Please read this-

• You can only cast your votes for the genre and label stated in the title and the highest voted drama shall be displayed in the corresponding box the next day.

• Some dramas are multi genre so repetition is allowed as opinions are subjective. A drama may be nominated again for a different category even if it has won earlier.

• The vote grid is designed to capture the community's genuine preferences, but repeated nominations and strategic upvoting introduce bias. This creates an uneven playing field, making it unfair for other participants and their choices. Hence the highest upvoted comment shall be considered in such scenarios.

• It is not possible for me to accommodate a multitude of genres as it would make the grid too big. Once this series is done, I will post another series based on the genres suggested by you all.

• Please refrain from downvoting. This isn't really a competition. It's just a fun grid. If you dont agree with an opinion, dont upvote it. Down voting opinions will lead to people not giving their true opinion which isn't what this grid activity is about.

So the winner for **SPORTS/ DANCE** drama that was **OVERRATED** is **OH MY VENUS** with **11** votes

1st runner up is **FIGHT FOR MY WAY** with **8** votes.

These are some of the parameters that can be considered for a show to be overrated. However, these are suggestive in nature and not all parameters need to qualify.

**Overrated- Considered to be better than it really is**

• High Popularity Despite Not Having High Quality. The drama has some weak writing or maybe some weak acting or weak production (doesn't need to have all 3 reasons) but it still gained widespread attention. It remains popular even though it deserves less recognition. Dramas that can be nominated are those that either are beloved in both, South Korea as well internationally/online or those that were unsuccessful in South Korea yet popular internationally/online or popular in South Korea yet unsuccessful internationally/online.

• Good Promotion or Marketing. Good advertising or buzz from the network or platform it was streamed on. Many viewers are aware of the drama.

• Overshadowed smaller releases. Released alongside less hyped or less star-studded shows that deserved more popularity.

• It has a star studded cast or popular writer/ director's name attached to it which helped in it's success.

• Dramas that have been nominated for/won awards can also be nominated if YOU found them to be overrated.

• High ratings or viewership stats. It might have been successful with TV ratings in its home country or streaming numbers.

**• Whether a drama is overrated or not is a subjective opinion. It doesn't mean that the drama is bad. It just means that the drama is not as good as it's hype.**

**Please note-**

**Revenge**

**Legal**

**Makjang**

**Comedy**

**Melodrama/Tragic**

**Sci-fi**

**These are the genres that are going to be added to Part 3 of the grid (when this grid is over). If you have any suggestions for other genres or think some genres should be omitted, please write them in the comments. Also please keep this in mind when nominating dramas for this grid. Thank you.**
