We have a couple of new entries into the pack of currently airing shows, though for the most part we’re holding steady. On Mondays and Tuesdays, Witch’s Court ticked back upward—and Jung Ryeo-won is still acing it with this feisty character—and pulled a few percentage points away from its rival shows, Temperature of Love and 20th Century Boy and Girl, the latter of which dipped to a series low at 2.5% on Monday. It’s too bad, since 20th Century is a sweet romance, though I don’t necessarily think it’s an egregious wrong, because I do find that it lags in overall pace.
OCN debuted its romantic-comedy Meloholic, but ratings numbers are quite scarce so they didn’t make the chart. I did read that the high for this Monday-Tuesday OCN timeslot is under 1%, for what it’s worth. If Meloholic starts taking off, though I expect the media to start giving us more numbers. Ratings were better for tvN, whose Because This Life Is Our First reached a series high with Tuesday’s episode. Yay!
On Wednesdays and Thursdays, Hospital Ship vacated its slot and MBC didn’t premiere a new drama, so its competitors enjoyed bumps in ratings. Buam-dong Revenge Club enjoyed its highest number to date for Thursday’s Episode 10 at 6.1%.
And on weekends, MBC launched its new series Money Flower, which pulled in solid premiere numbers (10.3% and 12.7%). I still find this new trend of airing both episodes on Saturday only, or Sunday only, to be odd, but I suppose they’ve got their reasons.
