"Good Doctor" Continues To Get The Best Ratings

Viewers seem to have chosen what dramas they are going to watch on Mondays and Tuesdays and are remaining loyal to their choice. The ratings have only changed slightly in the last few weeks, with "Good Doctor" in first place but not breaking the 20 percent rating mark.

This week, the KBS drama "Good Doctor" reached 17.4 percent, with the SBS drama "Empire of Gold" at 11.4 and the MBC historical drama "Goddess of Fire Jeonji" at 8.4 percent.

All three dramas have a lot going for them, but "Good Doctor" with its interesting premise and top-notch cast has remained in the lead. Not only does the show explore what it really takes to be a good doctor, but it also deals with mental health and disability issues that are often not discussed in dramas.

Viewers tune in to see whether the disabled doctor Park Shi On, played by Joo Won, will able to function in the stressful life-and-death setting of a hospital. Will his disabilities prevent him from becoming a surgeon? Will his gifts be recognized?
