K-Drama Ratings Wrap: Three Series Conclude on a High as a Year-End Slump Hits Newcomers
A look at K-drama viewership ratings for the week of Dec 15-21, 2025. While three shows ended on a high, most others, including the new drama 'Love Me,' saw a slight dip in numbers.
The K-drama landscape saw a mix of triumphant finales and quiet downturns during the week of December 15-21, 2025. According to a report from Dramabeans, three popular shows—'Don’t Call Me Ma’am,' 'Heroes Next Door,' and 'Moon River'—celebrated strong exits, closing their curtains with impressive viewership ratings.
While fans celebrated these successful conclusions, the positive momentum didn't extend across the board. The report notes that most other ongoing series experienced a slight drop in viewership compared to the previous week. Unfortunately, this trend also affected the premiere of 'Love Me,' which made its debut with a dip, signaling a challenging start in a competitive end-of-year market.
