The KBS Monday-Tuesday drama The Matchmakers witnessed a slight drop in viewership, according to Nielsen Korea.
The second episode aired on the 1st, recorded a 3.6% national rating, a 0.9% drop compared to the 4.5% from its premiere episode.
In this episode, the focus was on the three daughters of Maeng—Maeng Sam Sun (Jung Bo Min), Maeng Ha Na (Jung Shin Hye), and Maeng Du Ri (Park Ji Won), known as the “old maid sisters.” Shim Jeong Woo (Rowoon) has been given the ominous task of marrying off the trio within two months. So he proposes to mediate a match for them through Jeong Soon Deok (Cho Yi Hyun), who initially refuses but intriguingly accepts his offer by the end of the episode.

Jung-Woo and Soon-Deok have some good moments today. I’m enjoying #Rowoon’s facial expressions. Of the three Maeng sisters, the second one will be my favorite. The actress playing her has good chemistry with #SonSangYeon. #TheMatchmakersEp2 #TheMatchmakers #ChoYiHyun pic.twitter.com/Lt1cmWnWyk
