A Finale That Delivered
According to Nielsen Korea, “Flex X Cop 2” took first place in its time slot with an average nationwide rating of 11.8 percent, edging past the previous all-time high of 11.0 percent set by the first season. Finishing a season on an upward trajectory rather than a decline is a strong signal of sustained audience investment — it suggests the story stuck the landing rather than fizzling out, which isn’t always guaranteed for long-running franchises.
The Rest of the Ratings Picture
Elsewhere, tvN’s “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” posted its best-ever Saturday performance at 6.8 percent — a notable achievement given the show has historically pulled stronger numbers on Sundays rather than Saturdays. Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s “Love on the Menu” continued its dominant run, remaining the most-watched program across all genres for the day with a commanding 13.8 percent rating.
Not every show is riding high, though. “A Love Other Than Yours” saw a dip to 2.5 percent for its third episode, while JTBC’s freshly premiered “Fly High Butterfly” opened modestly at 1.9 percent — a debut number that will need to build momentum in the weeks ahead to avoid getting lost in a crowded weekend drama lineup.
Why Finale Ratings Matter?
A strong series finale often reflects more than just curiosity about how a story ends — it signals sustained loyalty built over an entire season. This pattern is common across successful television drama franchises worldwide, where audience retention through a finale is treated as a key indicator of overall series success, often influencing decisions around future seasons or spin-offs.
