“My Fellow Citizens” Premiere Gives “Haechi” A Run For No. 1 In Time Slot

Apr 2, 2019

KBS 2TV’s newest Monday-Tuesday drama “My Fellow Citizens” aired its first episodes on April 1, kicking off No. 2 in its time slot.

“My Fellow Citizens,” starring Super Junior’s Choi Siwon and Lee Yoo Young, is about a married couple who have no idea what their spouse really does for a living. He (Choi Siwon) is a conman, and she (Lee Yoo Young) is a police officer.

According to Nielsen Korea, the first two half-hour episodes recorded a viewership of 6.8 and 7.5 percent respectively. This is a slight decline from “My Lawyer, Mr. Joe 2,” which hit 7.9 and 9.4 percent with its finale last week.

The drama falls in second place with these ratings, although it’s not far behind the current No. 1 drama in the time slot, “Haechi,” which barely stayed ahead with 7.2 and 8.1 percent for its Monday episodes.

Meanwhile, MBC’s “The Item” remains in third place with ratings of 3.8 and 4.8 percent.
