Korean drama The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract, Episode 3 aired last night on MBC in South Korea to its highest ever ratings.
According to official data from Nielsen Korea, The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract, Episode 3 ratings were 6.7 percent nationwide, which is up from Episode 2’s 5.9 percent and a new record for the MBC drama.
In Seoul, the K-drama performed similarly, with its ratings rising from the previous episode’s 5.8 percent to last night’s 6.7 percent.
Those ratings placed the drama in 6th place on Korean TV nationwide, and in 4th place in Seoul for the day.
Considering The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract also airs directly opposite the SBS drama My Demon, which also saw a viewership rise last night, and that its ratings continue to rise with each new episode released is a superb achievement.
