There wasn’t much change with ratings this week, but still plenty to talk about. The Monday-Tuesday trinity remains in tight competition, Haechi in first place and My Fellow Citizens and Special Labor Inspector Jo alternating second and third. All the while, the cable shows have barely budged from their average numbers.
Of course, you know the drill with the Wednesday-Thursday line-up. Doctor Prisoner is still on top, though I will say that it’s barely budged from its average numbers as well, that being 12 to 14 percent. Finally, for the weekend, we have sageuk Nokdu Flower replacing the very popular The Fiery Priest. And with a nice 11.5 percent rating on its first day, Nokdu Flower is already looking like a great successor.
