Drama Ranking for the 3rd Week of September
MBC’s Big Mouth finished first, taking the top spot for the second time. The final episode set the best records, but viewers showed mixed reactions to the ending. The prevailing opinion is that the sudden deaths of Go Mi Ho (YoonA) and Choi Do Ha (Kim Ju Hun) were not convincing enough. tvN’s Little Women came in second. While the captivating plot, director’s prowess, and actors’ passionate performances continue to receive favorable reviews, writer Jung Seo Kyung and art director Ryu Sung Hee appeared in episode 6 through a photo, becoming a hot topic. The cooperation of Oh In Ju (Kim Go Eun) and Choi Do Il (Wi Ha Jun) slowly formed a romantic vibe, capturing viewers’ attention. KBS’s The Law Cafe landed at No. 3. Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young‘s chemistry and the law-related episodes that we just might see in our daily lives are garnering positive responses. KBS’s It’s Beautiful Now, tvN’s Adamas, JTBC’s The Good Detective 2, and SBS’s Today’s Webtoon each ended in fifth, sixth, eighth, and tenth place. tvN’s new dramas Blind and Mental Coach Jegal debuted at No.7 and No. 9. Attention focuses on whether Blind can break the slump of tvN’s Friday-Saturday series, and Mental Coach Jegal is getting praised as a pleasant sports drama.
