Viewer ratings released on the 3rd and the 5th episode of 'Fashion King' pulled in a rating of 10.1%, a 0.5% increase from its previous episode. The drama was able to score double digits with its love square between the main characters.
On the 5th episode, viewers can see relationship developing between Young Gul (played by Yoo Ah In) and An Na (played by Yuri) and also between Jae Hyuk (played by Lee Jae Hoon) and Ga Young (played by Shin Se Kyung). Young Gul and An Na fatefully meet at Dongdaemun and also have drinks together. Yuri drunkenly confessed, "You're lucky to be acknowledged by Michael, while someone spent years for the same recognition and doesn't even get a second glance." Young Gul replies back with, "You are very charming," and takes her home.
On the other hand, after getting some positive signs from Ga Young, Jae Hyuk shows concern over An Na and goes to her house but sees her with Young Gul; thus creating a love square.
Meanwhile, dramas that aired at the same time 'Lights and Shadows' received a 21.7% rating while 'Love Rain' got 4.4%.
