Weekly TV Top10: ‘Good Partner’ Tops the List Ahead of Pre-emptions

Drama Ranking for 3rd Week of July

SBS’s Good Partner has surged in popularity, reaching the top of the weekly TV rankings just two weeks into its run. The drama, which marks Jang Na Ra’s return to SBS after five years, has received widespread praise. Jang Na Ra herself jumped to the second spot in the cast rankings. However, some viewers have expressed dissatisfaction with the storyline, particularly criticizing the sudden romantic development between Nam Ji Hyun and P.O. Good Partner will be pre-empted for three weeks due to the Paris Olympics. Netflix’s Sweet Home, which recently released its final season, debuted at number two. Unfortunately, it has faced harsh criticism, with some saying the plot felt disjointed and lacked coherence as it tried to hurriedly wrap up the storylines introduced in the second season. Reviewers also felt the talented cast was underutilized. JTBC’s My Sweet Mobster dropped to third place, although Um Tae Goo maintained his position as the top performer. JTBC’s Miss Night and Day secured fourth place and also ranked in Netflix’s Global TOP 10 TV (Non-English) for the fourth consecutive week.
