Last week’s chart was looking pretty small, as we’ve reached a period awaiting several premieres. This week, at least, we have a few new dramas to add to the mix. There’s one I’m especially curious about for its killer director/writer duo and cast.
Up first, we had Monday-Tuesday shows VIP and Chief of Staff 2 beat their respective personal records. The latter’s finale even received the highest rating it’s ever gotten — for both seasons. Catch the Ghost‘s finale didn’t quite do as well, but 2.7 percent for a cable drama ain’t half bad.
Other than 9.9 Billion Won Woman slipping into double digits (woohoo!), there wasn’t much change for the midweek slot. Then on Friday, we had the premieres of sports drama Stove League, which hit 5.5 percent, and the highly anticipated Crash Landing on You, which hit 6.1 percent.
