Weekly TV Top10: ‘My Liberation Notes’ Takes the Top Spot for Two Weeks in a Row

Drama Ranking for the 2nd Week of May

This week’s ranking is the same as last week’s from first to sixth place. Viewers’ reactions to JTBC’s My Liberation Note, which took the top spot, are getting hotter every week. And at the center of this popularity is the romance of Son Seok Koo and Kim Ji Won, who took the top two spots in the cast rankings. While their first kiss scene in the latest episode became a hot topic, they were seen breaking up, which led to a slew of responses hoping for their happy ending. Though the popularity for tvN’s Our Blues, which came in second, has continued to decrease for two weeks, Han Ji Min and Kim Woo Bin’s relationship has drawn out the excitement. KBS’s Bloody Heart, which ranked third, has a somewhat dark atmosphere but boasts a unique directing. The episode about Kim Hee Sun and Lee Soo Hyuk‘s past life as a couple in MBC’s Tomorrow drew keen attention, leading the drama to seventh place. SBS’s new drama Woori The Virgin debuted at No. 8. Viewers showed satisfaction with the dramatic plot and the swift development.
