According to Nielsen Korea, episode 6 of "My Royal Enemy" achieved a viewership rating of 10.3%, exceeding the two-digit mark for the first time since its broadcast.
In the new episode, the relationship between Cha Se Gye (Heo Nam Jun) and Shin Seo Ri (Lim Ji Yeon) continues to change after a trip to Jeju (Korea). While Seo Ri gradually becomes moved by Se Gye's sincere care, the male lead also increasingly reveals his feelings more frankly.
One of the notable scenes is when Se Gye is jealous because Seo Ri's advertising costume is too sexy. After that, he continues to secretly follow her closely at the company party and actively search when she gets lost.
In particular, the kissing scene at the end of the episode between the two characters became a topic of discussion on social networks thanks to the couple's explosive emotional response.
Korean media commented that the appeal of the film comes from the fast pace of storytelling and continuous pushing of conflicts. Besides, the acting of Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Jun is also a highlight.
If her senior attracted attention with a humorous, energetic image, Heo Nam Jun showed a flexible ability to transform emotions - from a cold, skeptical person to a clumsy and childish state when facing love.
Previously, Lim Ji Yeon shared that she and Heo Nam Jun often discussed scripts to build emotions for each scene. Meanwhile, Heo Nam Jun said that he always relied on co-stars during filming thanks to his natural harmony on set.
Meanwhile, tvN's "Secret Inspector" also recorded positive achievements when it achieved a rating of 5.9%, becoming the highest-rated episode on Saturday night since it aired.
In the new development, Joo In Ah (Shin Hye Sun) finally admitted her feelings for Noh Ki Jun (Gong Myung) after continuously avoiding it.
Throughout episode 9, In Ah and Ki Jun had many romantic scenes before ending with a "hot scene" at her private home. However, immediately after that, the relationship between In Ah and her ex-boyfriend Jeon Jae Yeol (Kim Jae Wook) was suddenly revealed, raising concerns that her love affair with Ki Jun would encounter new upheavals.
Also on the evening of May 23, the movie "The War in Us" aired episode 11 - recording a rating of 4.1%, while the movie "The Expert of Middle Ages" achieved a rating of 3.6% for episode 2.
