We said goodbye to many dramas this week, with Wild Boar Hunting and Cafe Minamdang seeing small spikes as they concluded. Speaking of spikes, there was none in the Wednesday-Thursday slot, where Extraordinary Attorney Woo has left a giant hole; its high ratings did not transfer (yet?) to Good Job.
Moving on to our weekend slots, Big Mouth continues its climb, peaking at 11.5%, while part one of Alchemy of Souls concluded at over 9%. I’m happy for the drama, but that was just too much cliffhanger for us to last until December.
