Mr. Kim.' Photo | SBS The SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Mr. Kim" set a new personal best for its Friday broadcast ratings. According to ratings agency Nielsen Korea, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Mr. Kim," which aired on the 10th, recorded a nationwide rating of 20.5%. "Mr. Kim" rose from the previous week and broke its own Friday broadcast record for the second straight week. It also ranked No. 1 in miniseries ratings this year. That day, Kim Bu-jang (So Ji-sub) headed to the Myeongpo Port container area to find his daughter Minji (Seo Soo-min). In the process, he came face to face with Park Kang-seong (Kim Sung-kyu) and fought a fierce battle. Meanwhile, Minji, who had been trapped in a cold storage facility, managed to escape on her own. Kim Bu-jang spotted her running across the top of a container and called out to her, but his voice was drowned out by the rain, and the two missed each other. At the end of the broadcast, Minji, wandering in the rain and asking for help, climbed into a car whose owner was revealed to be Joo Kang-chan (Joo Sang-wook), heightening the tension. Meanwhile, "Mr. Kim" is a revenge action drama about a father universe, in which the "most ordinary" dad in the world becomes the "most dangerous" man in the world to win back his only daughter. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. [Lee Da-gyeom, Star Today reporter] This article has been translated by GripLabs Mingo AI.
