Dr. Romantic 3, Episode 12 ratings rise as Kang Dong Joo returns
It appears the rumor about Kang Dong Joo (played by Yoo Yeon Seok) returning in Dr. Romantic 3 grabbed people’s attention so much, the drama ended up with its highest ratings for this season yet last night in Korea.
And yep, there he was rewarding everyone who tuned in for it.
That alone seems to have caused the Dr. Romantic 3, Episode 12 ratings to shoot up a full percentage point nationwide, with a .4 percent increase in Seoul.
According to Nielsen Korea, those ratings for Dr. Romantic 3 were 14.4 percent nationwide, and 14.2 percent in Seoul.
And with just four more episodes to go before the third season of the hit medical drama ends, it is likely those ratings will go even higher.
Especially as Yoo Yeon Seok will be back next week.
