The weekend drama lineup is drawing strong attention as three major dramas compete in the same time slot, with MBC’s ‘Perfect Crown’ currently leading in both buzz and ratings.
The drama, starring IU and Byeon Woo Seok, started with 7.8 percent and quickly rose to 9.5 percent, later reaching 11.1 percent nationwide and 11.3 percent in the metropolitan area by Episode 4, marking its highest rating so far. It also recorded a peak of 13.8 percent, clearly placing it in the top position.
The series gained momentum early by combining romance and tension, keeping viewers engaged with a steady mix of emotional and dramatic moments. This balance helped it secure strong immersion and fast viewer response.
Meanwhile, SBS’s ‘Phantom Lawyer’ is maintaining steady performance with ratings around the 6 percent range.
The drama stands out by mixing legal themes with supernatural elements, creating a unique style that continues to attract attention.
JTBC’s ‘We Are All Trying Here’ joined the competition later and recorded 2.2 percent for its first episode.
While lower in numbers, the drama focuses more on slower emotional storytelling rather than immediate impact.
With each drama offering a different style, the competition remains open. While ‘Perfect Crown’ is currently No.1 based on ratings, future results may change as viewer preferences continue to vary.
