It's a good week for K-drama fans! Two currently airing Korean series, “Love in Disguise” and “Between Steps,” have reached their highest viewership ratings yet, giving both dramas a boost as their stories continue to unfold.
According to Nielsen Korea figures reported by Soompi, both shows recorded new personal bests with their latest episodes.
tvN's romance thriller “Love in Disguise,” starring Yim Si-wan and Seol In-ah, climbed to an average nationwide rating of 6.0 percent for its fourth episode.
The series follows a wealthy conglomerate heir who becomes a murder suspect and a former special forces officer who goes undercover as his personal secretary to investigate him. Their complicated working relationship brings together suspense, unexpected twists and romance.
The 6.0 percent result also made it the most-watched cable programme of any kind on that Tuesday, according to the reported Nielsen Korea figures.
Meanwhile, ENA's romantic drama “Between Steps,” starring Choo Young-woo and Kim So-hyun, reached a new personal record with an average nationwide rating of 2.7 percent.
The series centres on two graduate students whose lives intersect in a university robotics laboratory. As they navigate personal challenges, academic pressures and relationships, the story explores connection, healing and personal growth.
The new figures show growing audience interest in both productions. While the two dramas air on different cable networks and have different storylines, each has managed to reach a new viewership milestone.
Ratings are only one measure of a show's performance, but these latest results give both casts and production teams another reason to celebrate.
