SBS' action series "City Hunter" ended its two month run this week, maintaining its spot at No. 1 on the Wednesday and Thursday primetime lineup for the fifth straight week.

Total National Media Research (TNmS) on Friday revealed that "City Hunter," starring Lee Min-ho and Park Min-young, posted an average viewership rating of 18.2 percent, while AGB Nielsen Media Research showed an average of 18.4 percent.

The last episode showed how the cold-hearted Jin-pyo (Kim Sang-joong) took a bullet which was meant for Yoon-sung (Lee Min-ho).

New SBS series "Protect the Boss," featuring Ji-sung, Choi Kang-hee, Wang Ji-hye and Kim Jae-joong, will take over the Wednesday and Thursday spot starting next week.

KBS' new series "The Princess' Man," starring Park Si-hoo and Moon Chae-won, held onto its position in second place with viewership ratings in the nine to mid-ten percentile range.

Meanwhile, MBC's "Heartstrings," starring Park Shin-hye and Jung Yong-hwa, continued to trail behind scoring viewership ratings in the five percent range.
