Weekly TV Top10: ‘Lovely Runner’ and ‘The Atypical Family’ Take Leading Spots

Drama Ranking for 2nd Week of May

tvN’s Lovely Runner continues its reign, securing the top spot for the second consecutive week. The show has captivated audiences with Byeon Woo Seok’s unwavering love for Kim Hye Yoon’s character. The actors also draw significant attention; Byeon Woo Seok recently found himself in the midst of a surprise dating rumor, while Kim Hye Yoon’s agency faced criticism for allegedly insufficient promotional activities. JTBC’s The Atypical Family climbed to the second position, receiving praise for the chemistry between Jang Ki Yong and Chun Woo Hee. tvN’s The Midnight Romance in Hagwon debuted at third place, with notable buzz generated from the press conference featuring Jung Ryeo Won and Wi Ha Jun. Jung Ryeo Won’s portrayal of an academy instructor has earned her positive reviews. MBC’s Chief Detective 1958 slipped to fourth place due to underwhelming content that failed to maintain the initial buzz. JTBC’s Frankly Speaking dropped to fifth, with mixed reactions ranging from entertaining to immature. KBS’s Beauty and Mr. Romantic came in sixth, facing criticism for its outdated dialogues and settings. Two new series from Disney Plus and Netflix have made it into the rankings even before their premieres. Uncle Samsik, starring Song Kang Ho in his first series role, has garnered attention, while The 8 Show, marking Ryu Jun Yeol’s return amidst recent scandals, is also highly anticipated.
