How are we already in March? It feels like just yesterday when we were watching Yeom Jung-ah practically sell her soul in the name of education or Hyun Bin sell his sanity in the name of VR. Now, we’re watching sageuks and thrillers and rom-coms (oh my!) that are well into their run.
At the beginning of the week, we had Item clearly struggling in ratings while everyone else sped ahead. It’s the fantasy drama The Light in Your Eyes that garnered the most surprise from me; the numbers just keep going up. For Wednesday and Thursday, What’s Wrong Mr. Poong-sang nestled into the top spot with An Empress’s Dignity officially gone.
Meanwhile, over in the weekend slot, My Only Ally continues to dominate with its 30 to 40 percent ratings. Shows like The Fiery Priest still prove that their strong contenders, but poor comedy Legal High rests in last place.
