Park Jinyoung & Kim Min Ju’s “Still Shining” Lights Up JTBC — But Can It Beat the Weekend Competition?

The weekend K-drama battlefield just got a new contender. JTBC’s “Still Shining” — starring GOT7’s Park Jinyoung and former IZ*ONE member Kim Min Ju — aired its first two episodes on March 6, 2026, and the numbers are in. Meanwhile, MBC’s “In Your Radiant Season” is quietly building momentum. Here’s everything you need to know.

According to Nielsen Korea, here’s how the weekend dramas stacked up:

“Still Shining” — A Promising Start

A 2.1% premiere on JTBC is a decent launchpad for any new romance drama. Park Jinyoung, best known as a member of GOT7, has been steadily building his acting career, and pairing him with the charismatic Kim Min Ju — a fan favourite from IZ*ONE — gives this show real star power. The slight dip to 1.7% in Episode 2 is normal for back-to-back premieres, as audiences often tune out after sampling.

First-episode curiosity is real — the true test for “Still Shining” begins next weekend.

MBC’s “In Your Radiant Season” is proving it has legs. Jumping to 4.1% in its fifth episode, the drama is now firmly the weekend frontrunner. Word-of-mouth is clearly doing its job here — a sign that viewers are emotionally invested in where the story is headed.
