Buried Hearts highest rated show of the week
With just three more episodes left to air, Korean drama Buried Hearts, Episode 13 earned its highest ever ratings last night — both in the Seoul metropolitan area and with viewers nationwide.
According to data released by Nielsen Korea early this morning, Buried Hearts, Episode 13 grabbed 14.0 percent of the nationwide audience share on Friday night.
That’s up from the K-drama’s previous high of 13.1 percent for Episode 10.
The latest episode of the SBS revenge drama also earned its highest rating in Seoul, with 13.4 percent of the viewership, compared to its previous high of 13.0 percent for Episode 10.
And not only that, but Buried Hearts was also the most watched show of any kind on Friday in both regions, and the highest-rated show of the entire week so far.
Yay, eh?
Buried Hearts still popular with international viewers
Meanwhile, according to Flix Patrol, the Korean drama is still in the Top 10 on Disney+ in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.
It is also earning a solid 8.3 out of 10 from viewers on My Drama List — a great rating from the often disgruntled users of that Asian drama-focused site.

Comments too are more interested in what the hell is going on, rather than critiquing the drama itself. Especially after the most recent episode.
They range from:
The ending of episode 13 completely blew me away. I was left utterly speechless!waaaaah
to
NO. JUST NO. THAT BETTER NOT BE THE END OF ILDO’S CHARACTER.
After all that manipulation????
and
I still can’t find it in myself to understand Secretary Gong. Who the fuck is she? And why does she treat Deokhui as a kid? Always running to hug her as if she were a child.
And Kopiko made it to episode 13 once again🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️
I did laugh at the last bit as, Ye Gods, how many times is effing Kopiko going to show up in the drama?
They must have paid a fortune for the product placement.
The next episode of Buried Hearts, which stars Park Hyung Sik, Huh Joon Ho, Lee Hae Young, and Hong Hwa Yeon, hits later on tonight on SBS in South Korea, and on Disney+ internationally.
And, the way this thing is going, I have a feeling the ratings may be even higher then, as it is hella addictive.
