Although the figures were lower than weekday ratings, it managed to score the highest percentile during its time slot and ranked the most viewed program among women between ages 10 and 50.
“The K2”’s first episode gained a flurry of positive reviews, and producing director Kwak Jung-hwan complimented the show’s two starring leads for working incredibly hard and maintaining a high level of performance.
Viewers have also raved about the cast’s acting, especially Yoona, who had faced doubts about her ability due to her status as a pop idol-turned-actress.
