A few shows just wrapped up, which means we’ve got a few new shows to look forward to in the coming weeks. The Wednesday-Thursday tvN series Buam-dong Revenge Club capped off its well-received run with a high of 6.3% for its finale episode, while Go Back Spouses also ended with a series high on Saturday with a 7.3% rating. Both dramas were 12-episode series, a length I find underutilized in dramaland. I welcome short and sweet!
While You Were Sleeping also wrapped up its run on SBS, and while it didn’t go out on a series high (that would be 10.0% for Episode 14), it came pretty close (9.7%) and ended respectably in first place. (It didn’t hurt that MBC is still airing reruns in their Wednesday-Thursday slot and won’t premiere I’m Not a Robot for a few more weeks yet.)
The rest of the shows held pretty steady in their ranks/slots, and I expect those trends to remain in place for the rest of their runs. We’ll see how the upcoming crop shakes things up!
