What This Ratings Split Says
A finale climbing to its highest rating is often a sign of strong audience investment building toward a satisfying payoff — a pattern common in well-received entries within Korean drama, where series finales frequently outperform mid-season episodes as viewers tune in for closure.
On the flip side, a new drama hitting an all-time low so early in its run is a tougher signal, often pointing to pacing issues or a struggle to hold onto its initial audience amid competing timeslot options.
For “Doctor on the Edge,” the finale caps off a solid run for lead star Lee Jae Wook, who fans can also catch in “Last Summer,” currently streaming on Viki. Co-star Shin Ye Eun’s other project, “A Hundred Memories,” is streaming there as well.
