Drama Ranking for the 4th Week of October
tvN’s Jirisan managed to rank first for the second week. Though many showed disappointment after the first broadcast, more showed excitement over what’s to come after episodes three and four were aired. Especially, the fact that the potato bomb episode is based on a true story gained favorable responses. SBS’s Lovers of the Red Sky finished in second place. More showed dissatisfaction over the latter half of the story, but still, many expressed satisfaction for the happy ending. Third place went to KBS’s The King’s Affection, though its popularity has continued to decrease for two weeks. The improbable development and the disappointing performances of some actors have been pointed out. tvN’s Yumi’s Cells finished in fifth place. A lot of people showed contentment for the high-quality production as good as the original webtoon, hence showing anticipations for season two. JTBC’s Inspector Koo, which made headlines as Lee Young Ae’s comeback project, started off at No. 7.
