Top Drama Viewership Ratings Sep. 17-23, 2018: Find out the Most-Watched Shows

Fall is finally here, folks! Meaning it’s time to say goodbye to the summer shows and gear up for the next season. And with this week’s gloomy numbers, it looks like viewers are already craving something new. For Mondays and Tuesdays, front-runner Thirty But Seventeen ended with a series high of 11.0 percent, while most of its competition stayed below the 3.0 percent mark.

Over on Wednesdays and Thursdays, time travel romance Familiar Wife kept its first place standing, though it never did make it into double digits. Nevertheless, I’d say it was a successful drama comeback for Han Ji-min, as well as her onscreen hubby Ji Sung.

Mr. Sunshine was pre-empted, broadcasting a special episode instead. It will air its finale next week, which is sure to end with yet another bang (pun fully intended). Meanwhile, UEE’s weekend drama My Only Ally easily slipped into 20 percent territory after a strong premiere last week. Only time will tell how the other newcomers will fare.
