The World of the Married Shatters Cable Ratings Ending with 28.271% in Final Episode 16

The legs on this drama, now I wonder what it could have done if it was a 20-episode drama like former cable network ratings champion Sky Castle. Hit jTBC Fri-Sat drama The World of the Married signed off today with its final episode 16 bringing in 28.261% ratings. That’s so high in the stratosphere I don’t even know how to compare it, and former cable rating leader Sky Castle ended with 23.779% which is also impressive but it was obtained with a 20 episode run. The World of the Married ratings means over 1 in 4 households that subscribed to cable was watching it, amazing and such a well earned win for female lead Kim Hee Ae who rightfully so is getting majority of the acclaim for bringing in viewers with her strong performance. When drama ratings were free falling during the 2013-2015 era there was a time when I wondered if K-dramas were headed for the graveyard but I’m so glad I stuck around to see there are still peaks to go along with the valleys.

  • I m happy for park hae joon too. He will get lead roles now. Kim hee ae is top actress over 30 ywars bow and now again repeaked. What a longevity. On side note what selfish set of parents. Never cared about child's mental health andonly about their revenge.
    drama averaged over 18.8% rating it is like peak episode rating of sunshine reply and goblin. It is average for this drama. What the hell . It is massive????a very well made drama. If kim hee ae doesnt wins grand prize, it will be robbery

  • Great acting is the main point of this drama. No hype no fancy fringes no nothing, simple as it can be....

  • I haven't watched the original so I can't compare. Made me nervous all the time as it's unpredictable. Worried for Sun Woo's mental and psychological state in the early episodes, thought she's gonna go crazy. Tae Oh is shameless, hated his character.

    Congrats team world of the married couple!

  • Also male lead is very attractive. I never found him hot before but he was really a hot daddy in this show???

  • Never thought SC would be overtaken in ratings this soon and now you have to wonder what could possibly top this drama in ratings.

  • This record is hard to beat. JTBC is slowly becoming the face of cable television. In the past, it is only tVN but time ran so fast for them to be replaced in an instant.

  • Best drama ever. Great writing, directing and acting. I give a "special compliment" to Kim Hee Ae who will win multiple Daesangs for her awesome performance. Average ratings : 18,83 %. The hype is no joke. It would be hard to beat it soon.

  • No one mentioned that this drama also popular worldwide... they did great on tv and online. Trending on Twitter and got many viewers on viu. Is it available on Netflix too??? 28% on cable.. even this year weekday dramas on national tv only got 21 or 23%, camelia and dr kim. Chukae... a daesang to get back home.
