The third episode of the ongoing SBS Friday-Saturday drama Phantom Lawyer aired last night to its best Friday night ratings so far.
The K-drama’s nationwide ratings, according to Nielsen Korea, were 7.8 percent, which is nicely up from last Friday’s already very solid 6.3 percent of the viewership.
That also meant it was the third most-watched TV show of the day yesterday.
Phantom Lawyer, Episode 3 also earned its highest Friday rating so far from viewers in Seoul, grabbing 8.1 percent of the metro audience share compared to the 5.6 percent it earned for Episode 1 last week.
It was the 2nd most-watched TV show in Seoul for all of Friday.
Meanwhile, MBC drama In Your Radiant Season, which airs directly opposite Phantom Lawyer, was still struggling with low ratings, earning just 2.9 percent of the nationwide audience.
Phantom Lawyer is directed by Shin Jung Hun (Going My Home), and written by Kim Chul Gyu (Mother and Mom) and stars Yoo Yeon Seok (A Bloody Lucky Day) and Esom (LTNS).
It’s a 16-episode series, and is scheduled to run through May 2nd, 2026. You can watch it internationally via Viki, and on Netflix.
