There was a pivotal and interesting shift this week, with My Sassy Girl narrowly overtaking Fight My Way for the top spot. The fusion sageuk has been steadily rising in numbers over the past couple weeks, but it’s a close race for sure—Lookout isn’t too far behind, but it seems unlikely that it’ll see first place. But who knows, really? Anything is possible these days.
Not much has changed over in the middle of the week, with Ruler—Master of the Mask continuing to take first place, though it’s just sustaining the same viewership it’s had. Suspicious Partner maintained second place at just under 10%, while poor Seven Day Queen seems to just be holding on at under 7%.
Woman of Dignity aired in the slot previously held by Man to Man to a very moderate 2.0%, while KBS’s The Best Hit fared only slightly better on Friday. It did see a considerable jump to 5.5% on Saturday, so where it’ll end up is anyone’s guess. Otherwise, Duel isn’t making waves on the weekend, but Forest of Secrets saw a rise to 4.1% last week and maintained it for its Saturday episode. All are good shows, so here’s hoping for the best!
