Weekly TV Top10: ‘Crash Course in Romance’ Ranks Top Despite Many Complaints

Drama Ranking for 4th Week of February

There’s no big change in this week’s ranking. tvN’s Crash Course in Romance continues to take the top spot. However, the thriller story takes precedence over Jung Kyung Ho and Jeon Do Yeon’s romance in the plot, disappointing the drama fans. SBS’s Taxi Driver 2 kept its place in second place. Crash Course in Romance actor Shin Jae Ha has newly joined season 2 of Taxi Driver, and once again, his character seemed suspicious. JTBC’s Agency and TV CHOSUN’s Red Balloon ended in 3rd and 4th places. The drama ended with Lee Bo Young finding her own company, receiving mixed reviews. And as for Red Balloon, criticisms poured out over Seo Ji Hye and Hong Soo Hyun’s reconciliation at the end, saying that it glorified having an affair.
