The Korean drama Doubt, Episode 2 aired last night on MBC in South Korea, but saw a drop in ratings compared to its first episode on Friday night.

Don’t panic, though, as the Kdrama airs in the same time slot as the massively popular The Judge From Hell on SBS, so a drop in ratings from Friday to Saturday was to be expected.

Doubt, Episode 2 did still earn a solid audience share though, with the Kdrama garnering 4.7 percent of the viewership nationwide and 4.3 percent in Seoul.

Unfortunately for the MBC drama, it will continue to air opposite The Judge From Hell until November 2nd when the SBS show ends.

But, as the Korean drama is pulling in excellent reviews, both nationally and internationally, chances are we will still see rising ratings from here.

Doubt stars Han Suk Kyu, Chae Won Bin, Han Ye Ri, and Oh Yeon Soo.

The Kdrama’s next episode will air next Friday, October 18th, with both Viki and KOCOWA streaming the latest episode for their international subscribers.
