MBC's 'Horse Doctor' rose a little in the ratings and is endangering the drama in first place, KBS's 'Ooh La La Couple'.
On the 16th, according to AGB Nielson Media Research, 'Horse Doctor' rose to 10.4% in the ratings from last week's rating of 10%. On the other hand, 'Ooh La La Couple' dropped to 11.4% from last week's 12.2%.
When the two dramas aired together on October 1st, between the two dramas, 'Horse Doctor' had more buzz surrounding it. It was anticipated that 'Horse Doctor' would easily take first place because it was the new drama of 'the master of historical dramas' PD Lee Byung Hoon. He was the director of ratings hit 'Dae Jang Geum', 'Dong Yi', and many more.
However, with the strong comedic acting of Shin Hyun Joon and Kim Jung Eun, 'Ooh La La Couple' took first place in the timeslot while 'Horse Doctor' dropped as low as 6% in the ratings with the appearance of the child actors.
On the 9th, the drama broke into double digits in the ratings and recorded 10%. 'Horse Doctor' is now a threat to 'Ooh La La Couple' as the ratings drop little by little after achieving its ratings high of 14.5%.
On the 15th, the anticipation heightened as the adult actors, Jo Seung woo, Lee Yo Won, and etc., take over. This is Jo Seung Woo's first drama in his 14 years as an actor. He left a strong first impression through the acting skills he refined through movies and musicals.
As the 'Horse Doctor' enters its second act, the spotlight is on to see if it will beat 'Ooh La La Couple' and become the new ratings leader.
