Saturday night in Korea just delivered a ratings sweep, with one drama crossing into double digits for the first time and two others posting their best weekend numbers yet. Here’s the full breakdown.

## The Numbers

According to Nielsen Korea, MBC’s A Bona Fide Killer took first place in its time slot with a nationwide average of 10.2%, marking a new all-time high and making it the most-watched miniseries of the night. tvN’s Spooky in Love and KBS 2TV’s Love on the Menu both posted their best-ever Saturday ratings — a notable feat since Saturdays typically underperform Sundays for these shows. Love on the Menu was the most-watched program of any kind that aired on Saturday, while JTBC’s The Apartment Job matched its previous Saturday best ahead of its finale, and SBS’s Flex x Cop 2 climbed steadily in its fourth episode.
