Holy moly, you guys, this is our last ratings update of 2019! Can you believe it? Just next week, we’ll be diving into a new year and a new batch of dramas, and I cannot wait. Before we get too excited, though, we have to wrap up what’s left of this year.
The Monday-Tuesday slot has been pretty lucky the past few months, having some successful cable shows like currently airing Diary of a Prosecutor and Black Dog. Then, over on SBS, we had melodrama VIP, which was getting consistently high ratings. On Christmas Eve, VIP’s finale received its highest rating of 15.9 percent. Great run, for sure.
Despite it being Christmas and the holiday weekend, shows like 9.9 Billion Won Woman and Stove League still managed to pull in double digits. Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life was pre-empted both Saturday and Sunday, but the specials that aired managed to bring in double digits as well. Now I’m just lookin’ at Crash Landing on You to join in.
