In its third week of broadcast, the KBS2 Mon-Tues drama "Dream High" has taken over the number 1 spot in viewer ratings out of all dramas in its same time slot.
According to AGB Nielson Media Research on the 18th, "Dream High" recorded a nation-wide viewer rating of 15.5% and a viewer rating of 17.0% in the capital city, the day before. Broadcasted in the same time slot, MBC's "Queen of Reversals" and SBS's "Athena: Goddess of War" both received the same nation-wide viewer rating of 14.7%.
Although Bae Yong Joon and Park Jin Young's much talked about joint project "Dream High" had started off on the 3rd with a viewer rating of 10.7%, the viewer rating rose higher and higher. With numerous Korean idol stars participating, its driving force lies with the various music and dance highlights shown that other dramas can't.
The production company explained, "It's been discovered that the genuine love situations and non-stop smiles of the protagonists gives the viewers a fresh feeling."
On the other hand, KBS1 TV's "Smile, Dong Hae" acquired first place in viewer ratings of all shows that aired that day at 33.7%.
Furthermore, the viewer rating data from a different survey company "TNmS" gave a total of 13.7% for "Dream High," 13.0% for "Athena: Goddess of War," 11.9% for the MBC drama "Queen of Reversals," and 33.7% for "Smile, Dong Hae."
