Weekly TV Top 10: ‘Crash Course in Romance’ and ‘The Interest of Love’ Rank 1st and 2nd

Drama Ranking for 2nd Week of February

tvN’s Crash Course in Romance took first place for five consecutive weeks. Jung Kyung Ho and Jeon Do Yeon’s kiss scene in episode 10 became a hot topic and their date scene teased in the trailer for the coming episode is raising high expectations. However, some have pointed out that the students refusing to take the A-list instructor’s class just because of his scandal is unrealistic. JTBC’s The Interest of Love ended in second place. Many commented that the plot was dragging until the very end and showed disappointment in Yoo Yeon Seok and Moon Ga Young’s open ending. TV CHOSUN’s Red Balloon continued its upward trend to third place, and JTBC’s Agency dropped to fourth place. tvN’s new drama Our Blooming Youth debuted at No. 5. Park Hyung Sik’s comeback received much attention, but the response toward the show is still lukewarm. Some have expressed disappointment in the actors’ performance and the directing.
