Weekly TV Top10: Mixed Reactions for Netflix’s ‘Hierarchy’ Debut

Drama Ranking for 1st Week of June

Questions arise about which drama will succeed the popularity of Queen of Tears and Lovely Runner. Despite The Atypical Family finishing at the top of the ratings, it fell short of expectations. Its follow-up, the comedy Miss Night and Day starring Jeong Eun Ji and Lee Jung Eun, is set for a global release on Netflix. SBS’s Connection secured the second spot, surpassing MBC’s Bitter Sweet Hell and continuing its upward trend in viewership. Although it didn’t make a strong initial impression, the actors’ stellar performances and captivating plot have drawn in viewers. tvN’s The Midnight Romance in Hagwon claimed the third position, with the romance between Jung Ryeo Won and Wi Ha Jun consistently resonating with female audiences. Netflix’s The 8 Show and Hierarchy ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. Hierarchy has sparked mixed reactions due to its provocative and uncomfortable themes. tvN’s The Player 2: Master of Swindlers debuted in sixth place, while JTBC’s Frankly Speaking concluded in seventh.
