Happy Chuseok Week! It’s the one week out of the year where we get a mandatory drama break, meant for us to rediscover ourselves and our purpose on this giant ball we call a home. Or, it’s a week for us to watch and re-watch the oldies that we love so much—did anyone get any good viewing in?
There weren’t many options for the general viewing public, however, so ratings this week can be considered a bit of a wash. Some shows, like Lingerie Girls’ Generation and Age of Youth 2, ended to moderate numbers, while the rest of the shows waiting to start are just around the bend. The only constants were the weekend shows, and it’s no news that My Golden Life is killing it and will continue to do so until it’s over. Tune in next week for a more exciting post!
