See You at Work Tomorrow Hits New Ratings High as Monday-Tuesday Dramas Climb

tvN’s See You at Work Tomorrow! has reached a new personal best in the Monday-Tuesday drama race, adding another sign of steady momentum for the series as Korean weekday dramas continue to draw competitive audiences.

According to Soompi’s report citing Nielsen Korea, episode 5 of See You at Work Tomorrow! recorded an average nationwide viewership rating of 4.8 percent. That marked a 0.3 percentage-point increase from the previous episode’s 4.5 percent and became the drama’s highest rating so far.

The rise is notable because it came at a point when early viewer habits are still forming. For many Korean dramas, the first several episodes are a test of whether curiosity can turn into routine viewing. A new high by episode 5 suggests that the audience has not only held but expanded after the opening stretch.

A Competitive Weekday Slot

See You at Work Tomorrow! was not the only Monday-Tuesday drama to move upward. ENA’s Doctor on the Edge also posted a gain with its second-to-last episode, reaching an average nationwide rating of 4.9 percent. That was up 0.1 percentage point from its previous 4.8 percent result.

The two numbers are close enough to show a lively field rather than a one-show runaway. Doctor on the Edge remains slightly ahead in the latest reported nationwide average, but See You at Work Tomorrow! has the fresher growth headline because it set a series record. For viewers tracking the weekday ratings conversation, both dramas gave their networks something to point to.

Ratings changes at this scale can look small on paper, but they matter in context. Korean television ratings are often read week by week, and even modest gains can indicate stronger word of mouth, more stable live viewing, or successful retention after an earlier episode. A 0.3 percentage-point lift is especially useful for a drama still building its identity in the schedule.

Why the Momentum Matters

For tvN, the latest result gives See You at Work Tomorrow! a clearer narrative: the show is still climbing. That can affect how a drama is discussed online, how clips circulate, and how casual viewers decide whether to catch up. A new high does not guarantee a long-term breakout, but it does make the series harder to ignore.

For ENA, Doctor on the Edge‘s late-stage increase is a different kind of positive signal. A ratings bump before the final episode can point to heightened interest in the ending and can help a drama close with a stronger overall impression. Finale-week performance often shapes how a title is remembered after the broadcast run ends.

The shared upward movement also says something broader about weekday drama viewing. Monday and Tuesday slots can be challenging because they compete with workweek routines, streaming backlogs, and fragmented attention. When multiple dramas rise in the same window, it suggests viewers are still willing to make time for appointment-style television when the shows give them a reason to return.

For fans of the actors and production teams, the latest figures offer a simple takeaway: both dramas are entering their next chapters with momentum. See You at Work Tomorrow! has a new benchmark to beat, while Doctor on the Edge heads toward its finale with its audience still engaged.

The next ratings update will show whether See You at Work Tomorrow! can keep pushing beyond 4.8 percent and whether Doctor on the Edge can turn its penultimate-episode lift into a strong finish. For now, the Monday-Tuesday drama field looks healthier than quiet, and that is good news for viewers who like seeing more than one series in the conversation.
