SBS weekend drama, 'Five Fingers' is doing well despite the recent issues surrounding the replacement of T-ara's Eunjung with actress Jin Se Yeon.

According to the AGB Nielson, the third episode of 'Five Fingers' that aired on the 25th, recorded 14.1%, which is a 1.4% increase since last week. The pilot episode aired on the 18th recorded a rating of 11.2% while the second episode saw its numbers jump to 12.7%.

It is not certain whether the increase in ratings is due to the controversy around the replacement of Eunjung or the building story line of the drama itself. However, in the end, despite the dispute, the drama is off to a strong start at already over 14% with its third episode.

On the other hand, MBC's 'May Queen', 'Five Fingers' competitor, recorded 11.3% for the pilot episode, 10.8% for the second episode, and 12% for the third, putting 'Five Fingers' into the lead.
