bigger fanbase during the quarantine period. Many 2020 dramas have already reached cult status; that's how impactful of a year it has been.

Pinkvilla recently held a poll to determine which 2020 K-drama was the ultimate favourite for fans.

Following second was Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin's eternal romance series Crash Landing on You which collected 29.3 percent votes. Rounding up the list, we had Kim Soo-hyun, Seo Ye-ji and Oh Jung-se's fantasy drama It's Okay to Not Be Okay and Park Seo-joon's revenge drama Itaewon Class at No. 3 and No. 4 with 23.3 percent votes and 7.4 percent votes respectively.

In the second poll, Suzy, Nam Joo-hyuk, Kim Seon-ho and Kang Han-na's romance drama was crowned the winner as Start-Up reigned supreme with an impressive 53.7 percent votes. Jo Jung-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Jung Kyung-ho, Kim Dae-myung and Jeon Mi-do's medical drama Hospital Playlist came in second with 26.5 percent votes. At No. 3 and No. 4. we have Park Bo-gum, Park So-dam and Byun Woo-seok's slice of life drama Record of Youth and Kim Hee-ae, Park Hae-joon and Han So-hee extramarital affair drama The World of the Married with 11.9 percent votes and 7.9 votes percent respectively.
