JTBC’s “Snowdrop” premiered with an average nationwide rating of 2.985 percent on December 18 and a rating of 3.898 percent on December 19. Taking place in Seoul in 1987, the drama depicts the love story between Su Ho (Jung Hae In), a student at a prestigious university who rushes into a women’s university one day covered in blood, and Young Ro (BLACKPINK’s Jisoo), a student at the women’s university who hides and takes care of him despite facing danger under close surveillance.

MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama “The Red Sleeve” rose even further in popularity with an average nationwide rating of 13.3 percent for episode 12 on December 18. This breaks the drama’s previous record of 12.8 percent achieved with episode 11 on December 17.
