The news of the week is that My Dearest hit the much-anticipated double digits — but also well worth reporting is Not Other’s 5.5% finale peak (go, ENA!).
As for our premieres, My Lovely Boxer had a lackluster go of it (I still think their early marketing of the drama was to blame for the total lack of buzz), and Destined With You fared towards the middling — though not terrible for the sluggish midweek slot, where it was pitted against SBS’s Thursday drama and ENA’s Longing for You.
