Sunday nights just got a lot more competitive. Two rising K-dramas — KBS 2TV’s “The Husband” and JTBC’s “The Apartment Job” — both posted their best ratings yet on July 12, proving neither show is slowing down anytime soon.
“The Husband” delivered the bigger jump. According to Nielsen Korea, the thriller’s fourth episode pulled in a 7.2% nationwide rating, climbing nearly two full percentage points from the previous week. That wasn’t just a personal best for the series — it made “The Husband” the most-watched drama in its entire timeslot, beating out every other channel airing at the same hour.
