Ongoing SBS romance drama Love Scout, Episode 9 grabbed another all-time high rating for itself last night.
In other words, it appears the production committee’s strategy of only airing one episode this weekend instead of two paid off magnificently.
Those ratings, by the way, were a very high 11.8 percent nationwide, which is an increase of .40 percent over it’s previous all-time high of 11.40 percent for Episode 6.
In Seoul, the SBS drama also performed exceptionally well, grabbing a personal best rating of 11.8 percent in that region as well – up from its previous high of 11.30 percent for Episode 4.
It appears then that viewers deprived of their Love Scout episode on Friday night made darned sure they got to see it on Saturday.
International viewers also rate Love Scout very high
International audiences are also still apparently in love with the Korean drama as almost 3,800 My Drama List users are still rating it a very high 8.7 out of 10 (anything above an 8.4 is a very high rating from users of that site).
Almost 500 IMDB users are also rating Love Scout a high (for that site) of 8.5 out of 10, while over on Viki where the drama is airing internationally, almost 7,800 users of that site are rating the K-drama an astoundingly high 9.8 out of 10.
Yep, you could say Love Scout is a huge hit, both in South Korea and abroad.
The Korean drama stars Han Ji Min and Lee Joon Hyuk. Its next episode will air on Friday February 7th, 2025.
