Drama Ratings for Sep 20-26, 2021
Korea celebrated Chuseok this week, naturally affecting some of our shows. Police University and Lovers of the Red Sky pushed their episodes, while High Class, which did air, saw a decline. The weekend went on as usual, bringing in high numbers. Most notably, One the Woman jumped to 12.7 percent. We also had a few […]
