Drama Viewership Ratings: Dec. 11-17, 2017

Is it me, or does it seem like there are a lot of dramas airing at the moment? I’m not keeping up with a lot of them, but it sure seems like there are a lot of timeslots.

On Mondays and Tuesdays, the ratings race is holding steady among the three broadcast shows; it seems they’re trading a few points back and forth between them, so it’s yet to be seen if one will pull ahead of the rest, like we’re seeing on Wednesdays and Thursdays. There, we have Black Knight picking up steam and pulling alongside Nothing to Lose, which has been the leader till now. I expect they’ll both retain their audiences, since they’re quite different stories, one being a moody fantasy melodrama and the other a light legal procedural with romance elements. It’s too bad for the fantasy rom-com I’m Not a Robot, although those sad numbers don’t make me love the show any less.

On weekends, My Golden Life finally broke that elusive 40% ratings barrier last weekend, so it’ll be interesting to see if it can continue to pull in those heavy numbers (it’s usually Sunday’s rating that ticks up). It’s not that crazy for a weekend family drama to hit 30% these days, but 40% is pretty impressive. And with nearly twenty episodes still left to go, it has a long time in which to build more momentum.
