A Big Night on Korean TV: “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” Hits Its Peak, and Two Other Dramas Aren’t Far Behind

Sunday nights in Korea just keep getting more competitive, and this week’s ratings prove it. Three different dramas posted meaningful gains, each telling its own version of a growth story — from a near-doubling of viewership to a returning champion reclaiming its personal best.

“Four Hands, Two Sonatas” Nearly Doubles Overnight

tvN’s “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” closed out the first half of its run in dramatic fashion. According to Nielsen Korea, the drama’s latest episode averaged a 7.3 percent nationwide rating, taking first place in its time slot across all channels — and nearly doubling its rating from just the night before. That kind of jump within a single day signals strong word-of-mouth momentum building right as the show reaches its midpoint.

“A Love Other Than Yours” Shows Early Promise

KBS 2TV’s newer entry, “A Love Other Than Yours,” posted a smaller but still encouraging gain, rising to a 2.8 percent nationwide rating in its second episode. Early-episode increases like this are often a good early indicator, suggesting the show is successfully retaining and slightly growing its audience rather than losing viewers after the premiere.

“Love on the Menu” Remains Untouchable on Sundays

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s “Love on the Menu” returned to its personal best rating of 16.6 percent, reaffirming its position as the single most-watched program of any kind airing on Sunday nights in Korea — not just among dramas, but across all programming. That’s a remarkable feat given how crowded the Sunday primetime lineup has become this season.
