The tvN drama The Queen Who Crowns, Episode 7 hit its lowest ever ratings last night, as the K-drama headed into its second half.
According to the latest data from Nielsen Korea, The Queen Who Crowns, Episode 7 earned 4.07 percent of the national viewership — down from Episode 6’s rating of 5.21 percent.
Meanwhile, the K0rean drama’s Seoul ratings were also down to 4.07 percent — down from its previous episode’s 4.99 percent.
That being said, The Queen Who Crowns was still the #1 most-watched show in its time slot, and its Monday episode has always earned lower ratings than its Tuesday.
Including for its first episode, which also aired on a Monday evening.
That likely means then that the ratings for the K-drama will be rising back up again tonight.
