Nothing too exciting to report this week, as our shows have settled into their timeslots, but still plenty to talk about. On Monday, fusion sageuk Tale of Nokdu was postponed due to a baseball game. No matter — the drama was able to maintain its decent viewership ratings when it returned on Tuesday. We also had the finale of The Great Show on Tuesday, which had a great landing of 3.2 percent.
In the latter half of the week, ratings for popular dramas When the Camellia Blooms and My Country: The New Age continued to inch upwards, while for most other dramas, they continued to inch downwards. Vagabond, The Lies Within, and Melting Me Softly, in particular, lost several viewers, with The Lies Within even joining Running Investigators in the Under 1 Percent Club. Oh well, better luck next week.
