With no new premieres this week, things have finally begun to settle down, though that MBC strike has thrown a wrench into some of the programming. At least it didn’t affect anything but the weekend dramas this week, but poor 20th Century Boy and Girl never stood a chance with the kind of airtime it’s been given. Ah well, fight the power!
While Witch’s Court maintained its dominance over the Monday-Tuesday slot with a high of 11.0%, the middle of the week is looking much more balanced all around, with While You Were Sleeping narrowly edging out the competition with an 8.9%. Following close behind was Hospital Ship at 8.4%, then Mad Dog at 5.7%.
Over on the weekend, Go Back Spouses isn’t necessarily losing viewership, but it’s not gaining much either. Meanwhile, The Package isn’t faring too well, and other cable shows like Black and Revolutionary Love continue to perform decently, but they aren’t bringing in winning numbers either. Those numbers seem to all be going to My Golden Life, which again surpassed that coveted 30.2% mark. How’s everyone enjoying that show, out of curiosity? Is this going to be (or is it already) Park Shi-hoo’s actual comeback?
