It’s time to say goodbye to some great dramas this week and get ready to part with even more next week. *sniffles* Where has the time gone?
Cable networks continue to dominate in the ratings game, with The Crowned Clown getting awfully close to 10 percent after only two weeks of airing. The sweet little rom-com Clean With Passion For Now, however, had its lowest ratings thus far after returning from a two-week break.
The first drama to go was thriller Red Moon, Blue Sun, and while it didn’t have the best ratings, I did see some rave reviews from Beanies’ comments. Next, it was game over for the crazy-addictive Memories of the Alhambra, as well as for its competitor Priest. SKY Castle will be ending soon too, and at 22.3 percent, it shows no sign of slowing down.
