Do You Like Brahms?, which ended with a happy ending, ended its journey at No. 1. The drama drew positive responses from viewers throughout the show with its rare classic sensibility. Park Eun Bin and Kim Min Jae, who delicately portrayed wavering youth’s dream and love, were praised for their solid performance. On the other hand, Alice, which ended last weekend, failed to live up to the initial response and finished seventh. Except for the fact that MBC’s new drama The Spies Who Loved Me made it into the chart, the popularity chart remained pretty much the same.
