Saturday night’s K-drama ratings race delivered fresh milestones, with tvN’s “100 Days of Deception” and JTBC’s “Final Table” both posting their best Saturday numbers yet, according to Nielsen Korea figures released on October 31.
“100 Days of Deception” scored an average nationwide rating of 7.2 percent on Saturday, a standout result for a show whose Saturday episodes have historically lagged behind its Sunday broadcasts. The number made it the most-watched cable program of any kind on Saturday night.
JTBC newcomer “Final Table” also set a new Saturday high with its third episode, which earned a nationwide average of 2.2 percent — an encouraging early sign for the freshman drama.
Doctor X Remains Saturday’s Undisputed Ratings King
Saturday’s biggest audience still belonged to SBS’s “Doctor X,” which pulled an average nationwide rating of 15.6 percent to continue its run as the most-watched program of the day overall.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s “Love on the Menu” once again topped its time slot across all channels with an average of 14.7 percent nationwide.
Elsewhere on the Dial
MBC’s “The Perfect Lie,” airing opposite “Doctor X,” held steady at 1.9 percent for its second episode. Over on KBS 2TV, “A Love Other Than Yours” slipped to a new all-time low of 1.6 percent just ahead of its series finale.
Channel A’s “Dive into You” also dipped ahead of its final episode, managing just 0.1 percent nationwide for its penultimate installment.
With “100 Days of Deception” building momentum on Saturdays and “Final Table” climbing early, both dramas head into November with something worth celebrating.
