Top Drama Viewership Ratings for the Week of May 18-24, 2020

Drama ratings were looking pretty bleak last week (save for a few hit shows), but I’m happy to report that things have turned around. Well, sort of. We still got a lot of low numbers, but with a new mix of shows and some pivotal episodes, there was at least a little bit of change. And right now, even the teeniest bit of change is good for me.

At the beginning of the week, the two lone shows Born Again and Good Casting continued to fluctuate. Then, in the middle of the week, Soul Repairer took quite a hit, dropping down to 2.3 percent. Taking the spotlight were newbies Old School Intern and Mystic Pop-up Bar with 6.5 percent and 3.6 percent respectively. For this timeslot, that’s mighty impressive.

Finally, at the end of the week, we had Hospital Playlist’s penultimate episode come in with a high of 13.1 percent. (Can’t wait to see what the finale gets!) The King, who’d been having a hard time keeping its audience, actually saw a rise in numbers — if it’ll last, I don’t know. The last newbie was Team Bulldog, replacing Rugal on OCN and premiering to 1.9 percent.
