Regardless of this position, I'd rate the circuits like this;
1.) COTA
2.) Buddh
3.) Yeongam
COTA on the top spot is a no brainer for me. The first sector is a beast. Likewise, it produces very good racing, despite the fact that Tilke, along with most pundits, actually predicted that it wouldn't.
India is a close second, it hasn't delivered a good race yet, but that might be because it was unlucky, as on both occasions Red Bull were dominant. It's similar to COTA in some ways. The circuit's "main style" is corners after corners, both fast and slow, and then there's a long straight slapped in there to add some overtaking.
Then finally, third is Yeongam. Out of these three circuits, it's the worst. However, I'd say that Korea is a bit under appreciated. I quite like the second sector, as do I like the Buddh. Nevertheless, in this list, it is a distant last.
