We’ve seen worse preemption bouts than this, but with year-end award shows taking over the weekend, it feels like the whole of dramaland is a bit off-kilter. That being said, Like Flowers in Sand holds steady for its second week, Tell Me That You Love Me finally crosses that 2% mark, and The Matchmakers goes out with a very nice 5.8%. And with our non-cable weekend shows on break, we saw nice numbers — even for the TV Chosun/Jang Nara premiere.
