Four Hands, Two Sonatas Peaks Before the Finale
tvN’s “Four Hands, Two Sonatas” delivered its highest ratings yet with its penultimate episode, averaging 8.7% nationwide. That was enough to take first place in its time slot across all channels, including the public broadcast networks. A career-best number just before the series finale is exactly the kind of momentum a drama wants heading into its last episode.
Dive Into You Keeps Climbing
Channel A’s “Dive into You” also reached a new personal best. Its third episode rose slightly to 0.6% nationwide, continuing an upward trend. The number is modest, but a steady climb in the early episodes is a good sign for a young drama. Viewers who want to catch up can watch the first three episodes with subtitles on Viki.
