Hope everyone had a good Christmas! Though it was a holiday week, our dramas’ ratings weren’t really affected. At the beginning of the week, Penthouse inched even closer to 30 percent. And later in the week, True Beauty and Mr. Queen reached their highest ratings so far of 3.9 percent and 11.8 percent respectively.
Some shows got pre-empted, but for something like Uncanny Counter, which has done incredibly well, I doubt that will hurt its numbers. Finally, we had Secret Royal Inspector premiere to 5 percent and Kairos finish off with 3.3 percent. It’s sad to see shows fizzle out with low ratings, but what can you do? The Big Three broadcasters just haven’t had much luck lately.
