What happens when your new secretary is secretly investigating you for murder? tvN’s Love in Disguise turns that tense question into romance, and viewers clearly want the answer. The drama just debuted to a solid audience.
Love In Disguise: Ratings Snapshot
According to Nielsen Korea, here’s how the dramas stacked up:
| Drama | Network | Episode | Nationwide Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Love in Disguise | tvN | Premiere | 5.6% |
| Between Steps | ENA | Episode 5 | 2.2% |
| The Ordinary Jackpot (previous tvN slot) | tvN | Finale | 6.2% (its personal best) |
A Promising Start
A 5.6% premiere is a healthy opening, especially because Love in Disguise follows The Ordinary Jackpot, which bowed out at a personal high of 6.2%. That’s a good lead-in to inherit, and the new drama is already close to its predecessor’s peak on day one. If the story holds attention, there’s room to climb.

The Story: Suspicion Wrapped in Romance
This romance thriller pairs two opposites. Yim Si Wan plays an arrogant chaebol heir who becomes a murder suspect. Seol In Ah plays a former special forces officer who goes undercover as his personal secretary to investigate him. You get close-quarters tension, hidden motives and the question of whether feelings can survive a lie. Read more about the lead actor on Wikipedia.
Meanwhile, on ENA
ENA’s Between Steps, starring Choo Young Woo and Kim So Hyun, reached 2.2% for episode 5. That’s a slight dip from the 2.3% record set by the previous episode. It’s a small change, so the drama still looks steady rather than shaky.
What to Watch While You Wait?
Catching up on past work is a great way to get ready. Seol In Ah and Choo Young Woo both appeared in Oasis, which you can stream on Viki. For more ratings reports, premiere news and drama updates, browse Technosports and see our latest K-drama ratings coverage.
