This week’s ratings chart will be looking a bit empty for two reasons. One, because this week was Korea’s three-day Thanksgiving holiday Chuseok, thus causing pre-emptions. And two, because the new dramas won’t be coming until next week. But for the rest of our dramas, the show must go on!
Numbers for Monday-Tuesday rom-com (and ratings underdog) Let Me Hear Your Song actually went up, with Tuesday’s episode reaching 3.7 percent. Over on cable, youth drama A Moment at Eighteen ended its run on a high note. It didn’t quite reach 4 percent, but at 3.9, it was the drama’s highest rating.
Not much to report for the Wednesday-Thursday lineup, but as you’ll see there, and with the weekend lineup, ratings went down for everything — even the popular Arthdal Chronicles. Sorry, dramaland, but it looks like folks can’t be tuning in during the holidays!
