Gumiho Girlfriend goes out on top

by javabeans

The ratings switched around for Thursday’s drama broadcasts, placing SBS’s fantasy-romantic-comedy series My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho in first place with a 19.9% as the drama concluded its run. (No spoilers in this post.) KBS’s action-comedy Runaway Plan B slipped a few percentage points but maintained a strong showing with a 17.9%.

Runaway had been the winner just the day before with a 20.7% premiere, but looks like a lot of people were curious about the fate of Gumiho‘s “hoi couple” (Shin Mina and Lee Seung-gi), and wanted to see if we would get our happy ending or not. (Warning: PLEASE do not spoil the ending in this post. The recap will be up soon enough, and you can wait a few measly hours, right? You can do eet!)

I’m pretty sure Runaway will be back solidly on top next week — even though that’s when SBS’s new challenger, Daemul, premieres.

The good news even extends toward perennial last-place drama Playful Kiss, which managed a relatively high 7.5% for its tenth episode. That means both My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho and Playful Kiss recorded their series highs, making it a pretty good showing all around.
