The ongoing SBS drama Good Partner, Episode 5 aired on Friday night to its usual high ratings.

This time, via data from Nielsen Korea, Good Partner, Episode 5 earned 12.1 percent of the audience share nationwide.

That is a drop from its previous episode’s 13.7 percent viewership, but still a high enough rating to place the K-drama in first place on Korean TV in its time slot.

In Seoul, the SBS drama performed even better, grabbing 13.2 percent of the audience — a drop from Episode 4’s 14.1 percent, but still in first place as well.

Good Partner, Episode 6 will not air tonight

Unfortunately for Good Partner fans, SBS has decided to take a break from showing the Korean drama for the next three weeks due to their ongoing coverage of the Paris Olympics.

That means Episode 6 of Good Partner will not air until August 16th when the Olympics finally ends.

Here, however, are some of the dramas you can watch instead.

Good Partner stars Jang Na Ra, Nam Ji Hyun, Kim Jun Han, Pyo Ji Hoon, Ji Seung Hyun, and Han Jae Yi.

The Korean legal-themed drama began airing on SBS on July 12th, and will now run through September 20th due to the show’s three-week Olympics break.
