Top Drama Viewership Ratings: May 11-17, 2020

A lot of dramas are still struggling, and we may have to get used to it — it’s slowly turning into the norm. Ratings for the Monday-Tuesday shows went down, for the Wednesday-Thursday shows went down… And for The King? Yeah, those also went down, from an 8.1 percent last week to 6.3 and 7.8 percent this week.

Even on dramaland’s worst days, there are, of course, a few bright spots. Jang Nara’s latest drama Oh My Baby dropped on tvN Wednesday with 2.0 percent and later increased to 3.0 percent. Hospital Playlist’s numbers went up, ever so slightly, still resting at a comfortable 12 percent. The mellow medical drama only has a few weeks until its finale, so I hope it receives a little more love before it has to go.

It’s no surprise that A Couple’s World came in and once again broke records. The drama aired its finale Saturday and soared to 28.4 percent. Unless we get another A Couple’s World or SKY Castle anytime soon, this is going to be an impossible number to beat. To close, dramas Find Me in Your Memory and Rugal also aired their finales, and though they didn’t exactly end on a high note, it could be worse.
