The popularity of the tvN series What's Wrong with Secretary Kim continues to rise with the said drama surpassing many of its competitors. Recently, the Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young romantic comedy series topped a monthly Brand Reputation chart with competitor drama Are You Human Too lagging behind.

For the month of July, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim was deemed the winner among currently airing South Korean dramas. Recently released by the Korean Business Research Institute, the Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young starrer topped the said chart with an impressive brand reputation index of 13,988,047.

To come up with the monthly scores, the said institute analyzed various information such as consumer participation, media coverage, community awareness, communication and viewership data of 25 K-dramas. For the period of June 6 until July 7, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim landed at first place with high-ranking keyword phrases that included Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon's names, as well as the words "heart-fluttering" and "sweet."

Marry Me Now came in after What's Wrong with Secretary Kim with a brand reputation index of 11,803,607. The said KBS drama's ranking marked the second time that the Han Ji Hye and Lee Sang Woo series landed at number two. Occupying the third to fifth spots are the dramas Mysterious Personal Shopper, Miss Hammurabi, and Suits, respectively.

Unlike What's Wrong with Secretary Kim that topped the July Brand Reputation chart, the Seo Kang Joon starrer Are You Human Too occupied the sixth place on the said list. Apart from the said KBS sci-fi series, other dramas that ranked on the bottom half of the said chart's Top 10 included the SBS drama Wok of Love and Partners for Justice at seventh and eighth place, respectively. The melodrama Come and Hug Me came in at number nine, followed by the OCN time-travel series Life on Mars at tenth place.
