Drama Ranking for 3rd Week of February
tvN’s Crash Course in Romance kept its place on the top spot for six weeks in a row. The latest episode revealed that Shin Jae Ha was the “Iron Bead Killer,” heating up online. In the same episode, Roh Yoon Seo and Lee Chae Min were caught up in a test-leak scandal, while Lee Bong Ryeon and Oh Eui Sik’s romance blossomed. However, some expressed disappointment in the dragging plot and changes in the characters’ personalities. SBS’s Taxi Driver 2 debuted at No. 2. Many welcomed the return of the show, and Shim So Young, who appeared as the villain Lim in the previous season, re-appeared in the new season, becoming a hot topic. JTBC’s Agency came in third. tvN’s new series web novel-based The Heavenly Idol debuted in sixth place. While some showed satisfaction with the overall quality, some complained about the casting and the poor adaptation. tvN’s Our Blooming Youth dropped to 10th place in just two weeks, with controversy over the female lead, Jeon So Nee, and the confusing narrative.
