SBS drama Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia, starring Kim Ji Won, saw a sharp decline in viewership ratings just one episode before its finale, while MBC's The Perfect Lie, starring Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok, continued to reach new highs.
According to Nielsen Korea, the November 13 broadcast of Doctor X recorded a nationwide rating of 14.5% for episode 11, falling 3.2 percentage points from the previous episode's 17.7%.
The result marked the drama's lowest rating since its premiere, which opened at 11.4%. Earlier in its run, Doctor X reached a personal best of 19.5% with episode 6, but its ratings have since shown some fluctuations.
Meanwhile, MBC's competing Friday-Saturday drama The Perfect Lie continued its upward trend.
Episode 5 recorded a nationwide rating of 2.7%, setting another personal best. Although the figure remains relatively low compared to Doctor X, the psychological thriller has steadily improved since premiering with 1.9%, achieving a new ratings high with each episode.
Despite the decline, Doctor X maintained a significant lead over its competitor.
With Doctor X scheduled to air its final episode on November 14, attention is now turning to whether Kim Ji Won's medical drama can recover its ratings and finish on a stronger note.
Meanwhile, The Perfect Lie will continue airing as SBS prepares to introduce Good Partner 2 on November 20, raising interest in whether the Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok drama can maintain its growing momentum.
