'Sandglass' Voted Best Korean Soap Since 1980

"Sandglass" (1994) was voted the best Korean TV soap opera since 1980 by 20 star producers and drama writers, including Kim Jong-hak, Choi Wan-gyoo and Noh Hee-kyeong.

"Sandglass", written by Song Ji-na and directed by Kim, was praised for its realistic portrayal of how dark political situations affect individuals' lives. It was so popular that people often went home early from work to catch it.

"Jewel in the Palace" ("Dae Jang Geum" - 2004), which was hyped as the ultimate TV soap opera, came in second. "Eyes of Dawn" took third place, followed by "Winter Sonata" and "You and I".
