With just two episodes left to air next week, the Korean drama When the Phone Rings, Episode 10 earned its highest ever ratings last night — both nationally, and from viewers in the South Korean capital.
The data via Nielsen Korea shows When the Phone Rings, Episode 10 grabbed 7.5 percent of the nationwide audience, which is a half percentage point increase from its previous all-time high of 7.0 percent for Episode 8.
In Seoul, the MBC series earned 7.4 percent of that region’s viewership, which is an even higher increase from the 6.8 percent it gained for its previously highest rated show in that region — again Episode 8.
The K-drama’s final two episodes are scheduled to air on January 3rd and 4th, 2025 and, with its ratings continuing to be so strong, it is highly likely it will end on an even higher audience share next weekend.
