We have three new dramas this week, with even more on the way (yeah, I’m freaking out, too). Nothing new for the Monday-Tuesday timeslot just yet, as we first had to say goodbye to Let Me Hear Your Song and Welcome 2 Life. They finished with 4 percent and 6 percent respectively, neither being their highest ratings. To be fair, this particular timeslot doesn’t get the most viewers.
On Wednesday, noona romance When the Camellia Blooms hit double digits, in its second week no less. Joining this timeslot was office drama Miss Lee, which premiered with 2.6 percent and later jumped to 3.2 percent. The drama is already performing better than its predecessor When the Devil Calls Your Name.
Finally, over the weekend, we said goodbye to the three heroines (and drama fanatics) of Be Melodramatic. We then welcomed Mother of Mine‘s successor Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life and Arthdal Chronicles’ successor Melting Me Softly. The latter being Ji Chang-wook’s first drama post-army, I was happy to see it get decent numbers.
