Love Scout, Episode 6 grabs highest ratings of the K-drama’s run
The latest installment of the South Korean drama Love Scout achieved a significant milestone with its sixth episode last night.
According to data from Nielsen Korea, Love Scout, Episode 6 garnered an impressive 11.4% in South Korea’s nationwide viewership ratings, marking a continued upward trend since its premiere.
That rating was up from the K-drama’s already impressive nationwide rating of 10.7% for Episode 5 on Friday night.
The SBS drama performed similarly well in Seoul too, earning 11.2% of the audience, which is only 0.10% lower than its all-time high in that region for Episode 4.
This episode not only hit a personal high for the series, however, but also put Love Scout in second place in dramas aired last night, with only the smash-hit Iron Family with its 17.4% earning a higher viewership.
Audience reaction
Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Joon Hyuk, has been a superb mix of romance and workplace dynamics so far with audiences loving it right from its premiere.
That positive response was in evidence on social media after Love Scout, Episode 6 as the latest episode showcased further development in the relationship between Kang Ji Yun (Han Ji Min), the headstrong CEO, and her accomplished and efficient secretary, Yun Eun Ho (Lee Joon Hyuk).
Posts on X and Facebook about Love Scout, Episode 6 also show how much fans still love the K-drama, with several even highlighting the real-time ratings climb during the broadcast and cheering it on.
That episode peak rating reached over 21% at one point, by the way, illustrating moments where the audience was particularly engaged.
As Love Scout continues to build its audience, anticipation for the upcoming episodes then is palpable.
After all, the drama has not only managed to retain its initial audience but also attract many new viewers, as is proven by the continually escalating ratings. (It started with just 5.2% nationwide/4.9% in Seoul for Episode 1)
With six more episodes left before the K-drama ends, let’s see how Kang Ji Yun and Yu Eun Ho’s story unfolds, and if it continues to climb high in the ratings. (It’s likely to!)
