In no surprise to anyone, When the Phone Rings, Episode 12 ended the Korean drama’s 12 episode run last night with its highest ever nationwide rating.
Nielsen Korea’s data shows When the Phone Rings, Episode 12 grabbed 8.6 percent — which is a slight increase from its previous episode’s all-time high rating of 8.3 percent.
In Seoul, however, the Korean drama’s ratings saw a tiny drop for its series finale, falling from Episode 11’s viewership of 8.8 percent to last night’s 8.5 percent.
Both ratings were still stellar, however, and contributed to the popular Korean drama earning very solid average ratings of 6.54 percent nationwide and 6.34 percent in Seoul per episode.
