'You are My Destiny' Viewer Ratings at 30%
The KBS 1TV daily drama "You are My Destiny" reached viewer ratings of 30% for the first time.
According to the TV ratings research company AGB Nielson Media Research, "You are My Destiny" recorded national ratings of 31.6% on August 5th. The drama began airing on May 5th at 24.8%, but its ratings had fallen into the 10% range since then.
Starring Girls Generation member Yoon A and actor Park Jae-seong, "You are My Destiny" finally unveiled the blossoming love between their characters, Sae-byeok and Ho-se, complicating their relationships with two other love interests, Tae-poong (Lee Ji-hoon) and Soo-bin (Gong Hyun-joo).
The previous drama which had aired in the same time slot, "I Hate You, But I Don't," ended with ratings of 40%. Although "You are My Destiny" started out with much lower ratings, it is showing promise of catching up to the previous show.
