“Giant” dominates TV charts for 7th week

TV series "Giant" [SBS]

SBS TV series “Giant” remained the No.1 choice for viewers of Monday and Tuesday prime time dramas for the seventh consecutive week in a row.

According to findings by National Multimedia Statistics (TNmS), SBS “Giant” ranked first with an average viewership rating of 30.45 percent, making it the second week the drama has maintained its score beyond the 30 percent mark.

MBC TV series “Queen of Reversals” came second on TNmS' chart with an average viewership of 11.8 percent.

The drama, the second season to last year's hit series "Queen of Housewives" starring Kim Nam-joo, has steadily seen its popularity gain since pushing into the double-digit range.

Following in third place was KBS series “Marry me, Mary,” which began its run a week ago, with an average rating of 7.8 percent, a slight improvement from last week’s 6.8 percent but not enough to catch up with the two other competitors.

In contrast, data by research firm AGB Nielson Media Research showed “Giant” was the top drama but less than one percentile short from breaching the 30 percent mark.

Their survey yielded higher marks for the other two dramas however; 14 percent for “Queen of Reversals” and 8.9 percent for “Marry Me, Mary."
