Drama Ranking for 3rd Week of January
tvN’s Crash Course in Romance came in first for three consecutive weeks with a steady increase in popularity. Jung Kyung Ho and Jeon Do Yeon slowly fell for each other, and Roh Yoon Seo-Lee Chae Min-Lee Min Jae’s love triangle played a big part in increasing the viewer ratings. JTBC’s The Interest of Love and Agency kept their spots in second and third places. The Interest of Love is on the rise as the love cube of Yoo Yeon Seok, Moon Ga Young, Keum Sae Rok, and Jung Ga Ram heads for catastrophe. Despite the complicated situation, attention is focused on whether Yoo Yeon Seok and Moon Ga Young will have a different ending from the original novel. Agency showcased characters preparing for a presentation to win a contract, receiving favorable reviews from viewers. MBC’s Kokdu: Season of Deity, Kim Jung Hyun’s comeback project, debuted in sixth place. It kicked off with sluggish ratings as other weekend dramas have already secured a fixed audience.
