The ratings race among South Korean dramas released in the same Monday-Tuesday time slot remain tight. However, Park Bo Gum's drama "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" continue to dominate the TV ratings chart while "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" posted an increase in viewership share.
The KBS historical series "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" maintained its place at the top of the rating's chart versus other Monday-Tuesday primetime dramas. Episode 11 titled "Promise" that aired on Sept. 26, Monday, registered a viewership share of 20.7 percent, according to Soompi. The said episode's ratings posted an increase of 1.1 percentage points as compared to the previous week's ratings of 19.6 percent.
Lee Joon Gi's drama "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" claimed the second place in the TV rating's chart with the recent end of the MBC drama "Monster." The SBS historical series posted an increase in viewership share from the previous week's ratings of 6.2 percent to the current week's 7.1 percent.
Despite the drama's steady increase in ratings, the SBS series has yet to break the 10 percent mark. Lee's drama already reached its half-way point with the recent release of episodes 10 and 11. At this time, it is still unclear if "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" will manage to secure double-digit ratings before the drama closes its final chapter in October.
Meanwhile, the new MBC drama "Woman with a Suitcase" debuted with a viewership rating of 6.9 percent. The said series stars the famous South Korean actress Choi Ji Woo whose earlier drama projects include "Winter Sonata," "Stairway to Heaven," "Twenty Again" and more.
In other news, Korean songstress Baek Ji Young joined the list of artists who lent their voices for the "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" drama soundtrack. OU Entertainment unveiled the KBS drama's new song on its social networking services (SNS), according to All Kpop.
Apart from the new soundtrack, titled "Love is Over," a music video was also released that featured some of the touching and heartbreaking scenes between the drama's main characters. The said track is the ninth song in the KBS series' soundtrack list.
"Moonlight Drawn by Clouds," "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" and "Woman with a Suitcase" airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. KST on KBS, SBS and MBC respectively.
