The Korean romantic comedy Love Next Door, Episode 7 aired last night on tvN in South Korea to become the #1 show in its time slot, even though its ratings were the lowest it has received since it premiered on August 17th.

Oddly, those ratings also dropped from Friday night’s all-time high nationwide rating of 6.7 percent to last night’s all-time low.

Those ratings on Saturday night were 3.97 percent nationwide, and a higher 4.42 percent in Seoul.

On Netflix, however, the Kdrama is still performing superbly as it is currently on the Netflix Top 10 Most-Watched Non-English TV Shows chart for the third week.

This time in the #5 spot after hitting the Top 10 in 44 countries, and with 3.7 million views and a total of 22.2 million hours viewed.

The Korean drama is also being rated high by international viewers, with users of the Asian drama site My Drama List currently awarding Love Next Door a very high 8.8 out of 10, while IMDB users are rating it a solid 8.4 out of 10.

Love Next Door stars Jung Hae In and Jung So Min.

Episode 8 will air later on tonight, both on tvN and on Netflix.
