It’s about time to get ready for a whole new round of shows. We got a few of those shows this week, with plenty more coming soon. Of course, that means that the shows we’ve been following (or avoiding like the plague) have to come to an end.
Spy drama My Secret Terrius ended its run on Thursday with 10.5 percent, while medical drama Heart Surgeons ended with 8.4 percent. These two shows performed well in this time slot, though the former brought in more viewers. The power of So Ji-sub, perhaps? Moving on, the fifth season of God’s Quiz premiered and even edged out Hundred Million Stars From the Sky with its second episode.
Over on weekends, romance-turned-melodrama The Third Charm ended with 2.9 percent. The show stayed around 3 percent all throughout, the highest rating having been much earlier on. Joining this time slot was Kim Ji-suk and Jeon So-min’s rom-com Top Star Yoo Baek, pulling in a decent 2.8 percent. If this show doesn’t float your boat, though, just you wait; we’ll be drowning in premieres in time.
