Drama Ranking for 5th Week of May
tvN’s Lovely Runner ended on a high note, achieving its highest ratings and securing the top spot in the weekly TV rankings. Fans were thrilled with the happy ending for Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon‘s characters, and the finale received rave reviews for its perfect conclusion. A highlight of the finale’s screening event was Byeon Woo Seok’s emotional moment, which became a talking point among viewers. This week’s rankings remained mostly unchanged from last week, except for the debut of new releases on TVING. Except for Lovely Runner, the overall buzz around other shows saw a slight decline. Disney Plus’s Uncle Samsik fell out of the rankings entirely, a disappointing result considering the anticipation surrounding Song Kang Ho’s first-ever series. The Friday-Saturday drama battle between SBS and MBC is tilting increasingly in favor of SBS. Connection, boosted by Ji Sung’s stellar performance, continues to see a steady rise in viewership. In contrast, Bitter Sweet Hell on MBC, while well-crafted, has received feedback for lacking engagement. ENA’s Crash climbed to seventh place, sharing the spotlight with Lovely Runner in terms of viewer interest. The show’s unique premise of a traffic accident investigation team has been well-received, maintaining positive reactions. TVING’s Dreaming of a Freaking Fairy Tale debuted at ninth place, though its humor has garnered mixed reviews.
