Welcome to another week of 'allkpop TV guide and Ratings', an exclusive feature that spotlights three popular Korean dramas. It will discuss ratings for each week's episodes, as well as provide brief recaps (with spoilers, so watch out!) of shows that we know allkpop readers are enjoying. We've got the three regular shows being recapped for this week — 'Deep-Rooted Tree' (starring Shin Se Kyung, Jang Hyuk, and Super Junior's Kim Kibum) and 'Man of Honor' (starring Park Min Young and Chun Jung Myung), as well as tvN's romantic comedy, 'Flower Boy Ramyun Shop' (starring Jung Il Woo, Lee Chung Ah, and Lee Ki Woo). [Note: We will not be including 'Flower Boy Ramyun Shop' in the ratings recap as it is a cable show and therefore has different standards for ratings.] ———– The Monday-Tuesday prime time slot saw SBS's 'Thousand Day Promise' fall back while KBS's medical drama 'Brain' make big leaps to close the gap between them. 'Brain' was able to record a 12.6% in ratings, but 'Thousand Day Promise' managed to hold onto its 1st place spot with its 15.3%. Meanwhile, MBC's 'Light and Shadow' remained in last place with a rating of 9%. But this throwback-inspired drama likely won't likely stay in the single digits for long, as 'Thousand Day Promise' ends it broadcast next week. SBS's historical mystery drama, 'Deep-Rooted Tree', nears its finale this week, which will mean that many of its plot threads will finally be weaved into a comprehensive tapestry. For this week, the drama reached 21.9%. KBS's 'Man of Honor' is also nearing its finale as it keeps a respectable rating of 14.6%. Unfortunately, MBC's 'I'm a Flower, Too' hardly seems to have budged, as it remains in last place with a 6.3%. ———– [ Here be spoilers ]       !!!!! ———– ?
