A Bona Fide Killer: Ending on a High
MBC’s “A Bona Fide Killer” is heading into its final week with real momentum behind it. The drama once again claimed first place in its time slot across all channels, pulling in a 9.3% nationwide rating as it barrels toward its last two episodes. For a show entering its home stretch, rising numbers rather than fading interest is exactly the send-off producers hope for.
Flex x Cop 2: Chasing Its Own Record
SBS’s “Flex x Cop 2,” airing in the same competitive time slot, posted a solid 7.8% average — just shy of the 7.9% personal best it set the previous week. While it couldn’t quite match its own record, staying this close to peak numbers shows the show still has a loyal, engaged audience tuning in week after week.
Four Hands, Two Sonatas: A Rising Newcomer
tvN’s “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” is the real story of quiet growth this week. Its third episode scored 4.4%, marking the show’s highest Saturday rating yet. For a newer drama still finding its footing, this kind of upward trend suggests word-of-mouth and audience interest are building at just the right pace.
Love on the Menu: Still Saturday’s Undisputed King
KBS 2TV’s “Love on the Menu” continues to dominate the entire Saturday lineup, not just within its genre but across all programming. With a commanding 14.2% nationwide average, it remains the most-watched show of any kind airing that night — a title it has held onto consistently.
Both “A Bona Fide Killer” and “Love on the Menu” are available with subtitles on Viki for fans wanting to catch up. You can also read more about how Nielsen ratings are measured in Korea on Wikipedia.
