Drama Ranking for 1st Week of March
tvN’s Crash Course in Romance ended in the first place, recording the highest ratings. Though criticism poured out over the death of the Iron Bead Killer and Lee Bong Ryeon and Oh Eui Sik’s romance, many showed satisfaction in Jeon Do Yeon and Jung Kyung Ho’s happy ending. Roh Yoon Seo, who made back-to-back hits with Our Blues, 20th Century Girl, and Crash Course in Romance, rose to the top in the cast rankings, drawing attention. SBS’s Taxi Driver 2 kept its place at No. 2. Lee Je Hoon and Pyo Ye Jin were seen going undercover as newlyweds, becoming a hot topic, while the sudden cancellation of an episode drew disappointment. JTBC’s new series Divorce Attorney Shin debuted in fourth place. Cho Seung Woo’s singing and his deft acting prowess gained praises, however, many are pointing out the awkward presence of Han Hye Jin, who’s made her long-awaited comeback to the small screen. tvN’s The Heavenly Idol and Our Blooming Youth and MBC’s Kokdu: Season of Deity all climbed up a rank, but their popularity hasn’t increased at all. Likewise, KBS’s Brain Works ended quietly in ninth place.
