Boyhood reached a high of 1.458% for its finale and that marks the end of the previous batch of primetime offerings. I don’t have any vested interest in the shows that are currently on the air though it seems like Anti-Terrorism Special Forces II comes out on top a little more often with Deepwater Forces and Tracks in the Snow Forest seeking to overtake competition at every turn.
All the shows honestly look the same to me, but I’d place my bets on Anti-Terrorism just because it’s headlined by Victor Huang who was the 5th Prince in Nirvana in Fire.
Princess Agents maintained its lead all the way to the end with ratings of 1.760% and 1.841%. It’s a weak finish compared to previous weeks that were averaging above 2%. Sports drama My Mr. Mermaid broke past 1% on the days where it got a nice lead in from Princess Agents but has trended down for the remainder of the week. Lost Love in Times shot up to first place last Thursday, which was actually a nice surprise.
The above are mostly primetime shows that air at 19:30 while those highlighted in blue air at 22:00. **Rankings are overall rankings across the shows airing on the same night, regardless of air time.

Princess Agents lower ratings are due to Hunan changing its airing time to an hour later and it also explains My Mr. Mermaid high ratings since they put My. Mr. Mermaid in Princess Agents time-slot and didn't advertise the change.
They did the same thing with Song of Phoenix and In The Name of People, the drama had some really good ratings for the first few days then it shot down. One of those Hunan tricks that makes me dislike them. Zero respect for the cast/crew of a drama to mess with their time-slot and ratings like that.
It seems that after PA ended ratings are looking pretty grim across the board. No drama even hitting 0.9. I have a feeling this will change once the new batch of drama hits the screen next week.

Hunan really destroyed Princess Agents ratings with all that scheduling mess.
Lost Love in Times ratings are OK. Not great, not terrible but I assume they were expecting more with the cast and director.
I need some fluff after my most recent Korean Drama Seven Day Queen ended and broke my heart :-(((
