Why It’s Winning With Younger Viewers Too
What makes this run particularly impressive is its consistency across demographics. My Royal Nemesis was also the most-watched miniseries of the week among viewers aged 20 to 49, earning an average rating of 2.4 percent in that key bracket. For broadcasters, this age group is often the toughest to capture, making the show’s grip on this audience even more notable.
The Competition Isn’t Backing Down Either
It’s not a one-sided race though. MBC’s Fifties Professionals, airing in the same time slot, kicked off the second half of its run with a nationwide rating of 5.3 percent, a solid number that shows audiences are genuinely split between the two shows on Friday nights. With both dramas heading into their latter halves, the ratings battle is only expected to heat up further.
