After some technical difficulties over at Nielsen Korea, we’re now back on track with ratings. (Hurrah!) So let’s dive in and see where our shows stand. The Monday-Tuesday slot is looking like a tight race, with newcomer Special Labor Inspector Jo already catching up to Haechi and My Fellow Citizens.
Meanwhile, for the Wednesday-Thursday slot, ratings aren’t as evenly distributed. Doctor Prisoner continues hogging all the numbers while underdogs Big Issue and The Banker linger around 2 to 4 percent. As for the weekend, family drama Mother of Mine and comedy The Fiery Priest take all the 20 percent ratings. The latter finished its 40-episode run Saturday, garnering its highest rating at 22.0 percent.
