“First Lady” Bows Out With Quiet, Steady Finale Ratings
MBN’s political melodrama “First Lady” has officially wrapped, closing its run with a calm but steady finale. The last episode posted an average nationwide rating of 1.6 percent, capping a season that maintained consistent viewer interest.
Fronted by Eugene as Cha Soo Yeon—a savvy kingmaker poised to become the nation’s first lady—the series detonates its central twist when president‑elect Hyun Min Chul (Ji Hyun Woo) asks for a divorce just 67 days before his inauguration. From there, the show dives into power plays, betrayals, and reinvention as Soo Yeon fights to reclaim her narrative.
Eugene delivers a cool, steel‑spined performance, while Ji Hyun Woo’s conflicted leader adds texture to the cat‑and‑mouse tension. The finale ties up its political intrigue without going bombastic, opting for a measured landing that suits the drama’s sleek tone.
