This year's ratings were very sad.
Maybe the wave was because of the presidential elections, because after Whisper ended, 14% was considered a huge deal for weekday shows.

TVN was really bad this year, except for some shows which everybody agreed were good (FoS, LutyN) and I think they have really struck gold with the Na PD team (NJTtW, Newlywed Diaries, 3MAD) who also work at the Reply series and Prison Playbook (In Winner over flowers NA PD said the writer of Prison Playbook is a writer of NJTtW too).

JTBC had a ton of luck with the SWDBS team, and had nice ratings on other dramas (since JTBC is not asking for subpar ratings).

OCN was really good with Tunnel, Voice . And Save Me made a lot of noise despite the ratings.

Public broadcasts were a little disappointing , and only Defendant and Chief Kim cracked the barriers, while others were popular only for a part of viewers.

I just don't understand how I'm Not a Robot can have such poor ratings with such good quality drama...

I am so happy for Jugglers. Let it hit 10% mark in the next episodes. Loving the show.

I am Not a robot's ratings are disappointing. It isnt a great show, but it has got sweet moments which are good overall. It is disheartening to see such low numbers for a show which airs on Big 3 channel.

I am so sad that Smart Prison living, Money Flower, and Bad guys got pre-empted this week. These are the best shows airing during this period and i am always hungry for more episodes from these shows.

Black Knight is catching up my attention lately, because of the evil ones there. They are hilarious. The show is going good.

Is it me, or does anyone doesnt get feeling of watching the drama when some of the dramas where the the 1 hour episode is split into two parts/episodes. It breaks up the flow of the story, and loses the momentum.

Happy new year beanies.

Happy New Year, beanies!!

Omo, it's just insane that BK has hit above 10%. Has anybody been keeping up with episodes like me? I've been quite bored recently (holidays!) and have had nothing better to watch. The most recent 2 episodes were horrifying in terms of humour/romance. I'd like to think that it's because I don't particularly prefer SSK as an actress, but I actually thought she was ok in Habaek. I even prefer Habaek to this, somehow, if that's even possible.

Hoping that Jugglers hits double digits soon! And that INAR improves a little, because dayumn does Yoo Seung-ho have a fantastic range of emotions. Fingers crossed.

KBS is the real winner atm. Jugglers was so close to double digits (!!!!), BK hit a series high this week and MGL is a hit. I'm surprised that Jugglers is doing so well (shows I like usually flop lol), but I'm glad that simple, charming shows like this can be successful too. This is a good post army comeback project for Daniel Choi (I've never liked him so much as I do here!) and Baek Jin Hee really needed a hit show that doesn't waste her talent so I'm happy for her. Fingers crossed that the show keeps this momentum going and the writer handles the upcoming conflict with grace.

I really missed Money Flower this week. :(

Happy for Jugglers! It is a great drama, hope rating increases more.

Only drama I'm watching right now is Money Flower so super bummed and disappointed that there were no new episodes this week, but hey Jang Hyuk won male excellence in weekend drama!! And Lee Misook won female excellence in weekend drama!!! So happy for both of them they completely deserved it, hope next week's two eps are great.
Hope INAR somehow picks up in ratings for all of the beanies' sake, I saw a couple of clips and it seemed like a cute show.

jugglers might hit double digits soon. *yayyy*
I feel so proud when dramas I like get high ratings.

kinda sad that JBL isn't pulling higher numbers. the show is so interesting. the story is progressing slowly but thats what makes it even more good. the cinematography is perfect.the leads are impressive . if you haven't started this fabulous show yet please do,you won't regret it!

Yaaayy Just Between Lovers is mentioned this week. Pity about the ratings though. It's up against Kang's Kitchen which is bringing in around 8% and I'm not optimistic for JBL to grow. It really deserves so much more.

I notice that Dramabeans "Currently Airing" at the side of the screen still shows Hwayugi 3/4 showing this weekend.
Wishful thinking?

@javabeans Thanks for including Just Between Lovers in the ratings list.

The ratings are a bit sad, they’re dropping each week. I can only hope they pick up again. Even though it’s at a late hour and the drama is supposedly “slow” and nuanced. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾.

Nothing To Lose's numbers for the 22nd episode are wrong. Episode 22 got 7.1% in ratings.

Im happy shows dont all have to be huge budget fantasy shows to get high ratings, but cute, slightly simpler shows like Jugglers can do it too.

That said, poor INAR. It is one of my favourites on right now with many well written and likeable characters and I don't get why it's doing so badly. I hope it doesn't stop anyone from trying to write more unconventional scripts.

I’m utterly baffled that ‘Just Between Lovers’ isn’t more popular. An amazingly well acted show with a beautiful OST. Korea’s missing out on something wonderful. Too bad!

My favorite 2017 dramas in no specific order: Strong Woman, Woman of Dignity, Save Me, Go Back Couple, Avengers Social Club, Witch's Court, Mad Dog, 20th Century Boy and Girl, Because this is my first life, Father is Strange, Chicago Typewriter, Individualist Ms. Ji-Young, Age of youth 2, Radiant Office.

I don't get how the ratings for Just Between Lovers is so low. It's such a great show, easily one of my favourites from 2017 (technically 2018, whatever). It deserves more recognition.

Marathoned "Just Between Lovers," this weekend and I have to agree that it deserves much better ratings that it is getting. Black Knight baffles me. I have watched every episode so far, but I almost had to force myself to watch the last one. Jugglers is still gaining momentum, which is awesome because this is one of the best shows running at the moment unless you count Money Flower, which keeps hitting it out of the ballpark...like Wise Prison Life, which deserves even more recognition than it is getting.

Oh IANAR, my poor YSH, I hope he doesn't get spooked by RomCom genre because of the low rating. It's not your fault YSH, please don't go into hiding when the show ends. Take a better project, hopefully on KBS or Tvn with a good writer to wipe out the first ratings fail of your career.

BK is getting interesting with the vamp getting more desperate and the villian knowing about the two immortal witches. I wonder how that will play.

Jugglers is love, the last 2 episodes were so FLUFFY. I adore the OTP. They are so cute!

It's a pity about JBL, I am going to watch it after it ends but the small clips that I have seen on IG were pretty good.

Last week they did not publish the rating? They will not do it anymore or was it for this week?

Happy New Year to all of you!
I'm wondering if this was the last of the 'weekly drama viewership ratings report'...
If so, I just wanted to thank you for all of the old ones. I have always checked these articles to see how my current favorite is doing at the moment and to read other Beanies thoughts on the matter.
If this was the last one, I guess that it's kind of like giving up something for the new year? Or maybe... uhm, not?

Has dramabeans stopped maintaining this tag? I found these weekly ratings round up super useful.
