It’s been a very eventful week, with plenty of premieres and finales keeping folks glued to their screens. The Monday-Tuesday slot said goodbye to dramas My Fellow Citizens and Special Labor Inspector Jo and said hello to newcomer The Wind Blows. And listed at the bottom, the poor mystery romance Abyss went down to 2.3 percent, its lowest rating yet.
Thursday saw the end of rom-com Her Private Life, which never strayed far from 2.5 percent. The newcomers from last week, Angel’s Last Mission and One Spring Night, beat out Her Private Life‘s finale with 8.4 percent and 6.4 percent respectively. However, of all the things this week, my eyes gravitated towards the much anticipated Arthdal Chronicles. First episode and it’s already got a whopping 6.7 percent. And for a cable show, that’s pretty damn good.
