We’ve been seeing some really decent ratings lately, especially for our sageuks. This week, The King’s Affection finally hit double digits (as well as its highest rating) after thirteen episodes. Secret Royal Inspector and Joy saw a bit of a dip but still managed to stay strong around 4 percent.
And then, later in the week, The Red Sleeve Cuff sped past Now, We Are Breaking Up with 9.4 percent. While Red Sleeve has consistently been rising, Breaking Up has been stuck around 7 percent. We also had the addition of School 2024, the latest of the beloved School series, which premiered to a quiet 2.8 percent.
