The Korean legal drama Queen of Divorce, Episode 4 ratings are in and, as expected, they stayed solid compared to the K-drama’s previous episode.

Of course the third episode of Queen of Divorce hit an all-time ratings high for the JTBC drama on Wednesday night in South Korea, with 5.75 percent of the audience share.

But, as Queen of Divorce, Episode ratings show the K-drama grabbed 5.68 percent of the nationwide audience, ie: such a tiny drop it really isn’t one, it appears this superb K-drama’s audience isn’t going anywhere.

The same occurred in the K-drama’s Seoul ratings where, according to Nielsen Korea, the fourth episode of the Lee Ji Ah and Kang Ki Young-led drama earned 5.51 percent of the viewership, almost the same as its previous episode’s all-time high of 5.64 percent.
