Weekly TV Top 10: ‘The Golden Spoon’ and ‘One Dollar Lawyer’ End Amid Controversies

Drama Ranking for the 2nd Week of November

tvN’s Under the Queen’s Umbrella took first place for four weeks in a row. Hwaryeong’s excellent tactics that turn crisis into an opportunity were unleashed with Kim Hye Soo‘s charisma, drawing enthusiastic responses from viewers. Additionally, the show ranked third in Netflix’s non-English TV show rankings in the second week of November (7th to 13th). MBC’s The Golden Spoon ended strongly, coming in second. However, controversy arose as suspicions were raised that the crew focused more on the supporting actor Son Woo Hyun rather than the lead actor Yook Sungjae in its behind-the-scenes videos. SBS’s Cheer Up canceled Monday’s episode due to a baseball league broadcast, but it still managed to take third place. Episode 9’s epilogue showed Park Jung Woo (Bae In Hyuk) confessing his feelings to Do Hae Yi (Han Ji Hyeon) while she was asleep, gaining hot responses from the drama fans. SBS’s One Dollar Lawyer ended at No. 4, letting down viewers with its disappointing plot. Rumors of a feud between the production company and the writer were reported, but the actors including Namkoong Min have done their best until the end. Meanwhile, One Dollar Lawyer‘s follow-up series The First Responders debuted at No. 8, but viewers have pointed out the many holes in the drama’s overall setting. Bad Prosecutor, aka Do Kyung Soo‘s comeback project, and Park Min Young‘s Love in Contract finished in 5th and 7th place, respectively. tvN’s new drama Behind Every Star debuted at No. 6. The episodes starring Cho Yeo Jeong, Jin Sun Kyu, and Lee Hee Jun received favorable responses.
