South Korean TV series The Kidnapping Day, Episode 5 ratings are out and, while the drama saw a slight drop in its ratings from its previous episode’s all-time high nationwide, it earned its highest rating yet in Seoul.
The latest numbers from Nielsen Korea show The Kidnapping Day, Episode 5 earned 3.49 percent of the audience share, which is slightly down from Episode 4’s high rating of 3.60 percent,and still a very solid rating for the black comedy.
In Seoul, however, the Yoon Kye Sang and Yoo Na-led drama earned its highest rating yet with a 3.45 percent of the rating, up from its previous episode’s 3.38 percent.
That rating placed the ENA drama in third place on cable TV for the day.
