Weekly TV Top 10: ‘Connection’ Reigns Supreme for 4 Weeks

Drama Ranking for 1st Week of July

SBS’s Connection concluded its run by securing the top spot for four consecutive weeks. The show maintained its dominance in the VON (Voice of Netizen) category, indicating strong audience engagement and storyline interest. In the cast rankings, Um Tae Goo from JTBC’s My Sweet Mobster claimed the number one position. Despite its modest viewership ratings, My Sweet Mobster has cultivated a dedicated fanbase, generating significant buzz. The casting of Um Tae Goo in a romantic comedy role received positive feedback. JTBC’s Miss Night and Day showed increased popularity but settled for third place behind My Sweet Mobster. Netflix’s The Whirlwind held steady at fourth place, maintaining consistent buzz from the previous week. New entries in the top 10 include tvN’s The Auditors at fifth and Disney Plus’s Red Swan at sixth. While The Auditors faced criticism for Lee Jung Ha’s acting, overall reactions to the drama were neutral. Red Swan was panned as outdated, with viewers questioning Disney Plus’s decision to release it as an original series.
