The SBS Friday-Saturday drama “Love Scout“ has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the most-watched mini-series of the week. This surge in popularity follows the airing of its latest episode on January 24, which featured a pivotal moment in the relationship between the lead characters.
Ratings Soar After Emotional Confession
According to Nielsen Korea, “Love Scout” reached the top spot in its time slot with a nationwide rating of 11.0 percent. This marks the drama’s highest rating yet, surpassing previous Friday ratings and securing its position as the highest-rated mini-series this week. The increased viewership is likely attributed to the emotional developments in episode 7, where Kang Ji Yun (Han Ji Min) finally confessed her feelings to Yoo Eun Ho (Lee Jun Hyuk). The episode culminated in a heartfelt reunion, with the two sharing hugs and kisses.

The preview shows Kang Ji Yun emphasizing the need for secrecy, while Yoo Eun Ho finds it difficult to contain his excitement. This sets the stage for potential comedic and tense moments as they navigate their secret office romance. The episode 8 preview shows the pair trying to hide their relationship from their colleagues, hinting at potential humorous situations.
The question remains whether they can successfully maintain their professional facade or if their secret will be exposed. Viewers are eagerly awaiting tonight’s episode to see how their relationship unfolds amidst the pressures of their work environment.
