In an event that has obviously been coming for some time now, popular Korean drama Phantom Lawyer, Episode 6 aired on SBS last night and grabbed its first ever double digit ratings — in both regions of the country.
According to new data released today via Nielsen Korea, Phantom Lawyer, Episode 6 grabbed 10.0 percent of the nationwide rating on Saturday night.
That’s a very solid increase from the already excellent 8.7 percent rating the K-drama earned on Friday.
In Seoul, viewers positively responded to the latest episode of the hit legal-themed fantasy drama in even higher numbers, with Episode 6 grabbing 10.6 percent of the audience share.
That all means Phantom Lawyer was also the most-watched mini-series of the entire week.
Phantom Lawyer is also smashing it on Netflix internationally
The Yoo Yeon Seok and Esom-led drama is also going gangbusters on Netflix internationally, where it currently sits in the #5 spot on their Top 10 Most-Watched Non-English TV Series chart — up from its #7 position last week.
It was viewed 2.4 million times this week alone, and is one of the Top 10 shows in 20 countries, including Egypt, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and the K-drama’s home country of South Korea.
The next episode of the SBS drama will drop on April 3rd on SBS in South Korea, and on Netflix, KOCOWA and Viki internationally.
Let’s see if its ratings are able to stay in double digits then. (With the way its performing, I have a feeling they will, don’t you?)
