As the Korean drama Doctor Slump continues its up and down ratings, the latest episode of the JTBC drama aired in South Korea last night.

As you might expect with its erratic performance, the Doctor Slump, Episode 15 ratings saw a substantial drop from its previous episode.

That fall saw the Doctor Slump Episode 15 ratings nationwide drop from its previous episode’s 6.32 percent to last night’s viewership of just 4.95 percent.

That’s the lowest rating the medical-themed rom-com has earned since its 6th episode.

The Korean drama’s performance with Seoul viewers was similar, with Episode 15 falling from its 14th episode’s 7.19 percent, to last night’s audience share of 5.93 percent.

Not quite as low as its nationwide performance, but disappointing to say it was the superb Korean drama’s penultimate episode, and it featured that lovely scene. (You know the one!)

The K-drama still continues to be one of Netflix’s current big hits, however, as it has been on the Top 10 Non-English TV Shows chart on the streaming platform since it premiered on January 27th, and was still sitting at #5 last week.

Doctor Slump‘s final episode will air on JTBC in South Korea later on tonight.

Let’s hope it goes out with one of its highest ratings, as the Park Hyung Sik, Park Shin Hye, Yoon Park, and Gong Seong Ha-led drama has been one of the better ones of 2024.

The Korean drama’s final episode will stream on Netflix for its international subscriber in the next few hours.
