Good Partner Ep 12 continues reign as #1 show of any kind on Friday

Not only was Good Partner, Episode 12 the most-watched drama on Friday night in South Korea, beating its rival Black Out by almost 10.00 percentage points, it also continued its reign as the #1 show on Friday.

Of any kind.

According to the latest data via Nielsen Korea, Good Partner, Episode 12 earned 14.4 percent of the nationwide audience on Friday evening.

That viewership is down from last Friday’s 15.5 percent, but was still enough to place the Kdrama in the #1 spot as the most-watched show nationwide of any kind for all of Friday.

The Kdrama also performed similarly in Seoul, grabbing 14.8 percent of the viewership compared to last week’s 16.0 percent.

Considering the Jang Na Ra, Nam Ji Hyun-led drama began its run on July 12th with just 7.8 percent of the nationwide audience and 8.1 percent in Seoul, it is admirable how much higher it has been able to climb.

In addition to the aforementioned Jang Na Ra and Nam Ji Hyun, Good Partner also stars Kim Jun Han, Pyo Ji Hoon, Ji Seung Hyun, and Han Jae Yi.

The next episode of Good Partner will air on SBS in South Korea this evening, with Viki streaming it internationally.
