The ENA drama Dear Hyeri, Episode 10 aired in South Korea on Tuesday night to new all-time high ratings. This as the K-drama heads into its final week.

Ratings for Dear Hyeri, Episode 10 were 3.58 percent nationwide — an increase from Episode 9’s audience share of 3.30 percent.

In Seoul, however, while the K-drama’s ratings increased versus its previous episode, it still did not earn ratings as high as those it garnered for Episode 8 (last night’s 3.70 percent versus Episode 8’s 4.11 percent), which is its highest rating in that region yet.,

Both ratings though were substantially higher than the 2.02/2.38 percent the Korean drama earned for its first episode.

In other words, with just two episodes left to air, hopefully the superb ENA drama will earn even higher ratings yet.

Shin Hye Sun and Dear Hyeri on Most Buzzworthy lists

Meanwhile Shin Hye Sun, the K-drama’s star, is currently at #4 on this week’s Buzzworthy Drama Actors chart in South Korea, while Dear Hyeri itself also sits at #4 on the Buzzworthy Dramas list.

Proving interest in both Dear Hyeri and its star is still very high as the K-drama heads towards its close.

Something that is not remotely surprising as the drama looks at the hardships of real people in real troubled relationships, rather than the unicorns and fairies we often get in Korean dramas.

The final two episodes of the superbly-written and acted Dear Hyeri will air on ENA on October w8th and 29th at 22:00 (KST), and stream on Genie TV.

Outside Korea, the Shin Hye Sun/Lee Jin Wook/Kang Hoon-led drama is streaming on Viki where it is earning a high 8.8 out of 10 from more than 2,500 viewers.
