Just like that, October and the spooky season have left us, taking some dramas with them. Zombie Detective was a short but sweet treat, finishing off its 12-episode run with 2.6 percent. In the same timeslot, Record of Youth finished its 16-episode run with its highest rating of 8.7 percent. Very close to 10 percent there, but the drama couldn’t quite make it.
Before October fully came to an end, we also had a few premieres. Suspense drama Penthouse came in with 9.2 percent and jumped to 10.1 percent the next day. And I’m getting SKY Castle vibes in both the drama and its high numbers. Fly Dragon came in pretty strong as well, following Alice, while Kairos landed around 3 percent. Interesting group of shows we have here, that’s for sure.
