Drama Ranking for the 2nd Week of October
SBS’s One Dollar Lawyer won its first 1st place four weeks after its premiere. The tragic past of Chun Ji Hoon, who lost both his father and his fiance, was revealed, drawing keen attention. As proof of viewers’ interest in the show, Namkoong Min landed first place in the cast ranking, and Lee Chung Ah debuted at No. 3 despite her cameo appearance. tvN’s Under the Queen’s Umbrella debuted in second place. While Kim Hye Soo showcased impressive performances, just as expected, the actors playing the princes were pointed out for their not-so-sufficient acting prowess that hindered viewers’ immersion. SBS’s Cheer Up rose one step to No. 3. Alongside the actors’ solid performances, the joint cheering in episode 4 became a hot topic. MBC’s The Golden Spoon fell a notch to fourth place. The broadened scale and complicated relationships of the characters in contrast to the original webtoon lead to viewers’ frustration. tvN’s Love in Contract and KBS’s Bad Prosecutor ranked 5th and 6th, switching places in the rankings compared to last week’s.
