Park Eun Bin ranked second in the cast ranking, following My Dearest star Namkoong Min. MBC’s My Dearest Part 2 maintained its second position despite missing an episode. Talks of the drama’s extension are making the rounds, but nothing has been confirmed yet. JTBC’s Strong Woman Nam-soon held steadfast in third place, with Kim Jung Eun’s comedic portrayal as Lee Yoo Mi’s mother earning high praise. Netflix’s Doona! has slipped to fourth place as it enters its third week since release. Netflix’s new series Daily Dose of Sunshine debuted at eighth place. While the drama is receiving positive reviews for its balanced and comforting portrayal of mental illness, it falls short in generating buzz.

ENA’s Moon in the Day, starring Pyo Ye Jin and Kim Young Dae, debuted at ninth place amidst critiques of Kim Young Dae’s acting.
