The second season of the comedy crime K-drama The Fiery Priest 2 is still grabbing big ratings in South Korea.

Last night, The Fiery Priest 2, Episode 3 earned 10.7 percent of the nation audience — up from its previous episode’s 10.1 percent — and making it the #2 most-watched show for all of Friday.

Meanwhile, viewers in Seoul tuned into the Korean drama in even higher numbers, with The Fiery Priest 2, Episode 3 earning 11.1 percent of the audience — up from last week’s 10.6 percent, and making it the #1 most-watched show on Friday.

Those ratings, of course, have not yet gone back to the 11.9 percent nationwide/12.4 percent in Seoul the SBS drama earned for its first episode on November 8th but, my guess is, once the ratings settle down, they will quickly surpass them.

In both regions.
