tvNŌĆÖs Under the QueenŌĆÖs Umbrella topped the chart in just two weeks. Called the Joseon version of SKY Castle, the female characters that werenŌĆÖt seen in other historical dramas are getting great responses. Of course, the actorsŌĆÖ performance that backs up these new characters is also impressive. However, there are some criticisms over historical inaccuracy. SBSŌĆÖs One Dollar Lawyer dropped to second place. The reason seems to be its cancellation of the Friday episode without a particular reason. Moreover, the network announced that the show will end after episode 12 instead of episode 14 and the cancellation of another Friday broadcast due to the baseball postseason, leaving many disappointed. SBSŌĆÖs Cheer Up kept its place in third place. The love triangle of Han Ji Hyeon, Bae In Hyuk, and Kim Hyun Jin is drawing keen attention. Bae In Hyuk has put his name on the cast rankings twice with Under the QueenŌĆÖs Umbrella and Cheer Up. MBCŌĆÖs The Golden Spoon, tvNŌĆÖs Love in Contract, and KBSŌĆÖs Bad Prosecutor were ranked in the same place as last week. The Golden Spoon and Love in Contract are receiving negative responses due to their dragging story, while Bad Prosecutor gains praise for its fast-paced development. MBCŌĆÖs May I Help You? debuted at No.7. Though it might lack in terms of buzz-worthy elements, its touching and warm story has gained favorable reviews.
MnetŌĆÖs Show Me the Money 11 took first place from the premiere. While Lee Young Ji, the winner of High School Rapper 3, became the center of attention after she appeared as a participant, her rap performance and the reason she applied to compete in the show also became a hot topic. MnetŌĆÖs Street Man Fighter ranked second. The show became an object of ridicule after the news that tickets for their upcoming tour failed to sell out. This survey was released by the TV popularity analyst Good Data Corporation after analyzing the internetŌĆÖs responses generated from news articles, blogs/communities, videos, and social media in regards to 22 drama series and 192 variety shows that are either on-air or scheduled to be aired from October 17th to October 23rd of 2022.
