Last night’s The Atypical Family, Episode 8 aired on JTBC in South Korea to a new personal all-time high rating nationwide.
The fantasy romance mini-drama grabbed 4.24 percent of the nationwide audience, which is an increase from Saturday night’s much lower 3.48 percent.
The rating also put the K-drama in first place in its time slot on cable TV.
