More good news for the historical dramas, with King’s Affection staying strong and Red Sleeve Cuff reaching double digits in its fourth week. And if it seems like we’re swimming in sageuks now, we’re going to be drowning in them pretty soon, as there are even more on the way.
Before the new shows come in, some of our current ones have to wrap up. Reflection of You ended on Thursday, to 3.2 percent, which was consistent with its usual numbers. And finally, dramas Happiness, Inspector Koo, and Jirisan are gearing up to end as well.
