Four Hands, Two Sonatas Enters Its Final Week at No. 1 While Dive Into You Starts to Climb

A busy weekend for Korean TV: one drama is winning its time slot as it heads toward the finish line, and a newcomer is edging upward. Here’s a closer look at each title, based on Nielsen Korea’s nationwide ratings for September 27.

Ratings Snapshot

Four Hands, Two Sonatas: Finishing Strong

This is the standout. The tvN drama held its 7.2% average and stayed first across all channels in its time slot going into its last week. That steadiness matters: holding a rating near the end suggests viewers are staying invested rather than drifting away.

It also carries serious buzz. It has topped the weekly most buzzworthy drama list for four straight weeks, and its leads, Lee Jun Young and Song Kang, hold the top two spots among actors. Strong ratings plus strong conversation is a rare pairing.

Dive into You: Small Number, Encouraging Sign

Channel A’s new fantasy romance logged a modest increase for its second episode, reaching a 0.5% nationwide average. The figure is low, but a rise from the premiere is what a new drama wants, since it hints that early viewers are sticking around. The first two episodes are subtitled on Viki if you’d like to catch up.

Fly High Butterfly: Steady Ground

JTBC’s series held steady at 1.4% for its fourth episode. No dramatic swing, but consistency at this stage can help a drama build word of mouth.

Two Dramas Take a Weekend Off

Love on the Menu and A Love Other Than Yours did not air this weekend because of Asian Games coverage. Expect them to return to their regular schedules afterward.
