SBS’s “49 Days” finally became #1 among the mid-week dramas with the ending of “Royal Family”.

According to ratings company AGB Nielsen, the April 28 episode of “49 Days” had a nationwide rating of 12.9%, a rise of 1.2% from the previous episode.  In spite of the stunning reversal in the ending of “Royal Family”, ”49 Days” still defeated “Royal Family” and claimed the #1 spot.

In Episode 14 of “49 Days, others are starting to suspect Song Yi-Kyung is really Shin Ji-Hyun.  In-Jung sees YK’s handwriting is the same as JH’s and is very shocked.  She says: “Somehow feels there is JH in YK.” and begins to have doubts about YK’s identity.  And Min-Ho is also starting to suspect YK’s real identity, creating suspense in the drama.

The other two dramas in the same time slot have the following nationwide ratings: MBC’s “Royal Family”- 12.2% and KBS’s “Thorn Birds”- 11.0%.

 AGB          Nationwide -  12.9%          Seoul – 14.1%

TNS          Nationwide – 12.3%          Seoul – 14.3%

SBS’s “49 Days” and KBS’s “Thorn Birds” are battling for second place among the Wed./Thu. dramas.

According to ratings company AGB Nielsen, nationwide ratings for  the April 27 episodes of “Thorn Birds” and “49 Days” are 11.9% and 11.7% respectively.  “Thorn Birds” was last in the previous week but has overtaken “49 Days” by 0.2% to return to second place, leaving “49 Days” in third place again.

None of the mid-week dramas can be considered “super-hit dramas”, so their differences in ratings are not great.  Although MBC’s “Royal Family” with 13.4% is safely enthroned in #1, but its average rating is just around 13%, only 2% ahead of its competitors.  “Royal Family” is nearing its end, so the battle for the #2 spot is really heating up.

 TNS        Nationwide – 12.3%         Seoul – 14.3%

AGB              Nationwide – 11.7%             Seoul – 12.5%
