The Dramas on 3rd Week of November 2020

Although the popularity for Start-Up has decreased from the previous week, it still managed to land at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks. However, many still complained about the writer’s ability as the highly improbable story continued, and more agreed that the drama is not making good use out of attractive characters.

JTBC’s new drama Live On debuted at No. 5. Attention was drawn to the fact that rookie actors like Hwang Minhyun and Choi Byung Chan starred in the drama, and many left cheering comments.
