“Typhoon Family” and “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim” Hit New All-Time Highs as “Our Golden Days” Dominates the Weekend
Momentum is building across Korea’s drama landscape. tvN’s “Typhoon Family” and JTBC’s “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim” both notched fresh personal bests, while KBS 2TV’s “Our Golden Days” continued its reign as the weekend’s most-watched program.
“Typhoon Family” climbed to a nationwide average rating of 9.4%, taking No. 1 in its cable time slot and marking the drama’s strongest performance to date.
Meanwhile, “The Dream Life of Mr. Kim” wrapped the first half of its run on a high, jumping to a new peak of 4.7% nationwide.
Over on KBS 2TV, newcomer “Last Summer” held steady at 1.8% for its fourth episode, as long-running favorite “Our Golden Days” led the entire weekend with an impressive 14.9% nationwide average.
