Entering February, the last of 2020’s dramas are trickling out. Rom-coms Run On and True Beauty aired their finales, both to decent ratings. They didn’t get much higher than 3-4 percent throughout their run, but they were very much loved by fans (myself included). Secret Royal Inspector, one of the few sageuks on the chart, will be ending soon as well.
With the new month, we also have some new dramas trickling in. The first of those was thriller L.U.C.A.: The Beginning, which premiered to — wowza — 5.4 percent. A pretty incredible beginning, for sure. Korea’s been loving their thrillers and sageuks lately, and we’ll be getting plenty more with the upcoming lineup. I’m excited for these newbies!
