  • The drama series 'Chief Kim' starring So Ji-sub achieved a new viewership high of over 20%.
  • In contrast, Namkoong Min's new drama 'The Completion of Marriage' debuted with a low viewership rating of around 4%.
  • 'Chief Kim' has consistently performed well, setting new personal best ratings.

The drama 'Chief Kim,' featuring actor So Ji-sub, has reached a new viewership milestone, surpassing 20% and setting a personal best for the series.

This impressive performance stands in stark contrast to the debut of Namkoong Min's new drama, 'The Completion of Marriage.' The KBS 2TV weekend drama premiered with a modest viewership rating of approximately 4%, according to Nielsen Korea's data released on the 5th.

'Chief Kim' has demonstrated consistent popularity, with its latest episode achieving the high ratings. The series, which airs on Fridays and Saturdays, has captured a significant audience, highlighting its strong appeal.

Meanwhile, 'The Completion of Marriage,' directed by Kim Jung-hyun and Kim Min-tae and written by Jung Jae-ha, began its run with a less auspicious start. The stark difference in initial viewership numbers between the two dramas underscores the varying levels of audience reception in the current television landscape.
