26 June 2023
KBS’ drama, "The Real Has Come!", has won the #1 spot on Nielsen Korea’s latest weekly top 20 terrestrial TV charts yet again, giving the family romcom 14 consecutive weeks as Korea’s top show nationwide.
The latest rankings show "The Real Has Come!" attracted 3.495 million viewers in Korea for the week of 19-25 June, giving it a nationwide rating of 20%. The Seoul metro rating was 18.2% (2.009 million viewers).
"The Real Has Come!" premiered in Korea on 24 March, airing at 7.55pm (KST) on Saturdays and Sundays on KBS’ entertainment terrestrial channel KBS2.
Directed by Han Joon-seo ("Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life"), "The Real Has Come!", is about Oh Yeon-doo (played by Baek Jin-hee), who decides to raise her baby alone but finds herself entangled in a contract marriage with obstetrician-gynecologist, Gong Tae-kyung (played by Ahn Jae-hyun).
The series is widely streamed across the region, including on Vidio in Indonesia and on Viu and Netflix in selected regions as well as aired on KBS’ international satellite channel, KBS World.
Across its run in Korea so far, The Real Has Come! has recorded an average nationwide rating of 19.5% and has been watched by an average of 3.42 million viewers a week between 20 March and 25 June.
The series’ rating high was 21.6% (3.772 million viewers) for the week of 17-23 April. The low was 18.3% (3.203 million viewers) for the week of 3-9 April.
As Korea’s domestic production industry worries about falling production budgets and a much tighter market than headlines would have the world believe, KBS dominated Nielsen’s top 20 for the week, with 11 spots, followed by SBS with six titles and MBC with three.
Elsewhere on the Korean drama map, new SBS weekend drama, "Revenant", is off to an encouraging start, climbing from 1.767 million viewers for episode 1 on Friday (23 June) to 1.896 million for episode two on Saturday (24 June).
