"Forest" Stays Steady In Viewership Ratings + New Trot Variety Show Records Incredible Premiere
While “Forest” continues to be the most-watched drama of Wednesday night, Wednesday-Thursday dramas now face competition from trot variety shows on both nights.
According to Nielsen Korea, the March 4 episode of KBS’s “Forest” recorded average nationwide ratings of 4.8 and 4.5 percent. This is a 0.1 percent decrease from last week, showing that the drama remains steady from week to week in its time slot.
MBC’s “The Game: Towards Zero,” which airs an hour earlier, recorded ratings of 3.0 and 4.0 percent, a 0.1 percent increase from last week.
In the same time slot as “Forest,” SBS aired the first episode of its new variety show “K-Trot in Town,” replacing Lee Dong Wook’s talk show “Because I Want to Talk.” Trot music has been enjoying a new wave in South Korea due to the popularity of TV Chosun’s shows “Miss Trot” and “Mister Trot” (which airs on Thursdays). “K-Trot in Town’s” premiere episode recorded an incredible viewership rating of 9.2 percent in the first half and 14.9 percent in the second half.
