## My Royal Nemesis (SBS) — The Double-Digit Breakthrough

This is the headline moment of the week. SBS’s hit romantic comedy wrapped up the first half of its run with its biggest episode yet — Episode 6 averaged a nationwide rating of **10.3%**, smashing through the double-digit barrier for the first time. Breaking 10% is a significant benchmark in the current fragmented Korean TV landscape, where even popular dramas often plateau in the mid-to-high single digits. The show now heads into its second half with serious momentum and an audience that is clearly all in.

## Recipe for Love (KBS 2TV) — The Saturday King

Quietly and consistently, KBS 2TV’s Recipe for Love continues to outperform everything in its path. Its Saturday episode earned a **12.3% nationwide rating**, making it the most-watched programme of any kind airing on Saturday — across drama, variety, and entertainment. That kind of dominance across all channels is rare and signals a show with an exceptionally broad, loyal viewership.

## Filing for Love (tvN) — Best Saturday Ever

tvN’s Filing for Love has historically performed better on Sundays than Saturdays, but that narrative changed this week. The latest episode pulled in a **5.9% nationwide rating** — its highest Saturday figure yet — and finished first in its time slot across all channels, including public broadcast networks. A major statement for a cable drama going toe-to-toe with KBS, MBC, and SBS.

## We Are All Trying Here (JTBC) — One Episode Left

With just one episode remaining before its series finale, JTBC’s We Are All Trying Here dipped slightly to **4.1%**. Given the natural decline audiences experience heading into a finale week, this remains a respectable number for the show’s final stretch.

## Fifties Professionals (MBC) — Still Finding Its Footing

MBC’s new drama Fifties Professionals, airing in the same slot as My Royal Nemesis on SBS, earned **3.6%** for its second episode. Early days for this one — it has time to build.
