Drama viewership ratings for the week of Jan. 23-29, 2017
First things first: I’ve been getting the year wrong ever since the new year started. My bad. (But seriously, where did the time go? I’m still looking for it!) Now that we are firmly entrenched in the year of our lord 2017, we’ve got a whole slew of new dramas to go with it, and since this week saw the Lunar New Year, technically, it’s not so bad that I forgot it was 2017 up until now… right?
Defendant took the spot previously occupied by Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim, and seemed to take some of its high ratings too, since it started out with a hefty 14.5%, and nearly reached 15% with its second episode. That left poor Night Light to finish with a whimper, while Hwarang still remains steadily in the double digits. Introverted Boss could be considered underperforming by tvN’s usual standards, but at the time slot its airing during, we can’t be expecting blockbuster numbers. Still, I wonder if the 2% the show’s pulling in is making anyone sweat over at the network. Maybe, just maybe, it could be a cue for them to cut their episode lengths down by a hair.
The drama schedule has still been wonky due to all the previous pre-emptions, which meant that Legend of the Blue Sea had only its finale to air this week, which clocked a respectable 17.9%. Missing 9, which is admittedly a very different show, isn’t doing very well, considering that the wacky and new kid on the block, Chief Kim, logged in higher numbers. But both shows paled in comparison to the much hyped Saimdang, Light’s Diary, which aired a double header on Thursday to keep its airing schedule current, and pulled in very, very good numbers.
Because of the aforementioned Lunar New Year, a couple weekend shows like Our Gap-soon and Voice were pre-empted, and likewise, there’ll be no Introverted Boss next week. But there are still more premieres to come, so bring it on, dramaland!
