Weekly TV Top10: Park Min Young’s Comeback Drama ‘Marry My Husband’ Debuts at No. 1

Drama Ranking for 1st Week of January

The new tvN series Marry My Husband has made a triumphant debut, clinching the top spot. The show, which had been a hot topic even before its airing due to Park Min Young’s notable weight loss, has been well-received for its brisk and engaging storyline. Among the standout performances, Lee Yi Kyung’s acting has drawn comparisons to Ahn Jae Hong’s character in Mask Girl, sparking further interest. SBS’s My Demon has secured the second spot. Despite consistent online buzz, the show is experiencing a decline in viewership ratings. JTBC’s Welcome to Samdalri kept its position in third place. MBC’s The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract ended its run in fourth place. Despite the release of its second part, Netflix’s Gyeongseong Creature has dropped to sixth place. Criticisms have surfaced regarding the awkwardness of Park Seo Jun and Han So Hee’s romance with the overall narrative and the jarring switch to a modern setting in the post-credits scene. TVING’s Death’s Game re-entered the rankings following the release of its second part, with many praising it as a well-made webtoon-based drama. KBS’s Love Song for Illusion, starring Park Ji Hoon, debuted at ninth place.
