MBC's historical epic "Dong Yi - Jewel in the Crown" held onto its position atop TV charts for the 17th consecutive week, despite a sudden drop in viewership ratings.
Figures from TNmS (Total National Multimedia Statistics) on Wednesday indicated that "Dong Yi," into its 40th episode, brought in ratings of 23.9 percent on August 2 and dropped by extra 0.8 percent the next day, suffering a dip of an average 5.7 percent compared to last week.
This week's episode focused on how Dong Yi (Han Hyo-joo) leaves the palace after receiving a personal apology from Queen Inhyeon (Park Ha-sun).
Meanwhile, SBS' series "Giant," starring Lee Bum-soo, Park Jin-hee and Hwang Jung-eum, experienced a spike in viewership ratings this week, following closely behind “Dong Yi.”
