Oh gosh, so many new shows — where to begin? Every timeslot is suddenly full, the weekend especially overflowing. At the beginning of the week, joining The King’s Affection, we had Idol: The Coup and Secret Royal Inspector and Joy. The former garnered under 1 percent, while the latter garnered 5 percent.
Then, midweek, we had Dal-li and Gamjatang end on its highest ratings, and new drama Melancholia premiere to 3.6 percent. Finally, in the weekend slot, new dramas The Red Sleeve Cuff and Now, We Are Breaking Up are in a close race. How many of these new shows are you watching? (And how many of them are sageuks?)
