Well, I’d say that the beginning of November is showing some promise. Romance dramas Fox Bride Star and Beauty Inside are still doing pretty well for themselves, their numbers rounding out near the top. The newest tvN drama Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter premiered with 5.6 percent, though the second episode went down to 5.0 percent. We’ll see what viewers really think of this drama’s fairy tale come to life in the coming weeks, I’m sure.
The fantasy office drama Happy to Die premiered Wednesday, and it looks like this particular time slot can’t catch a break. Though the first episode brought in more viewers than its predecessor’s finale, the next few episodes then lost some viewers. Weekend drama Player ended its 14 episode run, having decent numbers all the way through. The Third Charm will soon follow suit and will air its finale next week.
