The late November shows are starting to trickle in, y’all. First up, we had the second season of the well-received Chief of Staff. Back in June, this drama was pulling in 4-5 percent ratings, and it continues to do so with the premiere garnering 4.2 percent.
VIP and Vagabond took a backseat in Pre-emption Land, while Secret Boutique returned with not so stunning results. Crushing Secret Boutique and the rest of its competition was When the Camellia Blooms, hitting 20 percent with its 34th episode. And Camellia still has one week to go!
A lot of the weekend shows, such as My Country, Pegasus Market, and Melting Me Softly, didn’t perform as well this time around. But with more finales on the horizon, numbers are sure to jump, or maybe even shoot up.
