This lackluster ratings in the prime time drama slot is getting to be such an embarrassment to even cover. Like a normal race but the participants are running three-legged, bumbling around hoping for a miracle that domestic audiences will return to the tube. This week saw two new dramas arrive in the formerly prestigious Wed-Thurs time slot and both feel like such comparative duds. MBC aired Terius Behind Me on Thurs with double the episode airings since Wed was quiet for Chuseok holidays still, and SBS did the same with Heart Surgeons. Terius got 6.3%, 7.6%, 6.1%, and 6.1% for its episodes while Heart Surgeon brought in 6.9%, 7.5%, 6.2%, and 6.5%. Already airing KBS drama The Ghost Detective continued languishing in third place with 2.6%, which was actually topped by cable channel OCN drama also dealing with ghosts The Guest which got 2.960. So far I’m riveted by Guest and plan to check out Terius over the weekend but this really makes me sad how drama ratings continue stay sunken.

Not bad rating for so ji sub. Just hope rating drama can pulled high and not going down like lovely horribly.
But The Ghost Detective is really great ! Park Eun Bin and Choi Daniel have a great chemistry.
Terius Behind Me is pretty funny. I like it too.
This week was weird, they released the episode only on Thursday.
Yes I like the ghost detective. It's a bit crazy but has a lot of heart. Park Eun Bin is really great in it and yes, lots of chemistry between her and Daniel Choi. It's sad to see it failing. But not surprising with the current drama landscape...
Teris is so cute. I watch it with zero expectation because there is a big gap of popularity. But Jung In Sun is so cute, even she act as single mom as in waikiki but her character is so endearing. Its good when you dont have a lead that stick out like a sore thumb. The storyline is refreshing. I think this will be my pick for Wed-Thur
The ghost detective and the guest is definitely the superior dramas terius is cute but had so many plot holes so guess its just gonna be a casual ff binge watch when im bored and i couldn't even sit through 30 mins of hearf surgeons YAWN
Public tv is dead at this point. Cable is the way to go.
At least the ratings are over 5 percent for both Terius and Heart Surgeons. We've recently had public channel dramas in second and third place with 2 and 3 percent. TvN is ruling them all and it's a cable channel!
For the way ratings are going these days, I think this is par for the course. Terrius was a fun easy watch. I don't have access to The Guest yet but am hearing good things. I just started Ghost Detective and am liking thus far.
The Guest and The Ghost detective are the best dramas in this time slot
Sad to hear that. Terius is awesome!
I liked Terius a lot. And considering I have dropped almost every drama at present, that's my cup of tea. Sometimes it depends on our moods and what we like at this point in time.
I am starting Life and watching Terius. Not even touching the other 2 dramas.
No need to be so pessimistic right out of the gate.
