Weekly TV Top 10: Can ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ Outshine ‘My Demon’s’ Popularity?

Drama Ranking for 3rd Week of December

SBS’s My Demon continues to hold the number one spot as the romance between Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung intensifies, garnering passionate responses. However, despite its buzz, the show has seen a decline in viewership ratings. Coupang Play’s Boyhood finished in second place at its conclusion. Lead actor Yim Si Wan drew attention in a behind-the-scenes video released by his agency, expressing hope for a season-based format. Netflix’s Gyeongseong Creature debuted in third place. Despite high expectations thanks to its stellar cast and substantial budget, the response post-release has been disappointing, with criticisms aimed at its lackluster story and outdated direction. In the cast rankings, Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung maintain the top two spots, with Han So Hee and Park Seo Joon newly entering the list.
