Our chart is starting to feel a little more balanced in genre — we’ve still got the dark thrillers going, but we’re also seeing more fantasy and romance. And it seems like Korean audiences are enjoying the change in variety, seeing My Roommate Is a Gumiho premiere to 5.3 percent. Guess the gumiho craze is still going strong!
Of course, the darker side of dramaland is going strong as well, as usual. Melodrama Youth of May, legal thriller Law School, and chaebol drama Mine garnered their highest ratings this week, with Mine inching closer to double digits. Then there was Taxi Driver, which finished off its 16-episode run just as positively as it started.
