KBS’s “Secret Love” has made a winning exit atop TV charts, securing its ratings crown for six weeks straight.
“Secret Love” closed its curtain of 16-part love and revenge stories atop AGB Nielsen Media Research’s (Nielsen Korea) prime time chart on November 13 and 14 with an average viewership of 18.1 percent, the chart showed on Friday.
Breaking its highest-ever record for third week in a row, the Ji Sung and Hwang Jeong-eum starrer came to a happy ending with the two main characters’ romantic kiss.
As the follow-up to the successful TV series, Jang Keun-suk and IU’s romantic comedy “Pretty Boy” (translated title) will fill up the time slot from next wekk.
SBS’s teenage romcom “The Inheritors” also broke its record ratings after drawing in an average 15.7 percent of total viewers, sitting at the runner-up place.
At the bottom of the chart is MBC’s medical drama “Medical Top Team,” which scored an average viewership of 3.7 percent, a drop of 0.4 percent from last week’s figure.
In the meantime, TNmS’ (Total National Multimedia Statistic) survey showed the three programs in the same order yet different figures from Nielsen Korea’s.
While “Secret Love” reclaimed the top seed with an average rating of 14.3 percent, “The Inheritors” and “Medical Top Team” followed next two spots, each with average scores of 14.0 and 4.1, respectively.
