Top Drama Viewership Ratings: Aug. 17-23, 2020

I say this at the end of every month, but seriously, where has the time gone? One day, it’s the start of the summer, and the next thing I know, we’re nearing fall. The same goes for our recent dramas — it feels like they just started and already they’re wrapping up.

The first drama that came to a close was Memorials, landing with pretty low numbers. To be fair, the drama’s timeslot is probably the worst in the week. Ending soon are the dramas Men Are Men, The Good Detective, Was it Love, and Graceful Friends. The majority of these, unfortunately, seem to be crawling to the finish line.

Then, there was the addition of romantic melo When I Was the Most Beautiful. The numbers came in even lower than its predecessor, but again, this is the worst timeslot to be in. Perhaps the drama needs more time? Or perhaps things will look brighter with the next batch of dramas? That’s the thing about ratings — we never know.
