Four different dramas, four different storylines — and on August 22, the ratings told a genuinely interesting story. “Flex x Cop 2” posted its best numbers yet, “Love on the Menu” broke its own Saturday ceiling, and “Spooky in Love” quietly slid lower just one episode from its finale.

## Flex X Cop 2: The Numbers

| Drama | Rating | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A Bona Fide Killer | 8.8% | Won the timeslot, second-half premiere |
| Flex x Cop 2 | 7.5% | New personal best for Season 2 |
| Spooky in Love | 5.5% | Dipped ahead of series finale |
| Love on the Menu | 14.9% | Highest-rated show of any kind on Saturday |

## Flex X Cop 2’s Record — And Why It Still Lost The Slot

SBS’s “Flex x Cop 2” scored an average nationwide rating of 7.5%, its highest of the season so far. Despite the personal best, first place in the timeslot went to MBC’s “[A Bona Fide Killer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Bona_Fide_Killer),” which opened the second half of its run at 8.8%, showing the assassin-thriller still has real momentum heading into its final stretch.

## Spooky In Love’s Quiet Dip

With just one episode left before its series finale, tvN’s “Spooky in Love” fell to a 5.5% rating — a reminder that even a strong performer can lose steam right before the finish line, especially when it’s up against fresh momentum from competing dramas.

## Love On The Menu’s Breakout Saturday

The real standout of the night was KBS 2TV’s “Love on the Menu,” which posted its highest Saturday rating yet at 14.9% — a notable jump given the show has historically performed better on Sundays. That number made it the most-watched program of any kind airing that Saturday, cutting across every genre and network.

## Why This Ratings Night Matters

Seeing four dramas move in different directions on the same night is a useful snapshot of where Korean audiences are putting their attention right now — rewarding a comeback-season assassin thriller, a steadily climbing cop procedural, and a slice-of-life romance, while a finale-bound drama loses a bit of its grip.
