Iron Family Ep 36 earns HIGHEST RATING EVER as series finale airs

As I predicted yesterday when the Korean drama’s penultimate episode showed high ratings on Saturday night, the series finale of the Iron Family weekend drama aired last night to the highest rating of its entire run.

Not a surprise as, not only was Iron Family the #1 show of any kind in South Korea every week since it premiered on September 28th, 2024, its audience began growing from its first episode and then kept on growing.

That’s why Iron Family, Episode 36 aired last night to its highest nationwide rating of 19.7 percent, compared to the KBS2 drama’s already incredibly high 18.3 percent of the viewership for Episode 35.

Audiences in Seoul also tuned into Iron Family, Episode 36 in high numbers — desperate to see how this excellent drama ended.

That earned the K-drama 18.2 percent of that region’s viewers, which is a substantial increase from Episode 35’s rating of 16.4 percent.

Last night’s large audiences also meant Iron Family ended its run with an exceptionally high average rating per episode of 16.4 percent nationwide and 15.1 percent in Seoul.

Congratulations to the entire Iron Family cast and crew!
