MBC drama Black Out, Episode 6 aired last night to its highest Saturday ratings yet.

Nielsen Korea is reporting Black Out, Episode 6 earned 4.8 percent of the ratings nationwide, which is a solid increase from its previous Saturday ratings of 4.4 percent.

Audiences in Seoul also tuned in to the show in higher numbers compared to its previous Saturday episode, with Episode 6 garnering 4.2 percent of the viewership compared to last week’s 3.8 percent.

Considering the Kdrama’s Saturday show’s ratings are usually lower than those on Friday, to see an increase in both regions is excellent news.

Black Out, which is based on the German novel Snow White Must Die, stars Byun Yo Han, Ko Jun, Go Bo Gyeol, and Kim Bo Ra.

The Kdrama’s next episode will air on Friday, September 6th on MBC with Hulu streaming it for its subscribers.
