Drama viewership ratings for the week of December 11-17, 2023
by DB Staff
We say goodbye to low-performer Moon in the Day this week, and as usual, the weekend is where all the high-flying numbers are.
Maestra is on a quick incline in its second week, while The Goryeo-Khitan War continues to perform along with Welcome to Samdal-ri, which is now over 8%. While The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract also seems pretty comfortable around the 8% mark, My Demon can’t seem to break out of its 4% threshold.

Khitan War is doing rather well despite the lack of trending stars and hype in social media. As for Park's Marriage, I am glad that it still maintained the momentum. Getting an 8-10% rating is a huge achievement for MBC these days.

In the most recent episode they were even showing maps- it was too confusing before.

It's my favorite drama at the time, surprisingly. Holds my attention with the twists and turns.

I agree. Although I know what will happen in the long run, the twists and turns are riveting.

I am also happy to see a rise in the rating for Samdalri and Maestra, as I had missed the main actors.

Let's go for double digits next week Park's Marriage!!! ✨
I'm happy for Sam Dal but a little sad for TMTYLMe. Or maybe those ratings are good for a ENA drama? But at least 2.0% would be nice...

Looks like Park's Marriage Contract and My Demon are settling on their share of the ratings. It can mean they have an established audience that are loyal to each since it airs at the same time. Hope they can retain the ratings or even do better next week.

I wonder if I'm just numb to shows nowadays as well as my typical confusion about the appeal & ratings of dramas because I'm often just like "I do not get it".
Nothing against the actors or productions and I do wish everyone could be successful or have successful projects (hmm, maybe everyone is a bit much haha) but yeah, sometimes seeing these numbers I'm like what are these people seeing that I'm not seeing and sometimes it's like why aren't these people seeing what I'm seeing?
Of this list, I've seen 2 of the shows and I'm like hmmm, kudos to them but also what is drawing people in? Are they capturing the escapism people look for? Is it the chemistry of the leads and/or the cast.
I'm also wondering why Devil's Game isn't listed. Is it because of the way it was released?

Death Game is a web series, which is released on TVING, a streaming platform in Korea, and also on Amazon Prime Video. It is not listed because it is neither aired on public television channels (KBS, MBC and SBS) nor paid-to-aired/cable channels like TvN, JTBC and ENA.

It’s not just you, I also so often think that (including this week)! I tell myself, well you’re not Korean so it’s probably to be expected that I don’t get it. But still, 🤨

It would be great if The Matchmakers could make it to 5% for the next two weeks.
I wonder if Welcome to Samdalri and The story of Park’s Marriage contract will both make it to 10% by the end of the season.

I am often bemused by ratings, but Moon in the Day: that makes sense. Even without competition, a turkey is a turkey.

Surprising how well welcome to samldalri is doing. I think LYOL deserves its numbers, that’s how bitter I am.

I am surprised that Park's marriage contract is doing as well as it is. I like the drama, but I don't think it is worthy of 8%, especially compared to My Demon, which is airing at the same time. I don't know how to explain what's not working for me with Park's marriage, because I love the leads, the chemistry, the story is overall Ok, I feel like it is a little disjointed, for lack of better word.
I don't really understand the emotional growth of the leads and how this deep connection formed. I don't understand the grandpa and his motives. I also feel that they adapted far too quickly to New Joseon. All these make it feel like it wasn't well thought out or how do I say, there is a wave length mismatch between the drama and the viewers. So yes, I am very surprised that it's doing as well as it is, though I enjoy watching it while waiting for new episodes of The Matchmakers and My Demon

I feel the same way. The leads are cute and their interactions are sweet but I am not compelled by the OTP. It is tropey, yeah, but I find the way it’s inserted a bit random. The Jeju trip reminded me of KTL 🥲

PARK'S MARRIAGE CONTRACT, which is, as you said, a decent and reasonably entertaining show, may simply be suffering from the fact that it is airing at the same time as MY DEMON.

Fortunately, for this show, it followed "My Dearest," which broke the curse for MBC. Switching off your brain is the way to go.

Agree! Expected PMC and My Demon to at least be roughly the same. Boy, what do I know? 🤷♀️

Exactly, I am not a fan girl specifically of any of these actors. So I am not biased. But I find it very surprising that My Demon has half the viewership. It isn't an extraordinary drama, but I feel the writing is way more cohesive compared to PMC. I just finished ep 8 of PMC and it was more random than ever.

GORYEO-KHITAN WAR is doing well.
Our Weekender has turned a corner dramatically but still has low ratings for a weekender.

The GKW ratings receded a bit this week from the previous week. Up until then the ratings had been a steady march upward.
History note. I had hoped GKW would reach 11% for episode 11 which would have matched KING OF TEARS (2021/22) 11% for episode 11.
It was after episode 12 and the animal abuse fiasco that KOT went into hibernation for a month and returned with 8% for episode 13. It eventually broke 11% again at episode 26.

I remember that moment of stupidity in KOT- it is the one true blemish on a show that I still otherwise think very highly of.

I know that Tell Me That You Love Me is an acquired taste, but I do wish it is able to do better and better each week.
A Bloody Lucky Day with Daesang winner is unable to garner ratings domestically.... wae ... why!!
My Demon is half of Park's Marriage Contract... huh, makes sense actually.
Samdal-ri... hwaiting!!

Im a little sad my demon hasn’t been doing very well locally in sk. It also has a rather low rating in db which I find surprising. Any particular reason for either of these?
