Time for the last ratings check-in of May! You know the drill — we’ve got new shows and new ratings, old shows and meh ratings, the whole shebang. First up, we had the premieres of Will You Have Dinner With Me and Sweet Munchies, both of which happen to be food themed dramas. Pretty good numbers here, considering the history of this timeslot.
Midweek, healing drama Soul Repairer took yet another hit, reaching an all time low of 1.8 percent. Meanwhile, its competition, Old School Intern and Mystic Pop-up Bar made themselves comfortable with their respective audiences. Then, on the opposite end, Hospital Playlist finished its run with an all time high of 14.1 percent.
Finally… The King. Oh, The King, what a journey it’s been. The drama postponed episode 13 to Saturday, moving 14 to next week. It might’ve been to the drama’s detriment, because 13’s numbers dropped to 7.7 percent. This makes me a bit sad, actually, since the episodes are getting better and better for me. Ah well, it is what it is, right?
