Our surprise of the week is that Crash continues on its steady rise in week two. The trajectory is good, if the drama continues to keep it up. Lovely Runner has also been gathering word of mouth during its run and is inching towards 5%.
Our two new weekend dramas – Bittersweet Hell and Connection — have a nice start with 6.0% and 5.7% respectively, but we’ll see where they land after next week when viewers settle into a show.
