Weekly TV Top10: ‘Love Next Door’ Hits No. 1 for the First Time

Drama Ranking for 1st Week of September

tvN’s Love Next Door has climbed to the top, reaching the No. 1 spot in its fourth week of airing. While viewers are loving the on-screen chemistry between leads Jung So Min and Jung Hae In, the show has received criticism for certain aspects of its plot. In particular, a scene where Jung Hae In follows Jung So Min through a dark alley and the revelation of Jung So Min’s stomach cancer have sparked dissatisfaction among fans. SBS’s Good Partner slipped to second place, with Kwak Si Yang delivering a chilling performance as a client with a dual personality, earning him considerable attention.

tvN’s No Gain No Love took third place this week, with viewers praising Shin Mina’s seasoned acting and her palpable chemistry with co-star Kim Young Dae. MBC’s thriller Black Out climbed to fourth place, maintaining its momentum with a gripping plot that keeps audiences on edge despite its dark genre. JTBC’s Romance in the House landed in fifth place but is struggling to maintain the initial buzz it garnered in its early episodes. ENA’s Your Honor dropped to seventh place, losing steam after No Gain No Love began airing.
