Even though Korean drama Welcome to Samdalri, Episode 7 had a ratings drop last night in South Korea, its ratings were still perfectly respectable for a drama that is not even halfway through.
The K-drama also ended up at #1 in its time slot for the night.
According to the latest data from Nielsen Korea, Welcome to Samdalri, Episode 7 earned 6.38 percent of the audience share on Saturday night.
That is a drop from its previous episode’s highest ever-rating of 8.29 percent, but still quite a bit higher than the 5.19 percent it earned for Episode 1.
