JTBC drama seires “Itaewon Class” took the top spot of the most-watched list, and tvN’s “Crash Landing on You” and “Hi Bye, Mama!” followed in second and third places.
Cable channel tvN’s “Reply 1988,” “Hotel Del Luna” and “Memories of the Alhambra” took fifth, sixth and ninth place. SBS’s “Vagabond” finished off the list in 10th.
