'Doctor Cha' on Track to Break 'Itaewon Class' JTBC Viewer Ratings Record

AKP STAFF

'Doctor Cha' starring Uhm Jung Hwa, is expected to break the viewer ratings records set by the popular drama 'Itaewon Class.' 'Doctor Cha' has risen to 5th place on JTBC's all-time popular drama ranking with a sharp rise in viewership.

According to a May 8 Nielsen Korea report, the 8th episode of JTBC's Saturday and Sunday drama 'Doctor Cha' which aired on May 7, recorded a viewer rating of 16.181%. This is a 3.307% increase from the 12.874% recorded in episode 7.

The drama recorded 4.937% in the first episode, but the viewership rating tripled after 8 episodes. The drama has steadily gained popularity through word-of-mouth recommendations of viewers and has been setting new personal bests in each progressing episode.


'Doctor Cha' is poised to surpass 'Itaewon Class,' which ranked 4th in JTBC's all-time viewers' rating. 'Itaewon Class' recorded a peak 16.548% viewer rating, and this figure corresponds to its last episode, so it is only a matter of time before 'Doctor Cha' surpasses the record. 'Doctor Cha' is a drama with 16 episodes and has been broadcasted up to 8 episodes, and now it is turning around the halfway point.

As there are still 8 more episodes left until the end, some experts are expecting 'Doctor Cha' to surpass the records set by 'SKY Castle,' which ranks in 3rd place on JTBC's all-time popular drama ranking with a peak viewership rating of 23.8%. In second place for JTBC is 'Reborn Rich' which enjoyed a peak viewer rating of 26.9% and in first place is 'World of The Married' which recorded a peak 28.4% viewer rating.

I wasn't planning on watching this one, but I watched the first two episodes and I was hooked. Now I'm upset that I have to wait till next week to watch the next episode.
