Weekly TV Top10: ‘Revenant’ Surpasses ‘King the Land,’ Ascending to Top Spot

Drama Ranking for the 3rd Week of July

SBS’s Revenant has dethroned JTBC’s King the Land, taking the top spot in the weekly TV ratings. Kim Eun Hee’s compelling script and Kim Tae Ri’s captivating performance are believed to be the driving forces behind its success. King the Land dropped to second place, with its viewership ratings stumbling. Despite an ensemble cast, the show struggles to sustain its momentum due to its cliche progression. Nevertheless, it managed to secure the number one spot in both English and non-English categories on Netflix. In third and fourth place are tvN’s See You in My 19th Life and Delightfully Deceitful, both of which concluded recently. See You in My 19th Life, despite leveraging the star power of Shin Hye Sun, received lackluster ratings in contrast to expectations. On the other hand, Delightfully Deceitful was lauded for showcasing the versatile acting abilities of Chun Woo Hee. Netflix’s D.P. is set to return for a second season. tvN’s The Uncanny Counter 2 has already entered the top rankings even before its premiere, proving its high anticipation among viewers. ENA’s new series Not Others debuted at No. 9.
