The new Korean murder mystery Longing for You, Episode 2 aired on ENA in South Korea last night, with the K-drama seeing a rise in ratings both nationally and in Seoul.
According to the latest Nielsen Korea figures Longing for You, Episode 2 ratings saw a substantial rise from the drama’s first episode of 1.40 percent to last night’s 1.87 percent nationwide.
In Seoul, the ratings for Longing for You, Episode 2 were 1.81 percent, which is an increase from the drama’s previous episode ratings of 1.35 percent.
As the ratings for the second episode of a substantial number of Korean dramas tend to fall, that Longing for You‘s ratings have risen is very promising for the mystery drama going forward.
Not surprising that the drama’s ratings have risen though, as the plot of the Na In Woo-led drama has been quite intense since the drama’s first episode premiered on Wednesday.

A murder case that seems relatively “normal” until his younger brother Oh Jin Woo (Ren) becomes involved.
