Two dramas ended their runs on Sunday night in South Korea with big viewership increases, and all-time high ratings.
One was A Virtuous Business, and the other was Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born — the tvN drama that was pulling in large audiences right from its very first episode – and just went out with a huge bang last night.
That’s because data from Nielsen Korea shows Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born, Episode 12 grabbing a massive ratings increase last night — both nationwide and from audiences in Seoul.
Nationwide, that meant the Korean musical-themed drama earned 16.45 percent of the audience share — up from Saturday night’s already high rating of 12.76 percent.
Meanwhile, audiences in Seoul were even more determined to see how the K-drama ended, as 17.09 percent of them tuned in on Sunday night — compared to the 13.46 percent who watched on Saturday night.
Those numbers also mean the average rating per episode of Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born is 11.31 percent nationwide, and 12.14 percent in Seoul.
Damn good numbers from the ladies then, eh?

It’s not just the Nielsen Korea ratings in South Korea where Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born has excelled either.
The drama also hit #1 on the Buzzworthy Drama list earlier in the month, while star Kim Tae Ri also climbed to #1 on the Buzzworthy Drama Actors list.
And this month, of course, there’s this…
